Re: How do women function with fake nails on...
Posted by Luckydog of FL on 6/14/17 9:50pm Msg #28803
I used to be a nail tech for good 15+ years before diving into this business. If done properly, acrylic nails will last with regular fills and being taken care of and not using them as tools. The problem being, most have stubs underneath from biting, ripping, and want 1" +nails. That doesn't work. Proper acrylic nails should be no more than 1/2 of what your nail bed is underneath, and let them grow out as your nail grows out (either tips or sculpted nails). I wore them for as long as I was doing them, and decided to leave the industry a few years before doing this work. The last 3 years I discovered taking biotin, and decided to grow out my natural nails, and do not miss the acrylics. My natural nails are long, hard and grow like crazy. I wish I knew this back in the day. Anyway...nothing wrong with them, you just have to properly maintain them and get them at the proper length to begin with....AND have a nail tech who uses quality products and experienced in doing them.
Congrats on the little one for graduating! They grow up too fast.
