Fake nails!

[startaintedsky]

Lemme just say that this community needs a For Audrey tag- I love that colour, it's gorgeous. :) So my question is, since I'm feeling totally uninspired... I was thinking about doing a french mani with for audrey! Any suggestions to give it some flair

I bite my nails as well as the skin around my nails so I like to get acrylics, since they look pretty.. but i can only take them for so long.

I always have fake nails on. For years I would get acrylics but now I just get solar nails (pink & white). Sometimes if I want a solid color they'll soak off my tips & then I get gel nails. Both of these are more expensive but just personal choices.

Never heard of solar nails. :) I want to still be able to paint my nails, so...

personally, i would never get acrylics. if you take care of your nails they'll get better, whereas acrylics will destroy them and why pay for what your hands will grow naturally? plus i just think they look really obvious and ugly, no offense.

Nah, it's okay- what about gels? I'm open to either, I just want cute nails. :(

honestly, i just feel like any variety of fake nails are really easy to spot and they just look gross to me. gels are better than acrylics because they don't tend to have that really thick look (like honestly whose nails are two centimeters thick, come on) but they're just the lesser of two evils to me. i'm not sure what you dislike so much about your nails, but it can probably be fixed. if you bite your nails, stop. apply cuticle oil or butter or some sort of salve nightly to your nails and the surrounding area and you should see an improvement there as well.

you could also go to a nail salon and just get a manicure and try to keep up the results at home.

They just break and chip like craaaaaazy. :( It's hard, gah.

acrylics are a waste of money and damage your nails more than they are. Plus, you can get diseases from those salons if you're not careful. just take vitamins or eat jell-o. I swear by it. My nails were brittle and gross and I always bit them. Now, they are soooo strong and grow long and fast (I cut them way down on monday and now they are a half inch long.
