Are fake nails worth it? I am thinking of having mine done in time for Christmas.?

They are really great................however, be sure you realize that every two weeks or so you will have to go back to have them filled. And then after several weeks, they have to be taken off, and replaced with new ones. It all counts up to a lot of money, but they do look nice, especially the ones that look like a French manicure.Are fake nails worth it? I am thinking of having mine done in time for Christmas.?
Go for it girl!! Only advice is you go somewhere that has a good reputation, better if recommended to you!


There's lots of places doing nail extensions on the cheap and there is usually a very good reason why they are cheap!! You don't want to be sacrificing your own nails by having cheap acrylic/gel applied!Are fake nails worth it? I am thinking of having mine done in time for Christmas.?
I'll tell you what I tell my teenage daughters....grow your own!





Acrylic nails use super glue to bond the tips to your fingernails, after they sand off the top layer of your natural nail to make it bond better, then a cyanocrynylate powder (super glue) blend to fill in the remaining area. Getting them off requires either peeling or popping them off, which is damaging to your nail bed, or soaking in acetone, also damaging to your own nails. If you choose to keep them, look at 15-20 dollars every 10 days to two weeks to keep getting them filled in. Then you're running the risk of contracting fungus underneath them which can permanantly damage or discolor your nail bed.





Hope this helps.
they look very elegant and classy so they are worth it. But you have to get them removed when they start growing out because they then look really ugly. You can't remove them yourself because it's too painful and the glue would leave residue. I actually bit my thumb with fake nail once and the nail cracked, i was in agony! And it's so annoying trying to pick things like a penny up from a flat surface with those nails in the way. Don't mean to put you off though, they're very pretty.
No, i cant stand women with fake nails... its rediculous, seriously. Instead of spending that money on yourself, try donating it or buying something this xmas for a homeless person or someone who needs something more than you do, that feeling will last a lifetime not a month like those nasty plastic nails.
They look really nice as your having them done and when they are on but as they fall off they rip your natural nail and cause them to thin break and flake, unless afterwards you have the time to do the repair treatment keeping them painted and making sure the polish doesn't chip file them twice a day rub a special hand cream which strengthens them i would say just paint them a nice colour and shape them. I used to wear fake nails a lot but then after i stopped for a while i realised how badly damaged my natural nails were and it took the a year and a half to grow back even remotely strong and healthy.
Don't. They destroy your nails. Get a good manicure instead and ask for a diamond top coat so that it lasts the holiday period. I had fake nails about 7 years ago, and after taking them off it took almost three years for my nails to come back to their orginal natural state.
well kinda.


i did mines for important events.


but for christmas i would totally do it.


but the bad thing for me was that i played sports,


and it always got in the way.


so you can get them done and then let them take it off for you too.!!


hope that helped.

They are worth it, but if you don't want to spend that much, just get the glue on ones. To get them off, soak your nails in hot water when you are ready, thats what I do and it comes off without damaging the nail.
im not one for anything fake on the body, so i would have to say no. i dont think they are worth the upkeep and cost more than they should. i would suggest keeping your hands in beautiful shape and letting your natural beauty be the focus.
it depends if you are ready for the upkeep, you have to pay to do them every 2 weeks to get them filled. ive had acrylic nails for almost 3 years and i love them. they make my real nails stronger.





and they look so classy and elegant. i would say go for it !
I had tips for a year and a half. Then, in making budget cuts, I cut out that luxury. My nails underneath are now very thin and break off all the time. I wouldn't do it unless you can keep on going...
I love my acrylic nails so i would say yes it is totally worth it. You can always try them and if you don't like them take them off and never do it again.
well, go to a manicure place. the ones there will stay on. But if you have contacts don't get them! they are too complacatied to get out. Or if you have contacts, get a smaller size for your nails.
No! I used to have mine done all the time in my late teens. Wish now that I would have used the money in a savings account.
I think they're worth it. Even if you get a simple french tip, it'll look really nice for the holidays because they'll go with any nice outfit you're going to wear.
Fake nails look good and everything, but they hurt your nails. They actually damage you finger nail with the glue and all. So i think it is better just to get no fake nails
do a nice manicure if your going to spend the money because at least with that you are still using your real nail and when christmas is over your not gnawing them off ... and they still look good
Sure they look nice and last awhile you can go with getting them filled every 3 weeks or so!





Go for it!
no there not they tend to fall of or break, so its not worth it they just use your money up, and anyways who wants to be fake
I had them for 5 years and they wreck your nails , they look lovely but very expensive for just a couple of weeks .
do the ones at the salon... a little more expensive but last longer and look betterr! i think its worth itt!
i think it will look good, except if u had to help around to cook xmas dinner.
no way. they are SOOO gross. seriously
