PROFESSIONALLY DONE ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. AND KNOW I AM TRYIN TO GROW MY OWN...THEY ARE GROOVED, THIN AND I AM CONSTANTLY PUTTING NAIL THICKENER ON.What are the pros and cons of fake nails?
you cant put in contacts with fake nails





they are kinda sluttty and fake looking





peolpe will think your high maintenence and lame
Pros- beautifully manicured always perfect nails.





Cons-it is a commitment, it is time consuming, can be costly and is hard on your natural nails. Just make sure you go to a nail salon that is sanitary and dont be afraid to ask what brand of products they use. Check it out and make sure it is a good quality product. Also, ask them to go easy on the drill. Replace with a new set ever 3-4 months and every 6 months or so take them off for about a week if possible.





I personally think its very worth it. I have very nice natural nails but love the convenience of artificials and how perfect they always look. They are so much stronger they rarely break. I had my first break in 5 years a week ago due to playing really rough with my dog.
PROS: They look awesome and kinda make your nails grow faster. Some guys even think they look sexier than real nails.


CONS: They chip, crack, and/or break your nails when removing them. Plus they make a big mess if you do your own(sometimes).
Gel tips are awesome!


They look fabulous, can be done in any color and length and aren't permanent. They can also be used to help you stop biting your nails.


However, they're expensive (usually around $40, at least every month.), even just for a small repair (usually around $5 for a little chip), look horrible unless you can afford to get them done as often as recommended and hurt like a mofo when they break.


Hope that helps!
Pros: Hands look very nice, professional and makes you feel very feminine.





Cons: Infections, breaks, costly for a good set
Pros: They look very nice; they are stronger than regular nails; nail polish won't chip





Cons: They have to constantly be refilled; Putting them on means you have to shave down your real nails so they are very brittle if the fakes get taken off; it's not as easy to change polish colors
