I was studying to become a nail tech so I use to wear them alot and have all sorts of nail art - now I cannot stand the smell so don't get them done so my nails are now horrible bitten and not pretty.

I have had acrylic and have grown my own but am considering getting them again as I keep getting stressed and biting my own nails!

MINE ARE THE SAME NAE IF I DONT HAVE MY NAILS THERE TERRIBLE AND I CHEW THEM ALWAYS ,BUT WITH ACRYLICS YOU KNOW IVE NEVER PUT THEM NEAR MY MOUTH ....

MEL.i just go to profanails ( spelling lol) there quick and cheap enough

SARAH.. kool im going to get the glitter i had that done for my wedding so i might try that again next infill

[{sarah}]

I'm the same, it's my one thing I do for myself

Right now mine are painted french with a silver glitter line because I was in a wedding two weeks ago. Mine are different depending on whether I am doing anything special or lately whether Juliette can handle the extra time for painting & drying LOL! My favourite thing I used to do was get the pierced, looks very funky.

Dusty, I've had the glitter acrylic & it looks awesome I had it just on the tips, so it was like glitter french if that makes sense. It does take longer for them to do the infills if you have just the tips though because they have to do the glitter tips then the regular bottoms (??). You can get the glitter in stacks of colours or a multicolour one. Hmmmmm now I want my glitter tips back LOL!

[barney]

oh sarah h that sounds so kool im getting the glitter tips heheh
OMG and the peircing i want that done does the normal nail shops do that ??

[NaeNae]

Most should its fairly easy for them to do the charm. Just ask when you make the booking

I have had them before but I melted them on a candle didnt smell or look so good I can tell ya

My natural nails normally grow really well when I am UTD but lately sence turning 30 they are growning all by themselves IRL friends kept asking if I am UTD...

But ATM with all the worry over moving and where we will live I have noticed my bad habit of slowly filing them off with my teeth is coming back so now I only have one nice nail left I will have to start to grown them again coz they look so pretty...

BTW my sister always gets a great nails with cool colours and piercings... they look ubra cool...

I have real nails... only because I apparently have oily nail beds so acrylics fall off me within a week after getting them. After spending time and money getting them done to have them last not even a week led me to have to deal with it and grow my own. I love the look of acrylics though and wish I could get my poor brittle & weak nails to look the same.

I haven't had acrylics since my wedding in 2005. I've thought a lot about getting them again but would only do it if I could afford to maintain it as I know how much it wrecks the nails. I have natural nails which I don't keep too long as I do a lot of typing, but I don't bite my nails. I had a mani/pedi the other day (my first ever pedi) and I love the way my natural nails look after the mani. I did get the girl to do a french polish, but I bumped it before it was fully dry so I took off the polish the next day and buffed my nails at home. I might just get regular mani's to keep my natural nails looking good.

Yep most normal nail shops should be able to do the piercing for you. Otherwise you can buy the little kit to take with you or do it at home (but it's a bit hard one handed!). You can usually get them at hairdresser, beuaty shops, chemists, you know like Priceline or Hairhouse Warehouse. Actually I have a stack here somewhere, if I can find them I can send you some (I think I have a spare drill thingo too).

I had them done for years, and now after reading all your comments i want them back again. I used to get french tips most of the time, sometimes colour if I had something special on

[barney]

[{sarah}]

[barney]

[Willow]

I had mine done for about 5 years but haven't had them done again since DD was born

Both times I went back to work after mat leave I was going to get them done again but my nail salon had closed down and I couldn't find anywhere else that I thought I'd be happy with.

How many of you go to those mass production type places - you know the kind I mean? They've sprung up everywhere the last few years.

My nail lady used to do the funkiest nails for me - different coloured acrylic tips, glitter acrylic....they were so cool. I miss them

I have gel nails, can't use acylic sensitive skin. Had them for 2 years now, love them. Depends on mood what I have done, at the moment french tip. I go to the bulk places, called profesional nails. Though there is another one at the mall where I go and would not go there everyone that I know who has ended up with an infection.
