    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
