I've been thinking about getting silk wrap nails...i used acrylic for 2 years and i have my own nails back again but im having a problem keeping them long and pretty.
So what exactly are silk nails...do they drill your nail beds like arcylic nails....are they heathly?? etc.Silk Wrap Nails...??
Try Bio Sculpture nails. They apparently dont file your nails thin, and are great. I have tried them yet, although I am in the same position as you. There arent that many places that do it here in Oz..Silk Wrap Nails...??
im a nail tech, a lot of my customers has quit using acrylic nails, due to the fact that it weakens your nails, and switched to liquid gel overlay, which is a lot safer on your nails and feels very natural.
for an gel over lay all we need to do is file you nail a bit, to remove oils and dead skin on your nail, no drilling is involved

Okay so all I want are nice looking nails for the beginning of the school year. Silks, Gels, or Acrylics?
My friends have tried all of them. I just dont want my nails to be paper thin and stuff afterwards. Im only looking to get one re-fill. And dont tell me just not to get them becuase I have money saved up specificaly for them and this is what I want to spend it on. Thank you! =]Okay so all I want are nice looking nails for the beginning of the school year. Silks, Gels, or Acrylics?
Trust me as a woman who's worn nails for years... GO GEL. You can't go wrong if that's what you want to spend your money on. They are far better than acrylics or even silk. Acrylics are cheaper yes, but they will destroy your natural nails underneath. Silks are more for those who don't want to wear fakes any longer and used acrylic.. it helps strengthen their nails until they don't need anything anymore on them. Gel is your best bet. I've used it for years and have never once been sorry. They look the most natural, are gentle, and are tougher than acrylics.Okay so all I want are nice looking nails for the beginning of the school year. Silks, Gels, or Acrylics?
Gels are the most gentle on the nails %26amp; they look very natural. Acrylics are harsh %26amp; will make your nails really thin %26amp; they'll have ridges in them when you take off the nails. The silk wraps wont last as long. I'd recomend the gels, they're really pretty %26amp; you can still paint over them

get gel if you want them to look really clear
i use acrylic only beacuse i put polish on my nails
but i have had gel before and they look the most natural
None..once school starts you'll be too busy and your nails will be a hassel to do. However in my opinion acrylic would probably be best.
dont go and get your nails done, well, what you should do, its right away go get some sally hansen maximum nail growth stuff use that, its really helps, if you want strong nails you have to then use sally hansens hard as nails or diamond strength nailpolish, preferably clear so your nails dont get yellow when there longer you should go get your nails dont the day before school so they're not messed up, when you get them, get acrylics %26amp;%26amp; when your done do the same things to your nails with the sally hansen stuff.. =]
Acrylic.
I like acrylics
I like toe nails with some jam
acrylics or gels i here silks are not that great I love my acrylics and my sis does the gels her's look so real it is unbelieveable
gel there not as bad for your nails in my experience last longer and look better
Crystle Gels
i think you should get acrylics!! they look so good and all my friends get them!!
I WOULD GO WITH A CLEAN MANICURED NAIL. LIGHT COLORS, LIKE PINK. IT LOOKS NEAT AND CLASSY. HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED IN THE MAGAZINES, NONE OF THE GIRLS HAVE FAKE NAILS OR FRENCH MANICURES, AND IT LOOKS SO CLEAN AND FRESH.

Clueless about salon nails, what to get, acrylic, gel, silk tip, etc?
I am the only girl out of four boys and am finally coming into my own as a women. I recently tried Kiss everlasting french nails and really like how they looked on. They didn't last very long and I would like something ...nicer. I am wondering does using fake nails make them weaker over time? Also if you wear fake nails what kind is best or what is the difference between different kinds? I know of three kinds of nails: acrylic, gel, silk wrap/tips. What exactly are they? Which one are best? How much should I be paying?
My natural nails grow fairly fast and are thick enough but brittle sometimes. I am going to start eating gelatin to strengthen them. I am a very active person so I would like to get nails that can handle that.
Thank you so much in advance for helping a recovering tom boy!Clueless about salon nails, what to get, acrylic, gel, silk tip, etc?

In a silk wrap, they add silk fibers to your nails and seal it for strength. As far as me, I would 10 times rather have a pedicure than a manicure. It's so relaxing! And, it can sometimes be hard to get all the rough skin, and clean up little toenails yourself (because you have to bend over, while the salon person has more leverage). You can keep as little or as much on for the massage as you want. If you don't want to show too much, just do what feels comfortable. They will keep whatever part they're not massaging covered with a towel. Remember, they see bodies all day...my friend's dad who is an ob-gyn says that he never understands why women are uncomfortable getting pelvic exams. He says that he does so many, that it's just automatic--they all seem the same, and he doesn't ever notice if people shave or whatever. lol I'm sure massage therapists are the same way. If you want to be modest, you could wear boy shorts and a sports bra. Enjoy!What is a silk wrap for nails?do you prefer a pedicure or manicure or manicure for my first spa visit?

How can i make my nails strong after removing a silk wrap?
I started getting silk wraps about 3 years ago because my nails grow long but they would be really brittle and break easy, some one told me that a silk wrap will strengthen my nails. I am tired of gettin silk wraps and want to remove them because its thinning my natural nails but the nail tech said if i do my natural nails will break off, I personally think she would just hate to see the money go, Is there any other way i can strength my natural nails?How can i make my nails strong after removing a silk wrap?
Take them off and buy some strengthning nail polish which can be found in most stores which has a beauty section, also drink plenty of milk as this helps strengthen the nails, If you are a vegan or just hate milk you can buy calcium tablets from a health store, but don't listen to the nail technician as your nails won't drop off that I can be sure of !How can i make my nails strong after removing a silk wrap?
the best nail treatment I ever have used in Nail Envy - it really works if you give it a few weeks. I used i and most folks thought I had acrylics
--%26gt;nail strengthening base coat%26lt;--
that way u can also wear whatever nail polish color u want over it also. (your nails can be pretty WHILE they grow instead of feeling like they got to be ugly while u wait)
there are all sorts of different brands
There are some types of nail polish that make your nails nice and strong and they really work. You can by the clear strong nail polish at a local store most likely.

Acrylic, Gel, fiberglass, or Silk Wraps for my nails?
I have naturally beautiful nails that grow long and strong. I love getting my nails polished at a salon, but the polish always begins to chip the next day! I am tired of wasting my money and want to know what I can apply to my nails to keep the polish on the longest.
I have had acrylic before, and dislike the thickness and bulkiness on my nails. I want something to feel thin and natural- and help give me long lasting polish! I am unfamiliar with gels and silk wraps. I've heard about fiberglass, but don't know anything about it.
Thanks for your help!!!!! Have a great day!Acrylic, Gel, fiberglass, or Silk Wraps for my nails?
I have always had long, strong nails, too. I would never get anything but polish put on them. They will make your nails weak. To help polish last longer: if you have a manicure go home and put a top coat on, then put top coat on every couple of days. I use Sally Hanson Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat. It dries fast and works great. Also, if you are doing any cleaning be sure to wear gloves.Acrylic, Gel, fiberglass, or Silk Wraps for my nails?
gel and silk are very fragile, and expensive.
Tell your nail tech to do your acrylic very very thin, and give it a gel overlay. It'll cost about $50 for the original nails, but the color lasts longer and looks smoother, and you can remove it with nail polish remover without damaging the gel.
