Not sure what a silk rap is. I had gel nails for years I loved them. I can just now afford them and am planning on starting again. But maybe I'll look up this silk rap.

Silk wrap fo the nails?

my mom dosent let me get fake nails.is silk wrap the same thing?or is it just a nail polish?Silk wrap fo the nails?
Well, I have seen many people put silk over acrylic which doesn't make much sense to me. There is ';silk wrap'; nail polish which isn't really different from any other nail polish so don't waste your money on it! You can get REAL silk wrap done at a nail salon. It really helps to strengthen your nails and looks really nice! Its a little pricey but really worth it. The nail techs will cut a piece of real silk to fit your finger nail exactly and glue it onto your nail, wrapping it a few times. MUCH better than fake nails! If you must have a little extra length in your nails you can get just the tip glued on and then wrapped in silk! Good choice!Silk wrap fo the nails?
hey if anyone has any pictures of the outcome can you please show me? thx lots

Silk wrap I think is still considered fake nails. I think it adds a material to your nails and doesn't come off for quite awhile. A lot of people do it, but it kind of sucks because it kind of ruins your real nails underneath. I wouldn't recommend it. I would recommend just doing a basic natural pedicure that just takes care of your own nails and does a nice paint job to them.
A silk wrap is another form of artificial overlay for the nail, just done with silk rather than acrylic or gel systems.

After Silk Spectre has got nailed by Dr.Manhattan, how could Night Owl ever compare!?

Night Owl did have an assortment of devices at his beck and call. Plus, Manhattan was doing her, reading a good book, hanging out at his favorite Pub, exploring Pluto, working in the lab, doing Paris Hilton(really-you gotta see that video), and contemplating the meaning of it all at the same time.After Silk Spectre has got nailed by Dr.Manhattan, how could Night Owl ever compare!?

Silk wrap or acrylic nails?

I just got my nails done the other day with my dad's gf.


she told the lady to do silk wrap on my nails or whatever thats called.





a few months ago I had my nails done with acrylic.





I was just wondering, whats the difference?what do you girls do?should i do it the other way?Silk wrap or acrylic nails?
Silk wraps are more flexible and thinner. Acrylic is more durable. Personally, I find that acrylic holds better because it stands up to water and abuse. Silk wraps don't.





Neither enhancement is more damaging that the other. What's damaging is the nail technician and her technique. If she is not using a drill to file or over filing on your natural nail then there shouldn't be that much damage. Also if she is using quality products there shouldn't be either.Silk wrap or acrylic nails?
they look and feel the same, but wraps are less damaging for the names.

Should I get a silk wrap (nails)?

I wanna get my nails done for my birthday, but my nails are thin and short from the last time I got them done because I got acrylic nails. I was advised to use silk wraps because they're better for your nails (even though I understand that any sort of fake nails weaken your nails) but I dunno if they'll last long because I use my hands a lot for cleaning and whatnot (I need them to last at least 2 weeks). Is it worth it to get a silk wrap or should I just get acrylic again?Should I get a silk wrap (nails)?
I have had acrylic nails on for almost 20 years and my nails are probably crappy under, but I dont ever have them removed, so I dont see them.


If you are going to keep getting them done on a reguar basis, go for the acrylic - its stronger and lasts better.


If you only intend on having them on for your birthday - get yourself a professional manicure instead.
