Has anyone ever gotten acrylic nails?? If so did you like them or is it something you tried but will never do it again?? lol I just recently got my nails done and they are driving me crazy!! i'm sure I will probably get them again sometime, but not for a long time!
-
I used to get them all the time and I love them. They look great. Since I moved I haven't found a new salon to go to so I let my natural nails grow out. It took them a long time to get strong again but I miss having them.
-
they are hard to get use to but you do.. I remember the first time I had them I wanted to take them off in 10 mins.. but now if i get them I love them.
-
I have had them before my best friend did them for me. I loved the way they looked and the way they made me feel. Like a little bit more confident and pretty I guess. I don't like that they mess up natural nails tho they were so soft and brittle afterward and they hurt so bad when they break and sometimes the first days or two as well. They are very pretty tho.

I used to have acrylic nails but it took some time to get used to them. Once I got them off my nails were really unhealthy and now i do a lot of outside gardening so its difficult to take care of them. So I haven't got them done in a while and I probally won't unless I give up gardening. Best of luck with your nails :)

I had them for about 1 year. They were the Solar nails. I decided to quit the maintance and expence though. I'd get a fill every 2 weeks and with the tip I'd spend close to $30 each fill! I'm a SAHM and figured I'd just keep my nails short and neat and save the money for something else.
-
Yes I have gotten them done and they drove me batty but then I did them myself and weird thing was they did not drive me as crazy
-
i have had them before --- :heart: how they looked, but my nails curve and grow too fast that I couldn't keep them looking the way I liked :)
-
I would love to get acrylic nails - but I am afraid that with my work, they would interfere with the job. I work in healthcare and am constantly wearing gloves and don't want to rip them....They look easy to handle...are they worth the try??

i got them several years ago, they are nice , but when you don't want them any more , they hurt coming off and tear up your real nails

Yes, I have. There are some factors to consider. Yes, they make your hands look beautiful, but @ the cost
of a weak, fragile nail bed which takes months to heal. Let's not forget to mention the possibility of developing
a fungus under your own nail, if water seeps in because the manicurist missed a spot.
Also, in this economy, the bi-monthly cost for repairs & maintenance is considered a luxury not a necessity.

I had them once when I was 10 and I hated them. I could barely do my work during school so I went into the bathroom and took them off. Never again.
-
No, never have. I always wanted to try them.
-
No and I doubt I ever will. They are very bad for your nails and I really don't find them attractive at all.
-
I loved the way that mine looked, but i had such a hard time getting used to them. all but one of them have come off and my nails are so unhealthy and they hurt really bad...I'm not sure if it's worth it to keep getting them. now i'm not saying that i will never get them again, because i probably will again at sometime, but not for a long time lol

I started getting my nails done when I was 15. I was hooked. now I am 34. i can,t remmemmber the last time i had my nails done. I do miss them when i see my girlfriends whith them. Then i look down at my nails and miss my hands looking like that . but the cost. money and with four kids and a job that does not pay much I realy can't right now. :angel12:

I had them for years when I lived in New York. They were great and they always made my hands look polished and elegant. The only part I hated was when I would have them removed to give my real nails a breather, my real nails would be so thin and brittle and dry. Not fun, so I would wait a couple of weeks until my nails came back to normal and back on with the acryllics again. The only time I wouldn't wear them is when I was pregnant because those chemicals can get into your bloodstream.

I got them when I wanted to get french tips, just painted. This was my first time getting my nails done. I tried to explain it to them but someone how I ended up getting acrylics and a pedicure. I hated it. I kept telling the guy I didn't want them that long and he kept going "no it's fine it's fine." They look nice on other people. I just can't deal with the feeling that if I'm not careful my whole nail will rip off.
-
I used to get my nails done, but after a while they got to be too much of a hassle and too expensive having to get them filled every other week (my nails grow super fast). Plus after I took mine off my nails were really unhealthy looking for the longest time. Now I just prefer my long natural nails and can paint them and design them any which way I want. Maybe sometime in the distant future I'll get them done again, but not anytime soon.

:wave:
yes i have had them. i loved them. when i get a chance i will get them again. it was something i did for myself. i'm a mom and i do everything for everyone else and i started do that for me. the only thng in my life that was just for me, i will do it again soon.
-
yes but i hate taking them off and how i have to wait for my nails to get strong again before i can put new ones on
-
I've only used the temporary Halloween ones. I work with my hands a lot, and they would get in the way and/or damaged.
-
I have never gotten acrylic nails-never had to. My nails have always grown out very long. Also I have seen what acrylic does to your natural nails and its not a pretty sight.
-
ive had them and loved them..just gotta be extra careful with them.
-
I have done my own with the acrylic nail set you can buy at the store it dont last as long as getting it done by someone who knows more about it but your nails dont look as bad when your done.
-
yes i got acrylic nails b4 it was alrite but i wuld never get them again :icon_rr:
-
i got acrylic nails only once and professionally done, but i'm a perfectionist and they were perfect enough for me. some of them were crocked and it bothered the hell out of me.
