How many of you have your nails done?

I LOVE my acrylic nails! It's so nice to have long, pretty nails. And I have no problem typing. My real nails are already paper thin anyway so I can't grow them on my own. I've had acrylics for years now. I've got a great nail tech. Dare I say she doesn't speak a foreign language while I'm there? That was a big pet peeve of mine before I found here a few years ago. That is just plain rude. Plus, I found out most of those places use dental powder instead of the proper nail powder because it's a lot cheaper. They just pour the powder into the nail powder containers.

I had this great long natural nails.... not as thick but good.... until baby came ..... and since i´ve ALWAYS wore long nail i was useless without them so i went acrylic.....

I feel your pain Donna.... the thing is they use the dremel sooooo much so they leave you with this paper thin nails..... and they hurt..... if they keep a bit longer they will bleed...... so i just tell them not to dremel.... even if they don´t last as long..... I HATE that pain!!..... and about taking them off....OMG!!..... they are like ripping you off of them... so I bette do that on my own.... just a lil pure acetone and patience... I better take a longer while taking them off that let them yank them from me...... they don´t care, they are not their nail and they don´t feel our pain....

I have done my nail by myself a couple times too.... right now I´m in teh process off ones of Pirete theme I did myself.... haha and making some new ones of cat design......
