Question I have terribly thin nails that break/tear regularly and as a result I keep them quite short. But I'm going on vacation and would like to have longer french tip nails. I tried acrylic nails many years ago but they kept popping off...I was told my skin was too oily. Also, they left my own nails in shambles once removed and it took months for them to recover. Is there a artificial nail not so damaging to my nails. I'm looking for short term unless there's a low maintenance product I can use long term that might help me grow my own nails....????Thank you in advance for your time and advice.
Answer Hi,
if you are looking for a good artificial nail that won't destroy your nails
you should try gel. It doesn't yellow and if you get an experienced tech
the fill time is 3-4 weeks. Make sure you are getting real gel.
A gel is only in a gel consistency not powder and liquid .
Some good gels are :
LCN
EnVouge
Biosculpt
Check out there sites to find a tech in your area.
Remember when you want the nails off go to a professional
most people try to re
remove them there self and that's where the damage gets bad.
