Ok, so I FINALLY got rid of my fake nails that I got put on for the wedding yesterday. I soaked them in nail polish remover with acetone until they kinda "popped" off. Now my real nails looks like complete crap. What's the best way to get them looking normal again???
Re: Fake Nail question
bio
I would just go get a manicure at a salon. They aren't that expensive and they can make your nails look nice agian!
My real nails are super sucky anyway.... they are literally paper thin.... I don't know if it's a lack of calcium or what, but they've never been really "pretty". They just look even worse now. I'm debating on having the fake nails put back on anyway. I just don't want to have to deal with the upkeep of them.... going back in once every one or two weeks to have them filled would be a major pain in the ass.
Just wait it out! Or use a hardening agent to strengthen them. They're going to stay weak until they grow out b/c there's no new nail being grown at the ends. Mine are about 1/2 way grown out, and you just have to keep filing and buffing until they're sort of smooth.
Manicures are good too
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
this is what i would do too, then you can keep them up yourself with a buffer and sally hansen or nail tek nail hardner
This is me too! I've always had paper thin nails and when I used to get tips you really do just have to wait it out and let them grow. =( Sorry i don't have better news. Getting a mani might help. Sally Hansen "Hard as Nails" is good but I use a stuff called Nail Envy made by OPI. They have different formulas. I use the soft and thin one.
