False nails.

10 replies

FAB5 · 15/04/2011 20:51

I am fed up of not being able to do my nails so they look nice. I have tried false nails once for Christmas Days but they either pinged off or stopped me being able to use my hands normally.

I want some that stay on, look natural and don't hinder me.

Do they even exist??

I have acrylic nail tips. French manicure (White tips). 25 quid, need fill ins every 3 weeks, 15 quid. Stay put, look great.

I can't commit to that but thank you.

I am looking for something pretty basic I guess that I can put on and off when the mood takes me.

if you have false nails you do have to adjust how you use your hands, you'll get used to it though

"jewels not tools"

What are jewels not tools?

Broadway 'real short'. Get them in boots, look even nicer than salon acrylics.

I will have a look on the Boots website as I couldn't see them in the store. Thanks Smile.

Another vote for Broadway Real life Real Short here. They cost about £7 I think but often smaller chemists have them for cheaper. They generally last over a week and don't damage the natural nails as much as gel or acrylic.

Thank you. I am going shopping later so will have a look to see if the shop has any.

Nails bought, any tips before I make a mess of it start?
