As if to a very stupid child - I know nothing about this stuff.
Basically - I want nice nails but am too lazy to do much about it at home. They currently look shit. When they get too long I bite off the excess, and that's the extent of my regime.
So gel nails - basically fake nails over the top of my existing nails and a standard length? Is that right? What happens when my actual nails grow longer than the fake bits? How long do they last - if I get it done next week will they still be there at Christmas? How do you get them off? Does it feel weird?
