Hi S&B,
I recently decided I wanted to start getting my nails done (thanks to instagram!) and I have really enjoyed it, I feel more put together. But I think I may be asking for the wrong thing.
I currently have acrylics with gels on top. With extensions. These don't chip, and are easily changed, no need to soak off (which I don't like the thought of) in bowls of water or anything. But I feel they look a bit 'thick' and very fake, and I don't love them. (Photo is right now- I decided to go plain this time).
My real nails are super short and weak as I bite them. Is there something else I could ask for? When I asked for recommendations on Facebook, most of the independent people said they didn't do acrylics but did do gels. Do gel people add extensions as needed, or just put on your natural nails? Some sites I looked at said they do builder gel, what is this?
Any advice appreciated! Thank you
