How do you keep the same nail polish on for 1 month?
My nails grow so fast that after 5 days, you can see the separatin between the color and the newly grown nail at the base... then I have to remove everything and color again.. so ma faan!!

I have tried the fake nails from Shoppers Drug Mart. They are easy to apply and actually quite pretty!! But I just used them for the night and had to take them off. It was very inconvenient for me as I wear contact lenses. Cannot take my con off without the fake nail scratching my eyeball!

take calcium supplements maybe?
my doctor told me that about 90% of females need to/should take calcium supplements

or maybe apply cuticle/nail/hand cream! or vitamin e oil..~

it's not great to have polish on for too long anyway...
i have polish on for 1 week max.. and i leave my nails bare for at least 1 week before applying new polish on..

i've never had artificial nails done =( i kinda want to but it'd be so inconvenient...

Alcoholic...I think your condition is like peeling or spliting? If som you are like mine, I have very thin nails and they bend very easily.

Basecoat is a must because it protects your nails and prevent them from turning yellow.

To make nail polish last longer, you can use a nail file to sand down the surface of your nails gently, then, apply. If you use basecoat, sand the surface after you put on base and before color.

Fake nails. Personally, they are great for those who have a hard time growing/keeping their nails to the desired length. I love how they look when they are newly done but hate them when my real nails start growing out. I will eventually have to pay to remove them. The last time however, I just keep clipping and filing them instead of paying to get them removed. I use clear polish (extra think layers on the real nail that grows out) so they look more even. Turned out to be ok so I don't have to go through the pain and waste money.

Applying/removing fake nails don't neccessary hurt unless your nails are very thin and the artist is unprofessional.

The store at metro is expensive and not very pro. Sorry to say but I hate it when they do your nails but keep looking around (daam tin mong daay) and talk loudly with their coworkers in Vietnamese.

A full set of Acqualic or gel nails cost approx 35 but lots of times, you have to pay additional things like Polishing, French manicure, Gel overlay (make them shinny), Designs, etc. I usually end up paying around 50-65.

How long they last depends on how fast your natural nails grow.

BTW, girls, what brand or color do you like for nail polish? I like OPI and Anna Sui
