I've never done fake nails before, but most of my friends who have done it multiple times don't even suggest starting it.. it's super damaging to your real nails. :S
they file down the surface of your nail so much that it's very damaging. for me, i've done acrylic nails...and the first night, my nails feels kinda numb/slight pain due to the heavy filing & the artificial stuff stuck to it.
it's pretty when it's new. but for me, maybe i'm too rough, or have too much stuff to do la...it's not convenient for me with long nails.
& removing them is a pain in your @$$ because you have to go back to get them removed, which, costs too. unless, you're willing to "pak" it off yourself
My friend had fake nail before...and she said she bought some solvent (kit to remove those nail) from London Drugs..so those plastic will just "melt" in those liquid. But it takes almost 2 hours to remove all... I'm sure I won't do it...
Talking about nail...I patiently wait for my nail to grow and finally it's long enough to put on some nail polish...then because of the plan to go bowling...I trim all the nail....then the bowling got cancelled!!

is the base coat essential? i have it at home but i've never used it
Before I don't use base coat ga...but one time, I have put on nail polish and keep it for almost a month. (put top coat every 2 or 3 days). So after I remove the nail polish...my nail has those colour stick on it too! It's like the colour go inside the nail...From then on, I put base coat all the time la..to protect the nail from this colour chemical that can actually go inside the nail...
Back to the original topic...my friend did her fake nail in Chapter's mall in Richmond. Last about 1.5 months.
i just want something that makes my nails grow faster & stronger. mine chips. & it chips like.... a thin layer on top chips off lor. if you know what i mean...causing it to be really thin. drives me insane.
