Fake Nails Biography
Acrylic nails aren't likely to harm your natural nails. It's important to be cautious when using acrylic nails, however.
Sometimes a gap develops between the acrylic nail and the natural nail. If the acrylic nail is bumped or jarred, it can separate from the natural nail. This gap provides a moist, warm environment in which a nail infection can flourish. A nail infection might also occur if acrylic nails are too long or too rigid, or the nails are applied with unsanitary tools. If you develop a nail infection, your natural nail might become thick or ragged and appear discolored.
It's also possible to have an allergic reaction to components of acrylic nails or the adhesives used to apply them. This can result in redness, swelling and pain around the nail.
If you choose to have acrylic nails applied in a salon, take steps to minimize the risks:
Stick to salons that display a current state license, and work only with technicians also licensed by the state board.
Be wary if you notice fumes. A strong odor could be a sign that the salon is poorly ventilated.
Make sure your nail technician properly sterilizes all tools used during your treatment and washes his or her hands between customers.
Soak your nails in a fresh bowl of soapy water before treatment begins.
Don't allow your cuticles to be pushed back or trimmed. This can increase the risk of a nail infection.
Don't allow the surface of your natural nails to be filed or roughened before the acrylic nails are applied. This weakens your natural nails.
Request a new nail file — or consider bringing your own, since nail files can't be sterilized.
If you opt to apply acrylic nails at home, follow the safety precautions printed on the package. Work in a well-ventilated area, and be careful to protect the skin around your nails from the chemicals used to apply acrylic nails.
If you suspect a nail infection or have redness, swelling or pain around a nail, consult a dermatologist for an evaluation.However, in the last few months, without the motivation of ‘the wedding’ and being under quite a bit of stress, I started biting again. Oh the shame.
Anyway, as some of you may recall, I had a glamourous wedding industry soiree to attend a couple of weeks ago which I was rather nervous about. I had the dress, and my hair and make up plan sorted {ish}. But when I tried on my outfit a couple of days before and did a few poses in the mirror with my imaginary champagne glass {you all do it too don’t you?} I gasped at my stumpy bitten nails. They just wouldn’t do. But as I only had 2 days till the soiree the only way to miraculously go from bitten to beautiful was to go artificial.
In hindsight, I think bitten nails would’ve have been a fair better option than what I am left with. As I type this post, I’m looking down at dried out, paper thin, ridged, broken, sore nails.
Let me tell you the story of the worst beauty treatment of my life…
I saw that the local high street salon had a sign for ‘gel nails’ I popped my head in to ask for more info and to see if they could squeeze me in. The receptionist ushered me into the seat in front of their specialist nail therapist {who didn’t speak much English at all}, she grabbed my hands and asked what I wanted. I said ‘gel nails’ and before I knew it she had turned on this horrific buffing machine and was using what looked like a dentist’s tool to scrape the top layer of my own nails off!!!
There was a moment when I thought, shall I run? But then I remembered the soiree…and thought how lovely it’d be to have pretty nailsThere was no sanitizing of hands or products, I noticed the therapist had rough hands and uncared for nails herself ~ which is never a good sign. She didn’t soak my hands in hot water or gently push back my cuticles but gave them a quick, harsh poke with an orange stick. I was shocked at how roughly she handled my hands and fingers. When I think of that buffing machine it makes me shudder ~ it made such an awful sound when it was cutting through my poor nails and the therapist rushed through each nail like it was a race.
I later realised that it really was a race to fit as many people as possible because as my treatment was coming to an end and the therapist was finishing my 2nd coat of polish, another lady came in and asked if she could have her nails done so I was swiftly instructed to move to the corner of the table {sans a topcoat} to dry my nails in the little drying machine while the therapist grabbed the other lady’s hands and got to work. Talk about a conveyor belt!
Also, the therapist took a call. Yes that’s right, as she was doing my nails, she answered her mobile and started chatting away for 10 minutes.
But worst of all…she didn’t actually use gel {at the time I was wondering why the process was so different to how Chantal, my lovely therapist, who did my gel nails in the run up to my wedding did them}. It was so different because she was actually applying ACRYLIC NAILS! If I had known they were acrylic I would have steered clear.
I wanted to scream at the unprofessionalism of it all and although the finished product looked OK, the service was appalling and ‘after care’ was not in their vocabularly…
