I agree!!! I'm going away for two weeks and I should be looking very prim and proper so I'm going to get them done mainly for the part that my polish will stay on for two weeks.
Wow Something 2 say, 30 years and you do it yourself!! I'm amazed!!
I have to disagree because I don't think fake nails look that good. I'd much rather see someone with a nice manicure on naturally short nails then an obvious set of acrylics (short or long). I'm all about beauty products and putting effort into your appearance, but there's something about fake nails that just doesn't look right. For most of my life, my nails have been weak and subsequently short. I would never have considered fake nails as an alternative not just because I don't think that they look good, but mostly because of the harm they do to your natural nails.
I suppose if fake nails make you feel more confident and/or better about your appearance, then that's all that matters. I guess I'd rather see someone putting effort into their appearance even in the form of fake nails, then no effort at all.
