Artificial Nails

There are many reasons to use artificial nails. Some women cannot grow nails the length they want, and others have a hard time with biting nails. Sometimes you just want a nice looking nail, but don’t have the time to grow the nails you like. No matter your reason for wanting them, artificial nails are now more popular than ever.

Acrylic nails can be seen in salons around the world, for differing costs. A full set includes the overlay and the nails, while a fill in are what are done when the nail has grown out and the acrylic is separated from the nail bed. A fill in must be done about every 6 weeks to keep the appearance of the acrylic nails natural with the nail bed.
Press on nails can be purchased at most stores now, and are easy to do at home. Kits including the nails, glue and sometimes even nail art can be found for relatively little cost. These may take more time than what would be spent in a salon, but the cost is less and it normally takes less to remove these nails than acrylics.
Regardless of your nail fetish; long and red or sporty and natural, there is an artificial nail for you. Safety with artificial nails is always a concern, as many women do not hesitate in wearing the nails for extended times. The acrylic nails should not be worn longer than 3 months, and should be kept clean and dry. If separation of the nail and the acrylic happens, it is best to remove them immediately so as to avoid bacterial and fungal infections.
