personally i hate them on a daily basis. such as school and college and work. it looks uncomforable. but they look good for like prom, dances, office parties, special events...etc.. im 18
when they are too long they look hideous
School work huh








im 24, I prefer real nails on my fiance, un colored. not very long.





(she doesent need the extra weapons ;) )
I love them...the way they look but even more just getting them...that feeling of being pampered for a few minutes i guess lol....age 18 female.
I like 'em. Not claw like, nice and short with pretty designs. Plus, the acrylic makes your real nails grow, and eventually you'll just need them ';wrapped';-without the artificial nail...I'm 27 by the way.
I'm 24, and I think they are a waste of money. They ruin your natural nails, and cost too much to keep up. Plus, they look fake, which I think makes them unattractive.
I dont like them. But I dont like long nails. They are not good for picking at anything like your nose or behind and females are always worried about chipping or breaking one. I also work with children and it wouldnt be acceptable for me to have long fake nails anyhow. I am a female and i am 36.
im 13. I love getting acylic nails. I think its really cute to get a french manicure and instead of white get a color, like pink. Soo cute.
I don't like them when they are just for everyday stuff. But if it's a formal event then they look good.
First of all, I am eighteen. Artifical nails are beautiful for special occasions--such as prom, dances, weddings..etc. But, as far as everday living--meh. Artifical nails are known to collect bacteria underneath--and they provide a huge risk when worn around fire...chemistry labs..cookings..they are made of plastic...they will burn. So, I would only have them done for a special reason.
I'm 20, i like them short and neat
hi i am 14 a girl and i think artificial nails are just fake it looks best if you grow real ones to the point where they are just past the tip of your finger and just shape and file them they will look gorgeous plus they just get in the way i have had them before


also short bold nails are in these days too so you really dont need them i hope this helps
I think they r cute, 13
I would rather have the real metal ones to build things with than plastic ones 'cause the hammer would break 'em!
I have gotten so that I can't live without mine. I have found that gel nails are well worth the extra expense over acrylic nails. I don't have near the lifting nor fungal problems with gel nails.





age 48
I like them, espically for important events (17)
I love artificial nails. I have mine done, so that they aren't too long, with a french manicure, and I get compliments all the time. I am 27 and in the Beauty business.
I like the way they look but I can't wear them because they always fall off of me!~ (21)
I like them, as long as they aren't really long.
I'm 24, I have worn acrylics for about 10 years, I love them, they protect my cuticles (which suffer horribly when I take my breaks from them), my boyfriend also loves them for their amazing back scratching ability.

My sister, who is 19 as of next month, cannot get ENOUGH of them.
