So I found some artificial nails online and they look so pretty and since it's summer right now and there's no school so I bought them. I putted them on, I was warned that I cannot put pressure or scratch anything with my artificial nails. I used nail glue to put on the nails so the nails come off if I soak them with hot water. My problem is I need to wash my hair and I never thought of how to wash my hair when I was putting the artificial nails so NOW I have a problem. How can I wash my hair without removing the nails off from my real nails?? I REALLY don't want to take them off. Please help!
Thank you! =)How do you wash your hair when you have artificial nails on?
Sorry to spoil your fun but those nails come off so easily! You're better off going to the nail shop, spending the $20 and getting some that'll last 2-3 weeks and they look way nice!
About washing your hair... try showering in warm water and not scratching your head!How do you wash your hair when you have artificial nails on?
the same way if you didn't have them on.. just be a little more gentle and a lot more careful!

How long is it safe to keep artificial nails on?
Nails do not breathe! Your nails get all the air they need at the root, and it comes from your blood. Nails are dead tissue, and is the same exact composition as your hair. Take care of your hair and it looks good, same with nails.
How long you CAN wear nails is up to how well your nails take them or how ';abusive'; the nail tech is to your own nails. I have 15 years experience in the nail business, and 20 years of wearing them (at ALL TIMES). Due to the solvents I work with I have to put on a new ';set'; once a month. On clients, I change out the nails as needed... ie: the product on the thumb gets loose, I put a new nail on. Replacing each nail as needed.
Absolutely NEVER pry the nails off, always soak them off in acteone!
As long as you take care of them (treat them as you would jewelry not a screwdriver), the technician is not over filing your natural nails, you keep a length that works well with your lifestyle (ie: if you play softball, you shouldn't have 2 inch long nails), and you inspect them DAILY for problems you shouldn't have any infections or disasters going on with them.How long is it safe to keep artificial nails on?
its safe as long as u keep it clean other wise it can cause infectionHow long is it safe to keep artificial nails on?
If they acrylics it's safe to keep them on for however long you want. Just make sure you get them re-done every few weeks. And make sure water doesn't get caught between your real nail and the fake nails or else it'll get infected.
The answer is that it depends on the extent of the false nails, what type they are, and how they are bonded with the nail.
However as a general rule you should not wear for more than two weeks without giving the nail a couple of days to breathe on its own accord.
This is important for a healthy nail as there is increased risk of infection and other problems when the false nail is attached as it stops the natural processes and breathing as it were of the nail from occurring.
I get gel nails. I take them off every 3months to let my nails breath get strong again then a month later ill get them redone.
I would suggest changing them every 4 fills. My aunt had an infection once and it was NASTY and ended up getting all funky and smelly and infected. don't put that stuff off.
It's not really safe at all. I wouldn't reccomend keeping them on longer than 2 weeks until getting a fill or replacements.
I used fake nails last year....for the WHOLE YEAR!
I wouldn't recommend it for that long...maybe 1 month at a time.
about 2 weeks, but by that time they have usually fell off anyway so...

Artificial nails?
My nails are always breaking and chipping from work. I work as a checkout chick, so they get quite a beating lol.
I was wondering if there are any artificial nails like gel or acrylic, that would stop them from breaking? Just so they can have a chance to grow.
Which would be better to get, gel or acrylic?
I heard they damage your nails too...so would it be a good idea to get them at all?
Thanks!Artificial nails?
You could get a gel or acrylic overlay on your nails. No matter what you do if you put something like that over your nails though they are going to be damaged. If you want something to just strengthen them use Sally Hanson's Hard as Nails. My uncle is a guitar player and he would paint his thumb with the clear one and it strengthened his nail so he could use it to play.Artificial nails?
fake nails just make your nails weaker!
if you want stronger nails try this polish it works amazingly.

gel nails are really durable. you would recieve some benefits from them if you don't get them too long.1 won't break as easily, 2 polish lasts longer
try the salon
go to a nail salon and tell them whats been happening and if theyre good theyll give you good tips
Acrylic nails are not a good idea. when they start to grow out and/or rise, you can get water uder them that will sit there and you could get an infection or something on/ under your real nail.
artificial nails are undeniably cute, but after i take mine off, my nails are damaged! the salons i go to always ';drill'; and ';shave'; my nails at the cuticles, so they leave dent marks once they're taken off. i would have to say artificial nails dont really add strength to your nails... they're just EXPENSIVE coatings =]
acrylic. i had gel and they were always breaking.
just try some clear nail varnish and to hit the key with finger not your nails

I have a question about artificial nails..?
okay so i've had solar nails many times (you know, where they put on the tips and then put the pink and white powder and such), but i want something different next time i go in, and i want to know what to ask for so i dont sound dumb haha.
i'm still wanting fake nails, like where they put the tips on my nails and then put just regular colored (?) powder to even it out. and then where they actually put nail polish on top. so they look like regular nails just painted, but really are artificial.
would that just be acrylic? i'm confused. if that's what i want, what should i ask for when i walk in the nail salon?I have a question about artificial nails..?
Yes what you have on now is acrylics. So if you want that again then say you want acrylics.I have a question about artificial nails..?
if you have arcrylics just go in and get a fill and just say you want them whatever color you picked out :)
get colored tips its really cuteeye liner

Artificial Nails?!?
How do you remove artificial nails without having to go to the actual nail salon??Artificial Nails?!?
Get 100% acetane nail polish remover, and soak them. It will take a really long time. If they don't come off easily, soak them some more.
Whatever you do, DON'T pull or pry them off. They will peel off layers of your natural nail, and cause lots of damage that will take a long time to grow out again.Artificial Nails?!?
They have nailpolish for it.
=]
ok you're going to look funny doing this but IT WORKS!
You're going to need:
1 Pure Acetone
2 Cotton Balls
3 Aluminum Foil
4. Emery board
What you do is soak the cotton ball in the pure acetone and place it on your nail and wrap aluminum foil around each one the aluminum foil helps speed up the process and help remove the acrylic much better. But be sure to remove your polish before hand.. I you see that the fake nails are longer than your natural nail then cut the extra length. Once most of the acrylic has melted off.. the excess stuff that is stuck just lightly file off with the emery board... it wont damage your nail it will help lift off the acrylic leftover... Good luck
Soak in acetone nail polish and peel them off yourself. It can hurt and you have to be kind of careful, but it can be done.
1 - you can chew them off...lol or
2 - buy acetone %26amp; soak your nails in the acetone, practically all day until it dissolves.
soak them in pure acetone...it takes a long time but is so much less painful than having them removed at the salon
cut as much off as you can and then soak them in acetone. artificial nails are terrible for your real nails. expect you nails to be soft after the artificial nails are removed.
Soak them in HOT water, soak them in nail polish remover then when they are lose take a nife under them and pull them of.
If you soak them in WARM acetone, they come off quicker and easier. It takes about 30 minutes and once they get mushy, scrape them with your fingernails. Make sure not to put the acetone in plastic because it will melt the plastic bowl and take your polish off first. My nail girl tells me to cut them with fingernail clippers first because it cracks them and loosens the nail so the acetone can get underneath. Your nails will be brittle and your skin real sensitive because the acetone is hard on your hands, just moisturize with an unscented lotion.
you can get a bowl filled with nail polish remover and soak your fingers in it and they will get very like soggy and you can just pull them off with no pain and no problems also you can do the same thing but put hot water in the bowl but whatever you prefer!
Soak then in nail polish remover
even though some of the responses are correct...the ONLY problem is is that you cant purchase 100% pure acetone without a license....the kind that you can get from sally's or the drug store isnt powerful enough...you will be soaking for hours!!!! if this is the route you wanna take then you will need patience, a buffer and a glass dish to pour the acetone in....oh and the most important thing that i suggest you NOT doing....dont do what one of the posters said and warm the acetone(you will blow something up)

What is the difference between these artificial nails?
Im getting my nails done next week. I have read a few things about them and i read something about Acrylic artificial nails and gel nails. What is the difference between the two? and which of the two look nicer with a french manicure finish? Also what is the purpose of the two? Another thing is which one is cheaper but nicer looking?What is the difference between these artificial nails?
The gel nails are nicer looking, a little more expensive but a lot healthier for your real nails and they stay on longer and look prettier. The difference is that with pink and white acrylic they chip towards the bottom easily and look faker faster with the gel they have more of a polished look and don't chip as easily.

I need to know about fake/ artificial nails...?
My mom has never let me wear artificial glue- on nails. She's only let me use the press on kind. She says that the glue-on kind will weaken my real nails. She decided today that she'll let me use the glue-on ones now, but I want to know if they'll really weaken my nails. I'm not going to use them a lot. Not like I use some then take them off then put some more on immediately. I'll only use them every once in a while. Oh, and also what's the best way to remove them? Thanks!I need to know about fake/ artificial nails...?
I use Sally Hansen Broadway Nails for short nails but they have it in all kinds of sizes no these will not weaken your nails and they stay on for about 7-10 days and to remove the fake nails you soak your hands into warm water and then remove them with your fingers it does not hurt and it will not weaken your nails and the warm water makes it easier to remove I hope this helps :)
