11 Tips for Faking It!

Tips posted by BR Tabatha

Faking it has never been easier.  With at least one nail salon or nail tech in practically every town it's so easy to live your best nail life.

Here are 11 tips to live by if you choose to fake it:

  1. If you want the job done properly, go pro.  Ask around and remember, when it comes to nails, you generally get what you pay for.

  2. Seek out certified nail technicians - nails that aren't applied correctly will cause damage and carry a higher risk of infection.

  3. Ensure the salon is hygienic.  Tools should be disinfected between clients and the work area (and entire salon) should be spotless.

  4. Ask questions - ask your technician what they're doing, why and how you should care for your nails in between visits.

  5. Don't pick and pull at your nails.  The bond created by the chemicals is strong - it's supposed to be.  If you want healthy looking nails, go back to your nail tech for removal.

  6. Don't try to repair a nail yourself unless you're confident you can.  Going back to the pros and lessen the risk of an infection.

  7. False nails shouldn't hurt - if they do, tell your tech!

  8. If you develop rashes around your fingertips, face or any other part of your body you touch with your nails, consider you might be allergic to one of the ingredients.

  9. Don't let your tech push back or cut your cuticles - they have a purpose - they're a seal to prevent infections between your nail and skin.  Look after your cuticles by massaging cuticle oil into them daily.

  10. Give your nails a rest every few months to help prevent infections.

  11. Don't use your nails as tools - you've paid for them, so look after them!

Yes I have been getting my nails done on a regular basis, but its not extensions just the gel that needs to be cured so its on my natural nail bed. They use to last 3 weeks but now I am lucky to get 2 weeks. Now I am seriously considering using Essie gel.

I don't get my nails done and they're not in very shape at the moment. I did trial the Teddy Lane false nails and they were easy to use and looked really good.
