Professional nails?

Okay.,


im getting my nails done tommrow..


andd thiss is my 1stt timee.


doo you theyy feel weirdd at firstt


someone told me they get in your way.. do they?


how long do they stay on..?Professional nails?
They take some time getting used to and if they are much longer than your real nails they do tend to get in the way till you are used to having them. They also really hurt when you hit one wrong or snap one off. They stay on quite awhile and do damage your real nails. Always remove them by soaking them in acetone or nail remover, never peel them off.Professional nails?
they take time to get used to.


I haaave some on right now,


and, haha i dont remeber the last time i didnt have them on.


I %26lt;3 THEM!





they will stay on for a month,


but they start growing out after a couple weeks,


then you go in and get whats called a fill.





they get in your way sometimes, but everything gets in the way sometime!





%26amp; at first they kinda hurt, like the first day, but no worries,


its just the pressure on your nails:).
They do feel weird at first they hurt a little at frst because they put pressure on your nails but after that they are fine. They do get in your way but you get used to them super quick. They stay on for about 3+ weeks unless you are really rough with them then 2-3 weeks. They are super fun to have on and they look so great.
I have worn them for years and you get use to them really quickly I would not recommend leaving them on for too long at a time because they are really hard on your nails, they stay on until you have them removed with the exception of ones that chip and break, ( getting them removed hurts) feels like someone is ripping your nails off try to have them soaked off!
i've kept my nails done for the past 3 yrs cause it looks professional for my job...if they get too long there annoying...other than that i love em!


i get mine filled in almost evry other week(every 2 weeks) but sometimes i can go 3 weeks without a fill in..but my manicurist gets mad..lol
My acrylics lasts about 2-21/2 weeks then time for fill-in..It all depends on how thick they lay the acrylic.....sometimes it may not last 2 weeks...Different nail techs do nails differently.If you get long and you're not used to having long nails yes they will feel funny..it may be harder to type....put on jewelry..etc.but u would get used to it..I suggest getting them short for your first time...My nails now are about an inch long and im still adjusting to them...got them last week.
As long as they are not too long, they're not a problem. They stay on anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks depending on how fast your nails grow and how careful you are with them. They only get in the way until you are used to having them.
Mine stayed on for a couple weeks, and there not that bad. just make them cut them short. Like so you can barely see them over your fingers. the person will say, no to shory, but tell them to cut them or you will leave withou paying. lol.
Yes, at first you may feel weird but then it's OK.However you should know that them could cause some damage to your real nails.
there hella annoying. you ca't write/text/button your own pants.

How do professionals take off acrlyic nails?

I just got mine done last week and i'm just wondering how the nail salon people take them off.How do professionals take off acrlyic nails?
They make you soak your fingernails in acetone then they file them and they soak them and they pop them off. You could do it at home too.

Can you go to a professional pedicure place if your have jacked up feet? (fungus, atletes foot, yellow nails)?

Yes you can, but as a consideration to the pedicurist, inform them of your condition before removing your footware. Some, if surprized with it, may refuse to perform their services. Others may have treatments that work better than standard OTC medications.





I hope this helps. Good luck.Can you go to a professional pedicure place if your have jacked up feet? (fungus, atletes foot, yellow nails)?

Professional nails or Self press on nails?

I've been thinking about getting acrylic nails done at a salon for awhile but my mom has been saying that acrylic nails damage your real ones and they're real expensive. I asked her about buying the cheap self press on nails you can buy at Walmart and she said that they weren't as damaging. But the thing is, the self press on ones only last less than a week! At least that's what I heard... I've been wanting to try out fake nails just to see what they're like since painting my nails just doesn't last long. Which kind do YOU think I should try?Professional nails or Self press on nails?
Quit trying to be so damn girly and just cut your nails like regular people do.Professional nails or Self press on nails?
professional
the professional ones hurt like hell when you get them on, and yess they do damage your nails ALOT.


but the upside is they look alot better than the press on ones.





oh and it you do get professional, get the solar ones.

What is a nice professional Length for nails?

The most common, most professional length is to the end of the finger and square.. square and short but not too short is IN. Long and too short boyish nails are out.What is a nice professional Length for nails?
short and trimmed!!What is a nice professional Length for nails?
i would say 1/2 an inch, french manicure
I say 1/4 inch, which is Navy regulation standards for women and actually i think it looks good too
I'd say to then end of your fingertip or just a touch longer and squared off. Also avoid bright polish colors. Neutral colors will look ok but the ';in'; thing is dark polish.
1/2 inch
Just a little long than your finger tips.

Professional nails..?

i got my nails professionally done and i want them off.. is there something i can soak them in to get them soft? i really dont want to go to the salon again and pay to get them off. i heard nail polish remover?Professional nails..?
If you paid to have your nails professionally applied, I'd put in the extra to have them professionally removed. The salon will know the product line that they used, so they will know the best kind of products for the easiest removal. The last thing you want to do is to put more pressure on your nail beds or damage your natural nails by prying off or ripping off the nails.Professional nails..?
acetone is what they use at the salon, nail polish remover will work, but it takes forever. use straight acetone in a glass bowl, soak your nails in it for a half hour, rub the disolved product off repeat.
Yea you can use acetone nail polish remover. Just soak them in that for a while and they will be easier to get off. But i really do recomend going to a salon to get them off, because they will do a better job and give you a manicure after they are off wich you will definately need!
if they are fake use that stuff in the nail place at walmart


if they are just polish use remover
non actone nail polish works but i dont like it because u have to use like two bottles and it smells bad and kinda gives ur mouth a bad taste. you might be able to buy stuff at walmart, acctually i know you can! lol





umm... also some salons can remove them for you, its really werid, they just pop them off with these tools, its totally painless and doesent ruin ur nails, i dont know if they charge though, mine doesent but that depends!!


usually i just rip mine off, and it doesent hurt or ruin the nail.
Nail polish remover will eventually work, but you could use pure acetone (available from most any hardware store) for must faster results.


Just pour about an inch in to a small glass bowl and soak your nails until they become soft and dissolve.


Use a good moisturizer afterwards though - acetone is pretty strong and will dry out your skin!
Yes you can soak them in acetone- or nail polish remover.





you have to soak them for like 45 minutes





its pretty bad for your nails though, but then again so is acrylics(professional nails) i hope i helped!

Whats Better Stick On Nails Or Professional Nails ?

Hello I Want some Fake Nails And I Dont No weather To Get them Done In a Shop Or buy Stick On Nails ? xWhats Better Stick On Nails Or Professional Nails ?
professional stay on longer and look more fitted and nice


but if you buy them they are cheaper and won't leave dents in your nailWhats Better Stick On Nails Or Professional Nails ?
I would have them done professionally because with fake nails they do not allow air to get to your real nails and then cause a fungus, I know, sadly it happened to me. Plus, the professional nails do not just drop off as the others would
stick on nails never stay on!! go to a salon and get gel nails they are natural looking and more flexible! if you want designs or color to your gel nails ask the salon if they have a minx nail artist?
ive had both id say get acrylic nails theyre amazing i love them nd miss em too much








http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
I think professional nails are better because they stay on for longer and they are stronger than stick-ons because they use stronger glue.
Go to the nail salon, they stay on longer and aren't as brittle! You will be far happier with professional ones.
i would say professional because less likely chance to break off but stick on if you want something cheaper.

What kind of nail glue do professionals use?

i wanted to get my nails done but was thinking it would be cheaper just to get the glue and nails but has to be the kind that actually stays on anyone know what its called and where i can get it? the only place near here is Sallys Beauty SalanWhat kind of nail glue do professionals use?
none of them actually stay on for long. usually no more than a day, sometimes a few days. Professionals use acrylic which makes them stay on extremely well....they only use nail glue to put the ';fake'; nail on the top of your real nail...and then they put acrylic over the entire nail. These nails typically stay on for about a month. Its worth it to get them done at the salon.What kind of nail glue do professionals use?
liquid nails is the best, most builders use this for an extra strength adhesive for construction work..............oh hang on.......wrong nails

How to take off professional nails off?

i got my nails done and i'm trying to take them off i don't hasve nail polish remover i was wondering if there was another wayHow to take off professional nails off?
There is no other HEALTHY way to remove acrylic (assuming that's what you have). Many people just crack and then peel them off but this can take several layers of your natural nail off as well, leaving your natural nail beds tender and sensitive, not to mention ugly! I recommend you buy a bottle of pure acetone, not just nail polish acetone remover. Pure acetone is the safest way to remove acrylic or fiberglass nails. Soak them for a while in a small bowl of the acetone and then file with a coarse buffer or scrape them with an 'wooden orange stick.' Keep on repeating this until the additions are all melted off.


If you don't have the time to sit and soak, you can just use a very coarse file and file them down to your natural nail. The drawback with this is that your fingertips may be a bit sore later from all the sawing back and forth motion. You might also file a few layers of your natural nail off.


Whatever you do don't CHIP them off them off in pieces!How to take off professional nails off?
The best and safest way to remove acrylic or any other type of nail enhancement is to have them soaked off. It's not good to have them clipped or ripped off. If a salon tries to do that run out the door! The proper way is to soak them in acetone. It takes longer but is better for your nails. If you don't want to sit there with your fingers in a bowl of acetone try this trick. Completely wet 10 pieces of cotton with acetone. Place one cotton on each fingernail. Put on gloves. Go about your business...checking on them every 20 minutes or so. When the acrylic starts to soften or come off you can help it by buffing gently. Hope this helps
other than to rip them off, no way that I know of. Cut the ends off and let them grow out till they get loose? or just get some nail varnish remoover, or go to a nail place and get them removed
my mom is a nail tech....cut them as short as possible, then soak them in acetone, you can get it at a beauty supply store or walgreens...DONT RIP THEM OFF!!!!!! it will tear up your natural nails. when they are off, put a clear coat on your nails to prevent further damage. they will be very, very weak and will take a few weeks to be 'normal' again.
you need to soak them in acitone nail poilish remover. most nail polish remover is non acitone. do not rip them off it will rip your nail beds!!!!
I would highly recommend going back to the salon and have them soak them off. Believe me , I know. I still have some acrylic left on my nails after months of trying to soak them off myself. They use 100% real acetone and it really dissolves it compeltly. Regular nail polish remover is no where near strong enough to take them off. Plus, it'll take you forever and you'll probably have to file them off at the same time. The only other option is to just rip them off ,but you'll probably rip up part of your nailbed too. Just pay 20 bucks and have the professionals do it. They'll have them off in no time and with less damage to your natural nail.

Anyone know how to get the professional acyrlic nails off without ruining real nails (at home)?

Hi There!


Having had them on (and off) for many years of my life, I've learned how to do it at home.





All you need to do is go to a local store and get some acetone. Fill a bowl, and soak your nails in it for as long as it takes - sometimes up to 45 minutes. They will start to look like gel and feel soft. You can roll the acrylic off with your other hand and then use a nail file to finish the job.





Hope this helps!Anyone know how to get the professional acyrlic nails off without ruining real nails (at home)?
Go to the drugstore down the nail polish aisle they have little plastic jars of stuff to take it off, you have to soak your nails in it, basically it is acetone nail polish remover. It is much easier than pulling them off they way they do at the salon.Anyone know how to get the professional acyrlic nails off without ruining real nails (at home)?
Well there aren't really any ways to get them off without ruining your real nails (they already are ruined...but not forever). But what I do when I used to wear them is soak them in nail polish remover - then after about 10 minutes, they'll come right off. Your real nails will still be rough since they filed the entire nail when they first put on the acryllic. Then just let your nails grow out and they will be back to the smooth surface again. Hope this helps!
before putting on nails anykind put on some stuff from walmart its like a clear base nailpolish and you put it on before and it makes it a LOT easier to take it off !!! and also try soaking your nails in hot water with alchohol and it wont damage ur nails too badly hope it helps -helen-

Does it hurt when you get fake nails by a professional.?

It doesn't hurt to get them put on but they use acrylic which is the same chemical that they use to clean floors in stores and other industrial buildings. so it isn't very good for your nails but it's super cute!Does it hurt when you get fake nails by a professional.?
no it doesn't hurt..


but the fumes are horrible..and not worth inhaling..


also..your own natural nails get ruined..


natural buffed or painted are much better looking.Does it hurt when you get fake nails by a professional.?
no it does not its fun and pretty
no but taking them off will be a pain and they ruin your real nails.
no it doesnt hurt at all...... sometimes when the skin on your nails is high up and they push it down and it kinda stingd.... but thats nuthing..... its fine!

The sally hansens fake nail remover is a life (nail) saver...I just used it today


Takes about 15 minutes





costs about $6-$7 at walgreens





I found that one jar works 2-3 times before it gets goopy though....well worth it!
Sally's Beauty Supply sells fake nail remover. I saw it yesterday when I went to buy my nail polish thinner. Love that store.
gosh it may be painfull. . .soak your fingers in warm water first before anything. . .then (and this is what they do) take nail clippers to grab a corner and lift. . .if it starts to hurt dip in HOT water and keep going. . .this is what my friends did and they were quite happy with it, but i wouldnt dare!

Is french-manicured nails professional?

my friend did them for me and i think that they are neat in appearance.





i just found out that i have an interview to be an intern in a research lab this week, but my nails just got done.





i personally don't like the way long, unpainted nails look so i'd like to keep the polish on but if they're unprofessional i have no qualms about taking it off...





any opinions? i'd appreciate it if professional ppl who know about interview etiquette could answer





thanks!Is french-manicured nails professional?
French manicured nails do look professional, and quite neat, UNLESS they are too long!





I would think this might be especially true in a lab setting.





Nails which are too long simply do not look professional, especially for an interview. Neither do nails which are overly bright or painted in 'cute' designs.





The white tips of french polished nails look neat and tidy and as long as they are trim and fresh you should not need to take it off.





If they are longer than a few centimetres above the tops of your fingers, however, they will not look professional.





Good luck in your interview :-)Is french-manicured nails professional?
I'd be more concerned that the nails are getting in the way of you doing your labwork safely. I think they are professional, but may not be the best idea depending on what kind of lab you're in.
If they are not too long, and are neat and look nice, it is fine.





I was a supervisor and suffered through countless interviews.....





turnoffs: being late


One lady was smacking gum through the interview.


One lady said SH@T twice...while it was funny, not good.


Bad mouthing former employer (even if it is true)


Being willing to leave your current job without giving two weeks (shows lack of loyalty)





On the application....FILL IT OUT...don't put see resume...ticks people off and already shows you're lazy and don't do as you're asked!





GOOD LUCK!
Yes, definitely. More so than purple, blue or dark red colors.
A French Manicure is perfect for Professional Situations, as well as Formal Events.. so your French Manicure should be okay for your interview.





On another note, when you're being interviewed.. it's common for people (the person doing the interview) to pick up things about the intervee, by the way they dress, carry themselves, speak.. etc..





I've never worked in a lab... but if long nails aren't appropriate for a Lab sort of environment.. which is what I would guess.. then I would make sure your nails are short for the interview.. (and they can still be painted with the French Manicure).. or just cut all the way back.





There are some positions long nails are not appropriate in.. Child care, Teaching, Medical Fields, Secretarial, Office Jobs, and I can go on.. and I'm going to guess Lab would fall in there too..





So if you don't want to send the wrong message.. it's possible you can go to the interview, dress fine, .. but little things like your nails.. if their too long.. could tell the employer that you're not meant for the job.





Believe me.. little things like that.. count.. and half the time it's subconscious in the employers mind.. but it's there..





So think about the length of your nails.. other than that.. a French Manicure is fine.. and it looks good on short nails as well as Long nails..
absolutely. they show that you take pride in yourself. the only acception is, if you're going for an interview in a restaurant, or someplace where you'll be cooking, don't wear nailpolish

Do you take you cat to a professional to get his or her nails cut or do you try to cut them yourself?

You can take your cat to a groomer or vet but if you're up to it there is no reason not to do it yourself. (of course your cat may think otherwise but it's always worth a try)





To trim the nails place your cat in your lap or on the floor between your legs. Press on the pad of its paw with your fingers to make the claws come forward. The main part of the claw includes the pinkish-colored area, which contains nerves. Do not cut this part. The white tip (just past the pinkish area) is the dead tissue, which can be cut. Simply take the nail trimmer and cut this white tip off.Do you take you cat to a professional to get his or her nails cut or do you try to cut them yourself?
We cut our cats' nails ourselves. We have two of them. One person holds the cat with one arm, and holds a bag of catnip in front of their nose with the other hand. They just go in a trance and the second person starts cutting the nails. It's done in no time.Do you take you cat to a professional to get his or her nails cut or do you try to cut them yourself?
You can do it yourself. I put my in a towel and hold them and i have my boyfriend cuts them. If you do them yourself just becareful and don't cut them down to the quick. Thats where the pink part starts.
I take mine (Turkish Angora) to the groomer to have ANYTHING done. He will NOT allow me to do anything to him except spoil him rotten. You've got to be really careful in nail clipping because there's a vein that runs through the nail, and if you cut that, you're going to have blood all over, and maybe even a trip to the vet to stop the bleeding. Believe me, a groomer is a WHOLE LOT cheaper than a ';repair job'; at the vet. A groomer usually only charges about $10 to $15 for a nail clipping, some do it for less. Plus, there's a lot less wear and tear on YOU and your cat. They're always ';good'; for somebody else.
It is relatively easy to trim a cat's nails. I trim all of my own cat's nails, except for one. She has to be lightly sedated by the vet so they can be trimmed. But she is certainly not the ';norm.';





If you start when a cat is a kitten, it is easier to get the cat to cooperate. Start out by trimming only one or two nails with lots of praise and a treat. This also work's with older cats as well. Patience is the key.





Make sure not to cut too close. Cut where the nail ';hooks'; or ';humps'; over.





Good luck!
I do my cats myself, it's not hard and then after I give them a treat.
I do it myself. I got them as kittens so I just started doing it right away to get them used to it. Neither enjoys the process but they submit. I always give them a treat afterwards too.





One tip I learned is not to pull the cats leg away from it's body. Keep it as close to them as possible.
I do all our cat's nails twice a month. Right after doing mine. They ALL know the sound of the fingernail clippers and some will run at first, but I talk them through it and it's not much of a problem.
I started cutting my cat's nails when he was a kitten. He wasn't too keen at first but got more comfortable and doesn't seem to mind now.





Like others said, you have to be careful not to cut them too short or it will hurt your cat. I accidentally cut one of my cat's nails too short *once* and he still flinches a little when I get to that one. It feels awful to know that I hurt him :\
I have two cats. I do the one myself becasue he will let me trim his nails and bathe him. The other one I have to take somewhere to get everything done because I have been scratched and bit so many times I just gave up
i cut them myself, just go to like a target or walmart or whatever you have and go to the cat/dog section, they have toe nail clippers for pets, real easy. and a lot cheaper

Keeping nails professional-looking?

Due to my career, I need to keep my fingernails trimmed and filed super short. I still want to put polish on them, though. Which colors I could I put on short nails and keep them professional-looking? There's always the clear gloss option, but that's boring. Can someone still project a professional image with red or pink short nails, or should I keep them clear?Keeping nails professional-looking?
French is always way to go but it depends on ur career too because sometimes they look at the nails clar is nice and also white try light colorsKeeping nails professional-looking?
Clear or french.





There are things you can do to make those more interesting while still being safely understated. If you go to a nail salon, you could have them airbrush a subtle design in white (better with french) or a small gem on one of your nails.





Tips give them a cleaner look, but keep them short and square.
