This was just a bit of a general interest thread really. What do you girlies (or boys for that matter) do with your finger nails?
Do you have regular manicures? Spend ages painting them pretty colours or adorning them with nail art? Do you have false ones done at the beauticians or buy DIY false nail kits? Or do you just bite them and thats about it?
Me personally don't really bother with my nails :-/. I don't bite them, so they're of a reasonable length. I never bother to paint them because it seems like so much effort when the varnish just seems to chip off by the next day anyway.
I had false ones done once for my prom and they really annoyed me, I couldn't pick stuff up or open cans or silly things like that, and afterwards when they came off my nails were so disgusting and in bad condition! But my friend has false ones all the time and she loves them.
Sooo. What do you do?

Umm...just to hijack your thread a bit...I've just had some acrylic nail extensions put on today (not my choice at all but it was for a good cause) and i know nothing about them as i've never had them on before. They were done properly and dried with a UV lamp and everything but I was wondering...does anyone know how long they last?
they grow until they get in the way, then i cut them off.
I don't like the look of acrylic nails, they look too false.

Not allowed to have long nails, wear nail varnish or false nails for work, so I dont bother the rest of the time.
I have decided to grow them again because my hands look better with long nails, so I have tips to help them grow and eventually, I will have my nails but with the hardner on them. So yeah.
Mine at the moment are quite long for me. I tend to get fed up of them when they strart to make typing annoying. But I'm trying hard to keep them long cos they look better. Do tend to keep them painted in fairly neutral colours or french manicured when I get round to it.
Now, I do tend to bite them, (that's only when I get nervous/bored). Rest of the time, I'd either paint them a dark colour, like a black cherry or when I can be bothered I'd buff them up myself, though that rarely happens.
Always wanted to get another manicure done professionally, just to neatin them up, etc. But never get round to it.
I paint them my self or when i have time have them manicured at the local beauty salon. at the moment they're pink with dark pink dimonte's in the bottom corner (which are comming off :crying: lol)
