Can I learn anything about my health from the fact that
-the white of my eyes are -extremely- white
-my hair and nails grow at a much faster rate then anyone I know and are much thicker, stronger and shinier as well?
I don’t think you have anything to worry about. I don’t know much about your eyes, but thick nails and shiny hair are fantastic traits!
I am considering getting a very thin gel overlay put on my nails.
I do not want fake nails because my natural nails are long enough and strong enough by themselves but I simply hate quickly my nailpolish chips and nailpolish will stay on much better if I get a gel overlay put on.
Now, the main reason that I hate fake nails is because I’ve always had acrylics and you can’t cut them, you have to file them down. I’m too busy to sit down and do this as often as is needed to keep my nails a decent length (I work on computers all day so when they’re too long it drives me mental)
So, my question is can you cut nails with gel overlays or do you have to file them back like you do with acrylics? This might sound like a silly question but I’ve never had gel nails before so I have no idea.
Please only answer if you’ve had gel nails, know someone with them or are a beautician. Guessing won’t help, unfortunately, because I want to be sure before I spend any money on getting them done.
I get my nailpolish done at the salon and the most I get out of it is 4 days before it starts to chip. Doing it myself with similar products and the best quality polishes it’s a top of 2 days, usually, so this isn’t the issue but thanks for the advice on the gel nails.
Neither gel nails, or acrylic nails should ever be ‘cut’ down. To shorten either one, you need to file them. The thickness doesn’t matter. If you were to ‘cut’ them, the nail enhancement will almost certainly crack, or split.
Gel nails are non-porous and do not readily absorb liquids.Conversely, acrylic nails are porous, and will readily absorb liquids of any type. That is the reason that polish will always last longer on acrylic nails, Basecoat, or no basecoat – nail polish will stay chip-free longer on acrylic nails. Gel nails are, by their very nature, have a very non-absorbent surface and polish simply will not adhere well to them for any real length of time. Gel nails tend to have a more realistic look to them, and polish is not necessary. A UV gel topcoat, or sealer will give your nails a long lasting high gloss that doesn’t require polish to look good. If you really want to wear polish, acrylic nails are definitely the way to go since the polish will adhere much better to the surface of the nails. This results in less chipping of the polish for longer periods of time. The use of basecoat will help to a certain degree, but overall, gel nails are just not good candidates for nail polish.
I hope this helps!
What is the longest you have ever let your nails be and was it for a special occasion or just because you like to keep your nails long ?
Probably around 3/4" which is quite long (natural, I’ve never had store-bought nails). Both my pinkie fingernails had twisted nearly 90°, and typing was difficult (and also a large part of my job).
They got that long (and get close to it a couple of times a year or so) because I just let them grow. I don’t paint them (it just chips right back off) and only trim when one breaks and the length difference makes it hard to type. They are quite strong…I used to joke if my hair grew as fast and strong as my nails, I’d be Rapunzel (but alas, I’ve got great nails and pppphhhhtttt for hair). ☺
I am not talking so short that you cut the quick. As you trim a dogs nail down, the quick naturally recedes.
To keep a tidy appearance, and the illusion of a "tight" foot, show dogs often have much shorter nails than their pet counterparts.
Is it possible that a dog’s nails can get *too* short, where it would be detrimental to their performance?
No, I don’t think so. I use to own and show a doberman and his nails had to be nubs….I mean…just little nubs…it was hard to keep the nail that short and it wasn’t too short.
