Exactly! My nails are DESTROYED from wearing that nasty shit for so long. I had the acrylic taken off after having it for a good 15 years.

I ain't never seen a supermodel with those tacky ass nails.

Oh - excuse me. Did I somehow stumble into supermodel.org?

No I'm just saying....supermodels don't go around wearing those things. If I could show you what my nails look like right now, ugh! I wish I would've never done it.

So...we should all do what supermodels do? Like a bunch of barely post-pubescent genetic freaks are the arbiters of what is tasteful?

The reason they don't have their nails done is because they are the carriers of other peoples' visions of beauty - not their own. When was the last time you saw a chameleon with painted nails?

January is the worst time of the year for my nails. Dry much? Seems like everytime I glance down I've chipped or broken another nail.

i hate when that happens.

For those of you who opt for acrylic nails, why not fiberglass? It's much lighter and, speaking from experience, it doesn't eat away at your natural nail quite as fast as acrylic.

Everything I've read about fiberglass nails suggests that they're a lot more expensive - and a lot more fragile.

i always wanted to try that gorilla glue

My point is that they are TACKY! And they are. And that's that.

Well, it's a good thing that no one's forcing you to wear them, isn't it; as I am certain you are simply the most chic person here.

And you know that when Kate Moss snorted heroin off a toilet tank at the club, she did it in the classiest (ie, least tacky) way possible.

But it took her 15 years to come to that conclusion.

Since she no longer likes them, they're suddenly tacky.

What the hell is going on?...

I'm sure that, 15 years from now, all the people who are sportin' Snuggies™ now will think they're tacky, too.

As RubyButterfly says, Broadway Nails are good. I would say this is your best bet if you want a quick fix solution that won't trash your own nails.

They're really easy to apply, as long as you make sure you get them shaped-up right before you stick them on. Maybe get a friend to help you apply them?

I'd do them for you if I lived closer

typo edit

[Edited 1/26/11 7:56am]

OK, maybe I'll try that route. The fakes I've done myself in the past were tips...which required alot of fileing and smoothing and buffing. oh how I wish you lived closer! hey..what's the best way to repair breaks to natural nails?

Break as in a split on the free edge? Personally i'd just file 'em all down.

Yeah, I think the really long ones are totally tacky too. But hey, the ones we call "tacky" are usually trying to attract and look good to other similar styled people, not us "boring" people...so it all works out, right?

on the side...ya know..you're nails start getting long and you get a crack like way down low on the side...if I cut it or file it it will hurt it's so low down. want to fix it till it grows out a bit.

I know of what you speak. It's the worst pain and you pray the crack won't go any further. You pray your nail can hold on till it grows out and you can cut it.

When that has happened...I apply nail glue...and a band-aid.

Yeah, I finally grew up and said "What a waste of money and they're destroying my nails". Like I've already said, I'm not stopping anyone from wearing them.

I'm wearing a bandaid on my finger as I type for this very reason.

I was peeling potatoes last night, the peeler slipped and cut my nail so that the cut runs into the nail bed. It's low to. It's going to take a long time to grow out.
