I have always had a problem with my nails. Whether it be biting them or having the willpower to grow them out and they break. Sometimes I dream I had prefect manicured nails, especially when I was working as a bank teller, so I started experimenting with different artificially options. I have tried getting acrylic nails done at the salon and going to the drug store/walmart for glue-on nails. They both have pros and cons
Salon nails
Pros
- relaxing application
- last up to 3 weeks and can get filled to last longer
Cons
-hard to get off
-weaken the nails
-expensive to keep up
Drugstore nails
Pros
-less expensive
-easy and quick to apply
-minor buffing to nail
-easy to remove
-come with extra nails to apply if one falls off or breaks
Cons
-break easily
-look less natural
Overall, when picking fake nails you have to look at the length of time you want them to last. If you are looking for a long term nail solution or getting them done for an event over a week away, I would go with salon nails. If you have an unexpected event or are on a tight budget, drugstore nails are a great solution.
One brand I would recommend from my local drugstore (Shoppers Drug Mart) is Nailene Designer Collection.
This set includes glue, buffer (nail file) and a manicure stick.
Let me know if you have any other nail brands you have used from the drug store in the comments below.
Enjoy!
