Yes its possible, my nails dont grow..i mean im sure they do, just it takes about 5 years to get the growth most people experience in 3 weeks. ive never cut them in my life, and they are short. I think its because of my hypothyroidism, but anyway. If i get fake nails put on how long will they last, considering my circumstances. I am just going with a friend, and i dont plan on going back regularly to get fill-ins or anything, so will it be okay to just get them, or do they look weird if you dont go back every few weeks?

  1. I think they look really good, but the only down side is that it is expensive to upkeep.  You will have to get them filled every 2 weeks (or less), and that gets pretty costly.

    And they only really look good if they were newly done.  Once your nails start growing out it looks bad, that's why you'll always need to keep filling them.  Plus if you ever decide to take them off, it will leave this hideous ridge/bump thing on each of your nails, and if your nails don't really grow all that well then I would imagine that you will have the ridge on your nails for quite some time.


  2. I think you should get them but whats the piont of getting them if your not gonna get fill ins? and yes they start to look weird after a couple weeks without the fill ins

  3. Fake nails are like all things fake.  I think I'd get fake nails and b*****s when men start p***s enlargement surgery.

  4. The glue they put on recks your nail cuz its strong glue.

    go to shoppers and but the package..its really good ! and its only 10 bucks. and the glue isnt that strong so it wont reck your nails as much as the salon ones :)


  5. Fake nails you buy at walmart maybe last up to a week and look cheap. I suggest getting acrylics or something at a salon, and they'll last a lot longer. and if your nails grow as slow as you say they do, you probably won't even need fill-ins!  

  6. Yes you should get fake nails but they are hard to get things if you have tiny fake nails those are ok.

  7. yes, it will look very weird if you don't go back every few weeks. sometime they break or pop off. when it pops off it hurts really bad! i had it done a couple of times when i was younger i don't care for it, too much maintenance. have you ever tried putting base coat on your nails everyday it'll make them grow with in a few weeks. drink lots of milk or other stuff that is good for bones.

  8. i agree with parkers mom!!

  9. no dont get them.

    espessically if your in school

    its so hard to type and write.

  10. Definetley my sister has fake nails cause' her real nails dont grow but her real nails under her fake nails are all nasty and dead and have nail fungus so NO! i let my real nails grow and they look nice you know get some manicure and pedicure and its all good for me the reason your nails dont grow is because you probaly bite them or its just ur genetics

  11. Fake nails are pretty, but they really hurt if you hit them on something.  They do look funny if you don't go back and get the fill ins, but if your nails grow slow you shouldn't have that problem.

  12. they really dont fall off so dont worry about that just sometimes wen u take nails off your nails look sorta strange but with in a couple days they look alright again. :-) I am getting mine done today!

  13. I wouldn't...because then you have to keep on going to get them filled and it's so annoying.  I would just get this stuff http://www.duri.com/rejuvacote.htm it seriously makes your nails grow.  I had really bad nails because I got my acrylic nails taken off and it made mine grow.  I always had teeny nails that didn't grow...but this stuff really works.  It makes them so strong that you would really think you have acrylic on, but you don't.  Trust me, it works!

  14. generally you back for fill because of your re growth, but if your nails dont grow then that wont be a problem.  but nails do start to crack, depending on how you treat them. and you'll have to go back if you break one or that would look ugly. but usually depending on the person and there nail bids they can last up to a month. nail bitters have to go every week. but if you dont pick at them or break them and your nails grown slow then you can go up to a month maybe if your lucky then more,

  15. Well Drink More milk If U Want Your Nails To Grow Naturally.

    But Anyways Fake Nails Are Really CUTE...But They Only Last For Like 2 Weeks And they look Tacky When Your Missing A Couple So I Suggest Going Back On A Basis.

  16. well you can get fake nails. my advice is to never get fake nails from a drug store because they don't stay very long. get fake nails from a salon. it might be a bit expensive but they last longer than fake nails you will find at the drug store.

  17. yes you should. i have a bad habit of biting my nails so i always get my nails done professionally at the nail salon and they grow like CRAZY

  18. return each week

  19. Start taking prenatal vitamins. Your nails should start to really grow then! If you want fake nails, they will thin them out so when they do grow will more than likely break. They say to go every two weeks for a fill which can get expensive, but if your dont grow, I wouldn't worry.  

  20. fake nails usually look for about two weeks. you may need a fill every two or three weeks. but when you get fake nails you damage your natural nails even more, snice they will filed and then your nails will be thinner and brittle. try taking vitamins and calcium. this will help

  21. with acrylic nails...you need maintenance every couple of weeks.  why not have a gel paint french manicure?  even with short nails...they can paint the white bit thick & that will give the appearance of longer nails...that is what i have.  i go every 4 weeks to be re-done.  gel paint is brilliant!

  22. they fall off. so i suggest going back every few weeks
