I HAVE A SECRET I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU!camchicks $
Hi everyone I'm a very frugal person so I thought I would share with you a money saving tip to help you along the year if you get your nails done for camming.so here goes!!! I went to the nail shop and before I left home I wondered how come when I don't have my nails done my natural nails do not grow as fast as they do until I get a full set??? Hmmmm I said it has to be because they cut the cuticle on the nail that is what's making them grow so freakin fast.I told the nail tech not to cut my cuticle this time and they swore me up and down that my nails would not look right (lies) so I had them on for not 2 weeks before needing a fill in but guess how long???? A full month and one week before it was time for a new fill in!! So you could possibly get your nails did only 12 to 14 times a year instead of 24 to 27 times a year! I hope this helps you in anyway unless your nails grow like really fast then probably not...but I tried it first before I made this thread! #sorry nails tech I may have exposed your secret to keeps us coming back so often.

Some of us are genetically 'cursed' with long nails. Doesn't matter what we do. I don't cut my own cuticles very often but they still grow like weeds because my mother has long, strong, nails. I just paint, keep them neat, and ignore them. Occasionally I'll get them down if I'm up for a pedi but I don't allow anymore glue/falsies on my nails as they make them weak and brittle when it's time to come off.

Your cuticle is covering part of your nail. If you don't take care of your cuticles and push them down, your nail will look smaller, therefor making it look like you don't need a fill. Your cuticle doesn't have much to do with how fast your nails grow. It's just creating an illusion.
Re: I HAVE A SECRET I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU!camchicks $
If I'm not mistaken, cuticles have nothing to do with how fast the nails grow, they just make your nails seem longer when they're cut or pushed back. Sorta like how there was that myth that hair and nails continue to grow for a short time after death, it's only because your body dehydrates and the cuticles and skin shrink back from the hair and nails, thus giving the illusion that they're still growing.
Edited to add: yup, pretty much what Octavia said lol I was typing this as she was posting.

Oh okay cool! That illusion really works for me when I do go to the nail shop I have to pay for me and my teenage daughter so I'm always paying for 2 fill ins so its 30 dollars a visit .and not just myself.Some weeks I can afford it and sometimes I cannot just depends on if I have bills that week my fill in is due! I try to keep my nails done as part of my cam persona.So I'm always looking for ways to save on hair clothes nails etc.
Re: I HAVE A SECRET I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU!camchicks $
If you have healthy nails doesn't matter what you do wear fake ones or natural ones your nails will grow fast.
Re: I HAVE A SECRET I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU!camchicks $
Be careful about going too long between fills--I actually like a bit of grow-out (and I'm a cheapskate) so one time I went about that long without getting a fill. That's also the only time I got a nail infection, probably because the acrylic (or whatever you get) lifts a bit after a while and allows water and bacteria underneath. Trust me, it's no fun taking off your polish after a month and seeing a big black spot on your nail.
Re: I HAVE A SECRET I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU!camchicks $
I just fill mine myself. it's relatively inexpensive and easy to do once you have the hang of it. during the summer I rock really long stiletto or coffin nails, but I also garden. Learning how to fill and fix my own nails has been a life saver and saved me massive $.
