Ok.... I think I'm finally at the point where I'm tired of being the only chick in my club without purrrrrty nails. I've bitten mine to death since I was 5.... I do it out of habit, out of boredom, nervousness, and really can't let them grow long because they need to fit in my moto-gloves...
However, they're ugly as sin. cuticle is always fucked up, something bleeds on a weekly basis from being bitten too short, nothing is the exactly the same length... (well, other than being extremely short)... yeah. So... what do I do??? I'd like to start taking care of them at home rather than paying shitloads to get my nails done, although I know that'll happen eventually, but what are some basic nail-care suggestions?? Should I be using one of those filey-thingees or a clipper? Do you recommend any specific brand of polish?? what the fuck is "lacquer??" what's a gel fill?? I'm SoooooOooOoo lost on the nail front.
WHat I'd like to end up with eventually- pretty, subtlely 'done' nails, both hand and toe, short enough to work with and not distract while I'm dancing, but still really pretty. How do I get there???? (and are fake nails a good idea to stop the biting??? do they work/fall off/how long do they last??) Thank you soooo much for bearing with me here... I've seen many threads on one nail-related technique/product vs. another, but y'all are all in advanced classes, and this reject wants to look more like a class act.![]()
