ya guys can't tell unless your acrylics are really long/fake looking. Mine are acrylic (have been for 4 years) because my real nails are very weak. I had them in regular jobs. They are still short but always french or fresh polish and I've only had one or two guys ever ask if they are real. Lots of girls ask if they are real so obviously something women notice more. I think the chicks can tell because real nails just couldn't look this good.
I honestly don't think it matters either way, as long as they look nice. I was doing the fake nails, but they just bother me. I can't seem to stop myself from picking at them and when one messes up, I have to take them all off and redo them. Its just easier for me to give myself a manicure. Most guys don't even notice your nails anyway, especially if you are half naked in front of them lol. Those that have looked at my nails always ask if they are real or fake, so they can't tell the difference anyway.



I don't think guys care that much as long as your nails aren't chipped. I have acrylics just because its easier for me to maintain them. My husband, however, loves the fake nails so he's a very happy man.
I say acrylic even though I hate them.
I say it because they just last longer and don't chip as often as a traditional manicure.
They keep that "neat, maintained, well groomed" look even if you're a week late for a fill.
With a manicure, if you're a day late - it shows.
But again - I hate fake nails. LOOVE the way they look but I hate having them on my fingers.

Personally I love my fake nails because they prevent me from biting my real nails. Their worth it and my boyfriend loves them when I scratch his back. A French manicure comes off within days. As long as the nails look clean and not like dirty. The only opinion a customer can make from examining a girl’s nails is that she likes to take care of her appearances & be pamper.





I love my acrylics. I think they just look sexier and they hold polish way longer than a manicure.
That said, I agree that guys don't really care as long as your nails look nice. I spend a lot on my pedicures, manicures and getting designs, but that's really just to make me feel prettier and sexier, which does show to guys.





when i dance i get acrylics. they look better imo, and even though it may be all in my head, i believe it helps attract the big money men.




I've had lots of guys notice my nails. I have self manicured, real, hard, long nails. I am constantly told how much they like them better than fake nails. They are harder to keep up, but i wouldn't trade them for fakes.



I prefer natural nails. Mine are not weak and they hold polish very well. Rock Whatcha Got, I say.




i prefer natral nails, i get asked by guys and girls all the time if they are real coz i let them grow pretty long and keep them in good condition, even when i was at school girls used to ask me if they were real, an some dont belive me wen i say they are.
i do like the look of acrylics but im too scared to hav them done incase they ruin my natral nail, my mum used to have hers done alot and her natral nails are really badly brittle and dont look healthy at all.
i dont think it really matters to a guy if you have acrylics or natral, so long as they are clean and look good.

I think acrylic nails are pretty but they hurt like hell when they're taken off!
I think guys prefer acrylics. That said, I don't think its worth the hassle and expense. I got my nails done for years and all I can say was, it was a pain in the a$$.
I prefer to keep my own nails manicured and I take Biotin to make them strong. I can grow them about as long as the gel tips I paid $40 for, with the Biotin and they require no work. I also usually keep a clear coat of polish on them to help protect them.

I think either is fine as long as they r in decent shape!




I don't think it makes a difference as long as they're clean and nice looking. I wear acrylics (glitter tip - my nail tech is ace!) and have done for over a year. Ive had them soaked off a couple of times to give my real nails a breather ans theyre as strong as they were before, its all down to having a nail technician who will take care of your hands and nails, i used to go to a different place and that girl butchered my hands, i used to go home with bleeding cuticles she was so rough
I like my nails coz they look neat/tidy and i think my hands look really stubby without nails but its a personal choice.
''I love fake boobs''
''They're not fake! I grew them myself!''



My BF doesn't seem to care either way, so long as they're not dirty underneath. He's really crazy about dirty nails and outgrown cuticles since he works at a nail salon. :/
I LOVED LOVED LOVED having gel nails--better for you than acrylic, and slightly more expensive. But I play violin, and you simply cannot play properly when you have long nails. I've played since I was 7 and always wanted long nails and could never have them. So the first thing I did when I started stripping was get fake nails. But they were a bit of a pain in the ass, and I hated how unreliable the people in the salon were when it took to getting them filled. One guy would do a great job, and the rest were fucking terrible. So I haven't had fake nails in quite awhile now--maybe even a year, but I'm not sure. I love having just my regular nails now.





i prefer acrylics even though i always manage to break them off somehow otherwise i keep getting hangnails and have to buffer and reapply polish every two minutes
I wear my natural nails. I think that maintaining them once a week is key. I go to the nail salon every two weeks. On the weeks in between my appointments, I use my at-home manicure kit. I got it at Sally's Beauty Supply.



i prefer my real nails now. Better quality men notice them too. I keep them manicured nicely myself.
