    I would have picked picture 1, but the sovereigns and the tacky nail piercing put me off. I like the glitter one. But to be honest, I like plain nails with little jewels or motifs on them (as long as they aren't too garish). I've known guys to dig hands like that. (ha ha! You can't please me, eh?)

    to be honest, I think they all are exremely tacky, but that's just my opinion and it doesn't mean they are.

    Why don't you just grow your nails? You have less to worry about when they break or snap and you don't have to deal with that awful glue. A nail tip whitening pencil makes a big difference with a few coats of clear nail polish. And try and keep your nails square (not rounded) because they are stronger that way.

    I think a french manicure or red polish is usually the way to go, at least for me.

    Geez Ca$h, I understand what you mean. When I used to work in a nightclub, my nails thinned and they were very weak. I don't know if you've tried all things, but I just kept cutting my nails to just below the tips of my fingers to help strengthen them. When I decided to grow them pretty, I'd periodically clip them straight across with a nail clipper (not scissors). I very RARELY file mine because that weakens the nails as well. Then I paint. I love Sally Hansen, she has very good nail strengthener polishes.

    I cannot recommend any supplements because I don't take any for nails specifically, but I do take multivitamins so maybe that helps me too.

    It's just that personally, false nails are a pain, especially when I choose to wear contact lenses. Therefore I try to keep them natural and I experiment with them that way.

    I too get fake nails becuase I bite my nails and i think it makes me looks less lady like. When I'm paying to get my nails done I can't help but want something alittle different. I think french manicures are great and very classic. I've opted for a colored tip french manicure at the moment where instead of white tips I choose a different color. As long as you pick a good color it looks great.

    Another option - my friend hates french manicures so she gets an american manicure and has the salon use a nail polish called cotton candy. Most salons have it. It's almost like clear basic polish but it's pink tinted. It's a great color I use it all the time.

    Hope this helps.

    Any nails that glow. I like how they look when the dancer runs her hands over her body and I also like glowing toe nails.

    Anyway, I like picture #1.

    The magic formula that works for me: french manicure with short natural nails, ruby red toes. Super Duper Ladylike.

    This is on topic but off topic at the same time.

    It is about nails - natural nails yet not in re: the original post. I'm just wondering what tips, advice, etc anyone can give me in helping me strengthen my nails.

    I don't do fake nails.

    I've gone thru this thread and read about keeping them square, short and using Sally Hensen (is it?) nail strengthening .... anything else that will help me out ?

    Another vote for too tacky. I prefer mine shorter and with a French manicure or red polish. If you want glitz, maybe get the UV topcoat which makes the french manicure glow under black lights. I have had any number of compliments from customers on that.

    I like the nails in the second picture the best, but I would get them shorter. The nails in the first picture would be okay, but I don't like the charm. I think it looks tacky.

    I'm with GoldCoastGirl; I don't wear fake nails either. I don't think it hurts my money. The few times I have worn fake nails, I thought they were more of a pain than they were worth. I just try to keep my nails looking nice by keeping them clean, filed, and polished.

    I'd go for the french manicure.i think it makes your nails stand out a little more without being overkill.im sure there are many guys that notice them,and probably have a thing for them and clear ones might just be a bit dull.

    I like pic. 2. I think they may be too long for my taste. I used to wear polish and longer nails. Got too damn lazy i guess.

    So i have just natural nothing fancy nails.

    Here is what they look like now, sometimes a tad longer.

    CASH don't you live in the NYC area? If you do then they do this really nice nail technique called "Pink and White". It is basically a permanent french manicure and I usually get mine really short so that it looks real. I get alot of compliments when I have them on.
