Awe-Inspiring Short Nail Design 2013

Awe-Inspiring Short Nail Design 2013 - I had a manicure on the 20th and my manicurist used Negligee on my short, natural nails. This is absolutely lovely. Not Liquid Paper, artificial white, Not streaky. Not too frosty. A barely there opalescence that reminds me of Abalone. Subtle. Elegant. My nails looked beautiful so I HAD to buy it. I took it with me on a recent holiday and retouched it on the Sat after. I'm still wearing it. Even when it chips a bit its barely noticeable. $7 at Gene Juarez Salon and Spa.

I just have short natural nails now. There are a couple of people on here who have enhancements, hopefully they will chime in on your thread. I do know you should be aware of Methyl-Methacrylate (MMA) being used predominantly in cheaper salons(NSS: Non-Standard Salons); it's not FDA-approved and is illegal in most states to use as a nail product but it's widespread because it costs 90% less than the safer alternative ethyl-methacrylate (EMA).

I read that you will know MMA by it's unique and very strong odor (sharp and fruity), if nail technicians wear masks to protect themselves from the dangerous vapors, nail technicians using MMA will nearly always use a nail drill because MMA acrylic is too hard to file with a hand file, removing MMA acrylics is very difficult, requiring from 40-60 minutes of soaking in pure acetone to dissolve the nails, and salons using it can charge much less for their services. I have read guidelines to be cautious of any salon charging less than $30 for a full set, or less than $20 for a fill.

Another scam by NSS salons is to offer UV Gel nails at a higher price, while claiming that they are safer. BUT they will again, apply the same substandard acrylic, and no gel is used. Only a UV sealant to prevent the cheap acrylic from yellowing. Powder is NEVER ever used for UV Gel nails, so if they take a powder out, it's not gels--they are applying standard liquid and powder acrylics and charging you a higher price. There are also scams with "Solar Nails." If the bottle doesn't say it's Solar and from Creative Nail Design, then they are not really giving you "Solar Nails" but likely MMA pink & whites. Walk away.
