Is a weekly french manicure better for your natural nails than using acryllics?

If i want to maintain perfect nails which is bestIs a weekly french manicure better for your natural nails than using acryllics?
acryllic nail damages your nails, even the gel nails damages them. When they are eventually taken off your nails are very brittle and gross. Keep up with the manicure.Is a weekly french manicure better for your natural nails than using acryllics?
Absolutely, acrylics are all chemicals and from experience it took me 5 years to get my natural nails back to the healthy standards I had after using acrylic nails. Now I use Sally Hansen's Products or colourless iodine to strengthen and grow my nails.
Definitely a weekly manicure. If you already have nice nails do not ruin them with acrylics. Because when you decide you don't want acrylics anymore they are really going to be hard to get back to normal.
Yeah, Alot better..when you do French manicure, Your only putting polish on your tips...When you do Acrylics, Your putting Gel like stuff on your nails, which hardened, and when you take them it, It really wrecks your nails.
yeah its better for your nails

Is It Okay For Men To Have French Tips Put On Their Nails?

Im a 21 year old guy and want a french manicure with french tips put on. Is that odd?


I also want my toe nails nice and sexy as well!Is It Okay For Men To Have French Tips Put On Their Nails?
I'm a guy %26amp; I've had a french manicure in the past out of curiosity and a love for that look (seriously, some women with french nails look amazing! I actually get jealous). Well, despite the nail tech being a bit weirded out but pretty cool with it, she was very complimentary when finished as were most other people I saw over the next week. I loved it and the only reason I haven't done it again since is becasue I have been travelling %26amp; thus been broke for some time. However, I have my first nail appointment after a long hiatus this week to have a manicure again and I'll be getting french polish on my nails again, since my nails are just past my fingertips. I love this look, it's soo sexy and I've had nothing but compliments! So, go for it, maybe we can start a craze... ;-)Is It Okay For Men To Have French Tips Put On Their Nails?
there is so much wrong with that question i dont even know where to begin, im all for looking good but seriously i think you need to step back a bit. youve crossed a line their by even knowing what a french tip is. you need sports and now.
Hope you have a great night out at the Admiral Lord Nelson.
Well you're gay so you can get away with it hun!





You aren't thinking of doing it yourself though are you? Because it takes practice not to make a mess of it. Book yourself into a salon or get a female friend to teach you how to do it.





Who cares what others think, they'll just be jealous that you have better nails than them!





Definatly go get a pedicure too, makes a change to read of a man who wants to have nice feet!
thats pretty weird. I don't think you should do it.
I would find it odd. Clean, well-groomed nails are nice. That's overboard, in my opinion. But do whatever you like, it's your body!
No ones stopping you, but it would be strange.


D:
only if a girl is there with you, and its a jokey kinda thing...





if you are deadly serious about doing it on your own... seek help...





nah man just kidding, if thats what you want, then do it, you can do whatever you like! :-)
um....sure...go on ahead
its not normal, but do wat u want, its cute :)
Of course its OK, I love doing my boyfriends nails, I think its so cute.
Sure why not. ';to each their own';
You know...uh....if you got it, flaunt it...i guess
eeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh鈥?nasty you gotta relise what sex u r





looking after your nails is fine but getting fake ones is just wrong
Are you gay? And no i like my guys non-gay!
No way! Not even if you're gay.
I guess it's alright if that's what you want. Certainly not my scene. But then I'm probably out of touch at age almost 75.
yeah thats cool! I do my bfs nails.... although he pretends to fight it... he loves it really!!
your obviously a confident gay man, so what the hell go for it.
No, honey, it is not okay. Just have your finger and toe nails nicely cut and buffed and you are good to go.
better with something more. your makeup, hairstyle and dress need to look feminine and chic in order to get a harmonious and pretty look. Only having french nail doesn't look comfortable.
thats gay
LMAO


Theres nothing wrong with a guy wanting to keep his nails clean, or even with painting them clear.. but getting a french manicure is going to far.. I mean its completely up to you, no one is going to stop you.. but gay or not, leave this style to the women.. please
if ur a homo den ofcourse go for it but if ur not it wont b normal only if ur super hott and have a girlfriend and thar ur positive ur straight LoL
It's your body! Why not?? Don't fancy the toenails doing though!!! Ouch!! They hurt!
its fine with me
I guess if you're gay, it wouldn't be weird. I was worried before you said that!
Never, EVER!!


Mascara yes, plucking eyebrows yes, filing and shaping nails yes - french manicure NO!!!
I don't think it's ok.
Hmmm, not my cup of tea but


whatever takes your fancy!


Nothing ventured nothing gained as they say.
hi i dont think it would be a good idea for you to have that done as you may look to feminin but why dont u try having your nails buffed or something

  • What color nail polish is better for french monicure?and what product ?

    Whites, creams, peaches, and pinks are my favorite for French manicures.





    Opi and Orly are my favorite brands. They are good quality and cover well. You can find them at places like Sally Beauty supply.





    You can find a few French manicure colors and kits here...

    If you bite your nails can you get a French Manicure?

    I've never gotten one before so I wouldn't know how it works. I've (so far) stopped biting my nails but I just want to know basically how it works.If you bite your nails can you get a French Manicure?
    Yes you can get a manicure if you bite your nails. They don't out and actual nail on just a tip, put some jelly acrylic, dry, and file (the file hurts a bit and is sore for a day or two). Then paint and finish!If you bite your nails can you get a French Manicure?
    Yeah, I bite my nails and I tried stopping to get my nails done. I got a French Manicure but it didn't look very good since my nails were still pretty short, fragile, and I would forget my nails are painted and start biting them. If you can really stop biting your nails then I say go for it.
    Yeah, but it looks worse.





    A tip, I got a do it yourself french manicure kit at walmart for 7 bucks and it's just as good. Everyone asks me if I got them done professionally. It was a sally hanson kit.
    yea you could if you stopped biting your nails and waiting until you see some of the white part of your nail you could get a french manicure :)





    Hope this helped

    How long do my nails have to be for a french manicure?

    My nails are not past the tips of my fingers yet. Is that too short?How long do my nails have to be for a french manicure?
    yeahhhHow long do my nails have to be for a french manicure?
    Like 3 feet.
    u should try 2 grow them a little but they can do it like that with a thinner line is all
    Just past the ends of your fingers:)
    They need to have some white showing.
    no you can still get your nails done it doesnt matter how short they are
    if the nail people can do tiny toes, they can do tiny finger nails!


    it's a layer of paint on the top...so they can be any length!
    well it depends on the shape of your nails but there has to be at least two millimeter of white tips
    That's not too short. The white will just be painted over the flesh colored part of your nails. Afterwards your nails will look longer.
    any nail past the pad of your fingertip is worth being painted and can be but below is just clear for now as it be not preeety
    They can still do it but it wouldn't look as nice if you waited until they had grown out some.
    you could get em done but theyll probably fall off before you get fills and would have wasted your money so you shold wait
    I think that you should ask a nail technintoin at a nail salon. Then take their advice.
    You can get them but they'll look better if your nails are a little longer. Or just get acrylics. Whenever I get a new set, they always clip my nails so they're super short anyways so you can definitely get them done and they'll look great. And I keep mine just past the tips of my fingers because of work %26amp; still get a french manicure %26amp; they look good.

    Acrylic nail fillins show through my french manicure.?

    I have been getting acrylic fill ins for about 3 mths now. I like getting my nails french manicured/airbrushed but notice now that you can see all the fill ins and repairs that have been done over time. This is very noticeable on the nail and makes the french manicure look bad.





    I was wondering if fillins look this bad when using gel nails too? Ive been considering having the acrylic taken off and going with gel if it would look better and not leave fill in marks.


    My own nails are very long (no need for tips etc). I basically got the acrylic done because my own nails kept splitting and breaking.Acrylic nail fillins show through my french manicure.?
    Acrylic and gel are very similar, but in my experience a set of acrylic nails that are done professionally should not have any evidence of back fills. I have been doing acrylics for well over a year and when a set have been repaired they look like new.Acrylic nail fillins show through my french manicure.?
    Acrylic is stronger than gel, but I like gel better because to me it looks better. If you go to gel, make sure it is really gel. If the person doing your nails, takes their brush %26amp; dips in liquid then powder, I don't care what they say, it's acrylic. Gel looks like gel, hence the name. Some nail techs will do acrylics with a gel overlay %26amp; charge you for gels.





    Oh, make sure they are using the same product each time you get your nails done. Even though acrylic is acrylic, different products have different recipes to make their polymer for their acrylic product.
