Silk Wrap Nails...??

I've been thinking about getting silk wrap nails...i used acrylic for 2 years and i have my own nails back again but im having a problem keeping them long and pretty.


So what exactly are silk nails...do they drill your nail beds like arcylic nails....are they heathly?? etc.Silk Wrap Nails...??
Try Bio Sculpture nails. They apparently dont file your nails thin, and are great. I have tried them yet, although I am in the same position as you. There arent that many places that do it here in Oz..Silk Wrap Nails...??
im a nail tech, a lot of my customers has quit using acrylic nails, due to the fact that it weakens your nails, and switched to liquid gel overlay, which is a lot safer on your nails and feels very natural.





for an gel over lay all we need to do is file you nail a bit, to remove oils and dead skin on your nail, no drilling is involved

Wraps versus tips? (fake nails)?

I hope I am calling them the right name--but what is the difference between the wraps and the fake nails? Does one cause more damage then the other?





I would love to have nice nails, but I had fake nails once before and they hurt, for one thing, and when I got them taken off they ruined my real nails for a few months (they were very thin and brittle)





Are the wraps any different? Is that what you call them? What is an alternative to fake nails?





Thanks!!Wraps versus tips? (fake nails)?
fake nails are really bad unless you get it done at a Nail salon with some one who knows what they are doing

Acrylic, Gel, fiberglass, or Silk Wraps for my nails?

I have naturally beautiful nails that grow long and strong. I love getting my nails polished at a salon, but the polish always begins to chip the next day! I am tired of wasting my money and want to know what I can apply to my nails to keep the polish on the longest.





I have had acrylic before, and dislike the thickness and bulkiness on my nails. I want something to feel thin and natural- and help give me long lasting polish! I am unfamiliar with gels and silk wraps. I've heard about fiberglass, but don't know anything about it.





Thanks for your help!!!!! Have a great day!Acrylic, Gel, fiberglass, or Silk Wraps for my nails?
I have always had long, strong nails, too. I would never get anything but polish put on them. They will make your nails weak. To help polish last longer: if you have a manicure go home and put a top coat on, then put top coat on every couple of days. I use Sally Hanson Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat. It dries fast and works great. Also, if you are doing any cleaning be sure to wear gloves.Acrylic, Gel, fiberglass, or Silk Wraps for my nails?
gel and silk are very fragile, and expensive.





Tell your nail tech to do your acrylic very very thin, and give it a gel overlay. It'll cost about $50 for the original nails, but the color lasts longer and looks smoother, and you can remove it with nail polish remover without damaging the gel.

Does anyone know how to take off artificial nails that are ';gel'; and silk wrapped? (not acrylic nails)

Acetone should do the trick. Straight acetone, not polish remover with acetone in it, it's not strong enoughDoes anyone know how to take off artificial nails that are ';gel'; and silk wrapped? (not acrylic nails)
You will need to soak them off. You should be able to find the solution at Walmart near the nail polish removers.

Wich would be stronger an electromagnet wrapped by ten loops of wire around a nail or twenty?

Twenty of course... If you look at the equation, the number of loops (turns) is right there in the numerator.Wich would be stronger an electromagnet wrapped by ten loops of wire around a nail or twenty?

  • My nails have grown quite long, is there a protective wrap I can have put on them (except acrylic)?

    I also don't want my own nails filed down so they become thin and weak.My nails have grown quite long, is there a protective wrap I can have put on them (except acrylic)?

    Yes, they do. Acrylic nails also ruin your nails after a while. All that filing and glue will have its effect eventually
    Yes it always does.
    Yeah, I've heard that they do. Just stick to polish.
