Artificial Nails are wonderful but are not for everyone.  Due to lifestyles and occupations many people are better off trying to grow their natural nails.  If you are looking into having artificial nails applied or are currently wearing them….here are some tips and precautions, in general, and some occupational hazards in particular.

Read all of the information below or click on the underlined subject of interest and it will take you to the place in the text that applies to the subject you choose.  This information comes from real clients in real world salon and life situations.  If you fall into one of these categories and the information does not apply to you…You are one of the lucky few.

Nurses and Health Care Professionals – This occupation requires a lot of hand and finger use.  Administering shots, rolling a patient on their side or changing bed linens, not to mention wearing gloves that cause your hands to sweat.  The risk of jamming your nail is high so nails should be kept short.  Also some hospitals will not allow you to wear polish (I have no idea why, and neither do the hospitals), so you will want a natural look.  Wearing gloves is another problem.  Make sure you are going to a nail technician that applies nails that do not lift (in a 2-3 week period).   Also applying a good quality top coat every other day or so will help your nails stay sealed against moisture and lifting.  Over the years some of my best clients were nurses and one or two doctors.

Fibreglass and acrylic are both reputable nail systems.

When fiberglass first hit the market in the early ’80s, it had an advantage over acrylic: it did not yellow, and it was lighter and thinner than acrylic. Its downside, however, was its lack of strength. Technological advancements have improved both systems. Today’s acrylics do not yellow, have excellent clarity and flexibility, and most importantly, can create thin, strong and durable nails. On the flip side, fiberglass nail systems have been strengthened. Now that fiberglass and acrylic share similar characteristics, choosing the correct system becomes a personal preference for you and your technician. Here is a brief synopsis of each system:

Acrylic
  • Clear and natural-looking.
  • Extremely durable-the copolymer resins are soft, flexible and adhere well to the nails, eliminating the age-old problem of lifting.
  • Buffs into an incredible high shine, leaving natural-looking pink-and-white nails.
  • Cracks and gouges can be repaired simply. Continue reading »
