Nails advice please!
      09/06/2009 08:30

Having bitten my nails forever I finally stopped last year by having weekly manicures. The nails look nice with polish on but terrible without (ridges, dry etc.) They constantly break and flake so I am considering having nail extensions but I am completely baffled! The salon I attend does 'nail extensions and infills' I'm not sure what they use. Other salons offer fibreglass, acrylic, reglazing...I am so confused; I just want nice nails all time instead of different lengths through the week because everyday it seems another one breaks! The fibreglass ones are classed as semi-permanent but are really expensive, however, if they last a few weeks it may be worth if if the tops ups aren't too expensive. Also do you think the price of the extensions includes the polish? Which ones last longest? How long does it all take?

Also do they have to go under the ultra violet thingy? There have been reports that they can cause skin cancer.

This time last year all I did was bit them and hid them! I have asked the girl who does my nails at the salon I go to but she's 19, a bit dippy and vague but does a very nice job of the manicures and waxing that I have done.

All advice greatly appreciated!
