I was just wondering what people are doing with their nails? I've had acrylics in the past but I had my nails gelish gelled last night and I think I prefer that method

Mine will just be painted, as I'm not a fan of falsies. Will just have to be super-careful not to break any in the run up!
Gelish isn't falsies,it's just a gel that's put on underneath the gelish varnish that makes it last up to 3weeks without breaking... I'm hoping my nails will be a bit longer for gelish on the big day because its an organic substance so it makes ur nails grow quicker anyway... I wasn't a fan of acrylics,when I had them off my nails were really unhealthy underneath x

I had acrylics for my wedding, first time ever had something like that done and they ruined my nails so much. Took forever for them to get any strength back to them.

I agree GF, they do look awesome when they're done and look the same, but the damage after is awful x

I'll go to N@!ls !nc to get their everlasting polish which lasts for 3 weeks so I can get them off when I come back from honeymoon. I have had those a few times before and they don't ruin the nail at all. x

Where's your nearest big town?
Also, I'm sure you will have a couple of nice good local salons that will do nails, just check they don't file the nail bed xx

I've had awful, bitten nails all my life so I've had acrylics on for the past couple of years!! I've had a few weeks break during that time and have been surprised how strong my nails have been underneath. I love how varnish never chips off acrylics though so I'll be sticking with this for my wedding.
CommentAuthorInDreamland
Whoa! That's some distance! That's how long it takes me door to door to get to work in London. Sometimes good beauticians who do nails too can come to your home, see if there are any in your local area who do home appointments and offer gelish or other nails that don't chip xx

Alternatively, one of the girls I work with does her own and they look so professional you'd never know, she bought a kit that included a light machine that sets the gel polish hard and it sets and will not chip so just like getting the everlasting polish at N@!ls !nc.
I had one but can't find it now, my best mate bought it for me but I have no idea where I put it :S
You could look into getting one of those kits.

Maybe I'll do that, that's what I had to do when my friend did gelish last time, set it under a hand light x

My natural nails are insanely thin so I get an acrylic overlay on them (no plastic tips). It is a bit of an investment though as I need a fill every 2 - 3 weeks.
CommentAuthorJoannaS
Shelac polish is what I had when I got married I'm lucky my nails are strong and grow quickly really recommend it as it lasted 3 weeks
CommentAuthorpink*wink
Iv got v long natural nails, iv been getting gelish done but found it quite thick so got shellac today and much prefer it. iv jst been getting a colour and saving the french for the big day!xx
CommentAuthorSparklez
I had acrylic and totally ruined my nails :( hated them from the get go, but I guess as I didn't like the technician it wasnt going to stau on long lol... Shellac however is fab!! I have them done by the daughter of someone I work with and she is amazing, last one I have were pale pink with gold glitter running up them looked stunning, next time i'll take pics! If anyone in the Northwich area wants them doing I can give you her details x

CommentAuthorGillianE
You may find the damage done to your nails is from incorrect removal of the acrylic or gel you had on your nails, and not necessarily the actual product. Removing the product yourself or picking at them will actually remove layers of your natural nails. However the nail tech could damage your nails if they removed the product incorrectly too. Which will cause them to become thin, and break.
Gelish and Shellac are both good gel products to use and both can last up to 3 weeks, however not looking after them or been rough handed or the type of jobs you do can compromise the lasting effect.
I do my own nails and when i wear gel (NSI) which i trained with in college they only last about a week on me. But i am heavy handed. However shellac lasts alot longer on me. But not all products suit all people.

I'd like my wedding gown be a lace one, so my nails will also have lace elements.

Most likely acrylic as I have weak nails and need them to last whilst on my honeymoon :) x
CommentAuthorKatherineR45
i'm just going to have a manicure and polish as I have to have my nails quite short and no polish for work and I only have a week off after the wedding so anything long lasting is a no-no!
Yep they have been recommended to me as well.
