Nails
Okay, I'm ususally the one giving the advice, not asking for it, but here goes...
School's going to be starting up again soon which means that the Homecoming activities will be coming up before too long. I was thinking about getting my nails done before the dance. I've never had my nails done before, so this is all new to me. What I want are those arcrylic nails that they don't paint on. I don't know if you know what I'm talking about or not... but they look like real nails, but they're fake. And I don't want the people at the nail salon to paint them either, because the dress I'm going to wear is black and white. I just need to know what this is called so I don't waste my money on something that isn't the right thing.

Alright. Their called acrylic overlays. It goes on the edge of your nail, then they put pink poweder down which turns into a hard nail, which looks totally natural. If your wearing a black and white dress I really think you should acyrlic overlays, with a french manicure. Just call your local salon, and ask questions about it, and they should be able to help you.

I know a number of people who have had those kind of nails done before and when they take them off their nails are all crumbly and yellow, so beware. You can get very decent false nails that don't damage your nails.
If you do decide to get them, make you you go someone that has been recommended, not just any old place that could ruin them.
Good luck!

You were right. They are called acrylic nails. You can get them put on at any nail salon. However, once you get them on - you have to get them filled really often because your nail underneath will start growing and it will look bad unless you get them filled. & when you decide to take them off, your nails will most likely be damaged from having them on.
A french manicure would look cute with a black & white dress, but if you don't want to have damaged nails afterwards, you should just try growing your nails and getting a french manicure. I used a clear polish on my nails for about 2 weeks that helps them grow & it makes them stronger & everyone always thinks that my nails are acrylic nails because they basically look the same & I get french manicures a lot.
Hope I helped!

French Manicure

Draak answered you quite well, but there's one thing that I would add: acrylic overlays involve a certain commitment. If you ever have them removed (or rather, if you ever choose to stop having new ones put on), the underlying natural nail is usually VERY rough and damaged-looking. It takes some time for the nail to return to normal.
A French manicure WOULD look good with a black & white dress, by the way. And you could have that done to your regular nails, instead of an overlay.
If you're wondering how I know about this stuff, my wife went to school to learn manicuring a couple of years ago, and got her certificate; I helped her study for the tests. :D

I'm not really sure what you are asking, but I'll give it a shot anyway. There are basically two kinds of fake nails that you would get from a salon: tips and Acrylic overlay. Tips are an extension of your nail, the manicurist would glue a plastic tip to your nail and then overlay it with and acrylic or silk wrap. An Acrylic overlay just goes over your natural nails in order to strengthen them. But if you don't want a colored nail polish there is a technique used on both called a french manicure that looks like natural nails somewhat. With a french manicure the manicurist will paint the very tip of the nail white and then overcoat with a skin tone making the fake nail (or sometimes real ones) look like a very clean natural nail.
Hope this helps you and if not I'd make a call to your local manicurist and see if they have some other options open for you. Good luck!
