Question Posted Wednesday August 22 2007, 12:51 am
I got my nails done about 5 weeks ago so they are looking uglyyy right now. my natural nail takes up half of the tip.
my questions are:
-should i trim them? then let the rest grow out?
-can i still get fill ins after they are already this grown out and get them shorter and have my nail the same length at the acrylic?
-should i just get them taken off?
thanks in advanced.

Or cut your nails shorter,have them the size as the acrylic so they can be even.If you're nails are getting more damaged then remove then,let them grow as long as you want them to be.

you can still get a fill. Ifthey are lifting and really bad the nail tech will suggest getting them removed and doing a new set. You should get them filled every 2-3 weeks.
I have had acrylics for months and i love them and hate my real nail. sure they can rack up and be expensive. but if your gonna have them you REALLY wanna keep up on them so they dont look like poo. lol. when you go in for the fill...just ask them to file them down. they will do it. if you go to an asian base nail salon they might charge for a "cut down" as they all it
if you use nail clippers on them, they will break. trust me from experience.
