I completely agree with Ana’s answer and explanation. These days we have lots of tutorial available online. Which makes us think its easy to do extension at home. But we do not realize it that if not done properly, we end up damaging our nails for life time. For e.g. over buffing, or choosing wrong grit of filer. So its better to go for experienced nail tech help or have patience for natural nails to grow.

“Today’s new soak-off-gels strengthen natural nails really well, but can be damaging if not removed properly. Gels can be an also be expensive, either at the salon or getting your self set up to do at home.”

Thank you for this! As a soak of gel user and gel polish blogger, I am constantly bombarded by people who think soak off gel ruins your nails. It is a breath of fresh air to see gel get the fair representation it deserves.

“According to Mr. Schoon, all products (acrylic, gels, and lacquers) are completely safe. The biggest problem occurs when they are improperly applied and improperly removed by poorly trained nail technicians.

In the world of fake nails (nail enhancements), the motto, “What you pay is what you get,” is completely true. The well trained and passionate nail professional does not come cheap.”

In reply to KimbersKorner. Thanks so much Kimber! I agree—I think short nails that are well groomed are beautiful...and I'm so happy there are a few nail art bloggers who prove this to us with every post. ~Ana

Excellent advice as always! I love it when i see people rockin’ shorties. Mine are rather short at the moment, and I have to say – I hate breaks, but when I rock shorties, I love them. Long nails are beautiful, don’t get me wrong, but they’re not meant for all of us. Short nails can be just as beautiful. And we all know what I’m going to say next…..if you have problems gaining length, pure Nail Oil can help!
