It will save you $, stress, and to be honest, I think teaching and working with kids would be hard with longer nails.<br /><br />I just got a schellac manicure (the one that's gel based and supposed to last 2 weeks) and I love it so far.<br /><br />The transition might be hard but it will be worth it in the end!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070121331923416255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95345051877400276.post-12758041837696236262011-01-13T23:38:24.536-08:002011-01-13T23:38:24.536-08:00I have been dealing with this debate for a while n...I have been dealing with this debate for a while now. I have been getting my nails done for 9+ years as well. I have talked to my nail tech about transitioning due to the money and inconvenience, even though they also use my real nail with acrylic on top. She is more than happy to do it but the problem with me is I work two jobs where I constantly type and she said that even with the new OPI/AXXIUM gel technique they will be very fragile and paper thin which would last 3-4 months. I'm sure it still more than a manicure but cheaper than acrylic. I'm torn and not ready to take that leap, I love my acrylic! =)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00115582567178060401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95345051877400276.post-2896298068114673822011-01-13T07:32:21.831-08:002011-01-13T07:32:21.831-08:00Good luck!

I hope for not as long, but I need something to get me out of biting them again. But I did save tons of money when I didn't get them done. (which was just, in turn, spent on mani/pedis) :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398056610313094984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95345051877400276.post-7419484596018595722011-01-13T07:05:07.822-08:002011-01-13T07:05:07.822-08:00I use to get my nails done in high school but stop...I use to get my nails done in high school but stopped when I went to college and was broke. It took a while for my "real" nails to get strong on their own. Even though they are long underneath they are usually pretty weak and will break right away. Same thing happened when I took my nails off that I had put on for the wedding. Good luck!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356655617475615318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95345051877400276.post-44945380003819620902011-01-12T16:18:54.593-08:002011-01-12T16:18:54.593-08:00Ohhh boy have I been there!

Honestly though its has been 3 years since I have been without them and it has truly made my life sooo much simpler. I don't HAVE to get my nails done, but I can if I want to. The biggest downfall is that the nail polish doesnt last as long. Nevertheless in the end I like the natural look better and it saves me a tooooon of money! Good luck sweetie!Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285274453164422958noreply@blogger.com
