My nails grow fast too, never had them fake plastic ones or the acrylic ones but i'd like to try the acrylic ones sha grin and they are always painted, i usually dont ever go without nail polish on both my finger nails and toe nails. I do my pedicure/manicure myself every week, sometimes twice a week to clean them up. And the usual color i paint my finger nails are black or navy blue. As for my toes, i color them whatever i feel like but i never wear pink or red except for this red i found, its kindda maroon and the name is hilarious, its called Pus$$y Red grin grin

wink Oh well, my nails are quite ok, but I hardly grow them. I keep them short, so they stay nice and neat, but when I have to grow them they are really beautiful. The problem is they take their time to grow, at least two to three weeks.

I am not a nail polish, hate nail polish, dont know why. As for my toe nails, I must say I have beautiful feet and toe nails, so let me say I'm blessed this side. cool

Prefer ma finger nails to ma toe nails - short, always breaking! I do ma pedicure manicure maself.
Way back, i used to bite ma nails every now and then, but as i grew i realised it wasn't lady like and so stopped. Ma finger nails are so cute especially when they are long and i've got this naturally light pink nails with white tips, peeps always think i fixed them. Hardly fix, except on ma big toe, and thats occasionally. But on ma fingers no, don't like it and wouldn't even be comfy with it.

My finger nails neva seem to grow so long, so i fix ma nails, every once in a while, but my toe nails are just perfect!!

They are very well formed, hence i love wearing peep toe sandals, kiss kiss

my nails are so long and beautifull, a natural french tip and so strong. i pride in it and you almost catch me filling it and cleaning it every day.funny fact is it stays cleaner when long. i take care of my nails myself as i am a beautician so i do my manicure and pedicure myself and i sure do know a lot about it. since nails are ecto skeletons, part of our bones, i know that what you eat has a lot to do with how your nails, teeth and hair grows, so i concentrate on calcium for such, infact the last time i visited a dentist with my sister, he had to ask again who was holder cos my teeths were stronger and 32 in number while her's was not. really, if anyone needs special info on beauty tips [more natural ways] contact me on teesbabi@yahoo.com. i keep my toe nails shot because i tend to wear covered shoes to work and i hate discomfort. but doing chores with my long nails, has never been a problem

my nails grow fast and beautiful.keep my finger nails short cos I practise medicine. treat my toes well,tho they break off sometimes due 2 pressure from my shoes.
Re: Tell Us About Your Nails by gianni(f): 1:21am On Dec 05, 2006
my nails are just there!i mean i make sure they are clean all the time but i avoid the artificial ones like a plague ever since a friend,who is [was] addicted to them had a fungal infection.
Re: Tell Us About Your Nails by munai(f): 1:34am On Dec 05, 2006
I have short nails, basically kept clean and no nail polish. , just simple nail cutter, I am good to go

In my opinion, Oprah with all her billions has short nails, no polish no drama, I got inspired, I have nothing against anyone who does their nails, I just would rather spend the extra 'dough' for something else, but if you enjoy fake nails, have fun!

If you really observe though 'some Divas' non of them do fake nails or nail polish e.g Oprah,Beyonce, Mary J or Halle Berry.
Re: Tell Us About Your Nails by iice(f): 7:08am On Dec 05, 2006
Halle Berry does nail polish o, Beyonce does too but its rare. Mary J used to do fake nails esp in the old days afterall she is Ghetto Fabolous grin grin grin
Nwayz some months my nails tend to break easily maybe coz my hands are always wet undecided
Re: Tell Us About Your Nails by munai(f): 1:47am On Dec 06, 2006
Halle,Oprah and Mary dont do fake nails, you are right taht Mary J USED TO IN THE PAST, not anymore coz she is a proper Diva now

Re: Tell Us About Your Nails by tRoOE(f): 6:01pm On May 04, 2008
@Ice
Have your sister seen any improvement since she started doing acrylic nails
But the problem is that acrylic weakens nails, with some other disadvantage jare, it looks cute when you get it done but the after effects make the nails tacky

It wudn't be so bad tho if sum ppl didn't like FORCE the nails off
wen they tired or wunna get it redone. Seriously, if there's new
growth, get it refilled and then wait till the glue starts to weaken and let
the nails come off themselves. That's wut I do and ma nails aren't weak.
I see ppl forcing it off and I'm like, "LAWD!! shocked Wut happens lady if ur nails
COMES OFF with that? shocked" LOL. . .
