Gorgeous Nails!

By Sheena Shaw

Crack! OMG, I broke my nail. Mostly, every lady gets her nails done for many reasons. To go out on a hot date, going to prom, attending a wedding or just because you want to.  No matter what the reason is, everyone likes pretty nails. Now, from a male perspective, it's a useless task females do to pamper themselves or waste money, but to some females, it's their world!

So much time and patience goes into getting your nails done and deciding what you want to be done. You can get acrylic, gel, clear tips, French manicure, manicure, and pedicure. The most important the design, oh gosh those designs. You have an option of getting lining underneath tips, half painted or full painted nails, any artist designs with polish, and the most popular, getting artist designs with acrylic or gel. So many to chose from, but always remember you have to pay quality money to get what you want.

Why should ladies do this to themselves? Uh... because it's fun! Long fingernails can make a female feel graceful and womanly, but sometimes, when fingernails grow too long, they can become breakable and they'll just break off. With acrylic or gel nails, you can have the pleasure of having long fingernails without the waiting for them to grow. Who doesn't want sexy nails? Come on now!

Quick tip! Always check the prices of the place of service before you sit down in that chair. Some places you can get a quick deal and pay from $0 to $60, which isn't bad. Adding details and glam to your nails, prices ranges from thirty to $100 or more. Yeah, a lot of money, right?

Frequently getting nails done within every two weeks may cost lots, but you can save money by maintaining your nails and get fill-ins. Also, you can get something that actually lasts. For instance, choosing gel over acrylic can keep nails looking great after a month compared to just lasting for a week or two. Sophomore student, Brittani Benton, stated that "since I can draw, I save money by doing my own designs. Now I must say, everyone loves my artwork."

Nails are good as well as bad. No matter who you are or where you're from, breaking your nail is like the worst thing ever! Not only will it possibly hurt, no one wants to spend unnecessary money on one nail. Just walking around with one super brand new nail and the others look pretty dry. When I get my nails done and when one of them break, I get pretty blown because they're mines.

Having well done nails causes a change in someone's overall spirit. Giving some level of relaxation and an opportunity to release stress. Sophomore student, Bianca Williams, stated that "having creative nails can add personality and can last a long amount of time," but of course, results may vary. Nails can alter your appearance, which is a great compliment to your own personal style.
