Get fake nails, they said it would be fun.

It has been fun, till you pop of two nails in one week. One hurt, and the other I'm not sure when it came off, but it was gone when I was getting ready for work. 

 

It's all OK though. I knew I needed to get a new set. As mine are four months old, and I'm getting a set tomorrow any way. My nail lady won't be so happy though.

I'm looking forward to having my nails done professionally.  I've been practicing with gels at home with poor to acceptable results.  Not sure I could live with nail extensions since I do a lot of things that would break them off.  My natural nail suffer enough as it is.

Are these the Press-On type nails your referencing? I used to use those back in the 1980’s and they only had a half dozen color choices. Now they have every color known to womankind. Back in the day, if I was out for any length of time, I undoubtedly had one pop off. They never stuck back on as well after coming off the first time so I always carried extra adhesive in my purse. I wonder if the adhesive has improved since then. @Red_Lauren.Do you wear them everyday? How common is it for them to pop off for you now assuming this last week was an anomaly?

I didn't start with tips, and still don't have them. grew out my nails over the last four months. So when I would go in for a fill. My nails would get longer, but now I'll need tips. At least on the two I popped off. To keep them even with my current length. 

 

I also work with my hands alot, and I would say my current nails are almost 1/4 past the tip. I haven't had really any issues with breaks other then when I had no support under them.

Mine are the acrylic ones. The ones woman have to pay to get done. I could never get press on ones to stay on. Them popping off is rare, but considering how old mine are. Its not surprising.

You surely got some good use from them...acrylic or otherwise. I needed to have mine redone every 3-4 weeks. When I was playing racquetball regularly, I lost a nail every couple of weeks and had to get a replacement. One time, I ripped off my pointer acrylic nail and half my nail underneath when my nail was caught in the locker latch. Now that the gyms are closed they stay on until next time to get done. Currently, my nails are bare for the first time in 16 months.

When I popped of my nail last week it hurt, but I didn't take my nail with it. I could never get 3/4 weeks out of a set. Before I need to get a fill. In my picture below. That is after two weeks since me last fill. 

 

LaurenA, I work with gloves on, and deal with a lot of things. I'm suprised how well my nails have held up. 

 

Now that I'm going in to nails as a career next year. I'm going to have to be more on top of them, but it won't be as bad. As I will be able to do them my self.

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷
