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.

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.
