Virtual nails

Filed in archive News on September 10, 2006

If you read my rant about nail breakage, and my rave about acrylic nails, then you must know I'm a firm believer in fake nails. Not only do they look so much better than my real ones, but they are also low maintenance, with nail-polish lasting for ages, no chipping or fading. The acrylic nails are also very durable; the only thing you have to do is to get a fill-in every three to four weeks.

But, if you are not ready to spend initial (for someone considerable) amount of $$, or just don't want to sit at the salon for hours, why not try Virtual Nails? These are an invention of the Dashing Diva salon, and I have heard many good reviews about the nails. Here's what virtual nails are:

"With Virtual Nails™ there's no need for fill-ins either. After 2 weeks of wear, you just soak them off for 10-15 minutes in our special 'Magic Melt' solution (a special combination of acetone and lanolin) and put on a whole new set ... or go back to sporting your own natural nails. Now there's a proposition that resonates with nail biters, not to mention all you "toe-in-the-water" types."

If you had these or are going to get a set, let me know how it went!
