i was planing on getting my nails done.
but i heard that your natural nails start to turn brown and yucky or something after a few weeks
since the natural nail is being covered and all but im not sure =\ and i was wondering if it was true.
???

Wow lots of these are very impressive. I personally never do nail art, although my friend (also on Soompi, HamasakiHeaven) does it very well.

In most cases, yup. it's because your nails can't breathe and after you take all the nail polish off with remover, looks yellowy or brown (if you leave it in extra extra long) It's like skin (pimples) and makeup.

How long does it usually take till it recovers?

[DECEPTION]

^ A few days after you wiped off all the nailpolish.. if it's brown instead of yellow-y, it might take a few more days. So i'd say a week. Let it breathe lol

how do you paint the flowers? can teach?

and how to prevent your nails from chipping? mine tend to chip alot

[DECEPTION]

^ For flowers and delicate designs, you need to buy nail pens or the nailpolish with extremely thin brushes.
I guess the easiest way to prevent chipping is to put lots of clear top coat

[seasonthree]

I use a simple toothpick to paint the petals. Wait for them to dry halfway and then do that line thing. Afterwards, use the toothpick to dot the center of the flower.

If you're talking about your nails chipping, then you need to buy a Sally Hansen nail polish that is specificly made to strengthen and harden nails.



I bought clear so that I could repaint them every week for I don't remember how many months. Two months? Three months? Your nails will harden a lot, and you will definitely feel the effect.

If you're talking about your nail polish chipping, then there's really no other way to prevent that from happening besides not doing any work with your nails.

is it just with me, or does clear nail polish ALWAYS peel off??!?!?!!!! i tried waiting a day before i put on another coat, and it STILL peeled off.

maybe you should try buffering the nails first with a nail buffer, so the polish with grab onto your nails easier.
