Nails done, No problems.

The simple things always catch the eye  and sometimes are the greatest accessory. Nail polish is a cheap way to finish off an outfit just by matching the polish to your outfit. If you are like me and do not have the time or skill to paint your nails correctly you can get your nails done at a salon. A popular thing to get done is to get a full set of acrylics on which are also known as "Fake Nails". These fake nails can make your nails look uniform and full compared to nails that have been chewed on. When your nails grow out and there is a space between your nail and your nail polish that means that it is time for a fill.  This is where they add more acrylic to the nail and repaint it so it looks like a pair of fresh new nails on your hands. The only downfall with getting these nails is that after keeping them on for a while it ruins the top layer of your nail due to the force put on the nails and the glue keeping the plastic onto your real nail. These nails are about $30 to get on while a fill sometimes costs around $12-17 depending on where you go. \


If acrylics aren't for you, you could also try getting shellac nail polish. This type of nail polish is painted directly onto the nails and set in by a UV light. Shellac is a think shiny nail polish that does not chip and allows your nails to grow safely without ruining them. This type of nail polish has become more popular lately because it stays on the nail for 14 days so it is good for long business trips or vacations. To get this onto your nails it costs around $15-$20 every time you get a polish change. 




Many girls nowadays try and find a perfect nail design through pictures on the internet. This is seen mostly with acrylic nails because they are easier to put a design on. A popular nail design is to have either one nail or a few nails different from the rest, this is known as an accent nail. This can either be a different design or even a different color that contrasts the main color. One could also get a wide variety of colors or designs put onto the nail. Some popular designs are cheetah print, matte colored nail polishes and flowery designs. Getting a design on a nail can cost $3-$7 again also depending on the place getting them done.  


Nail polish does not have to be changed every time to math an outfit but if one has a nice set of nails on their hands they will be more confident when shaking peoples hands and talking to others. When people have dirty nails and dirty hands the other person may be distracted by how dirty they are or might not even wanna touch your hands at all.
