 Subject: Fake nails called Prescription Nails.
Message:
My manicurist is using a new fake nail called Prescription Nails. I get fitted for nails on my first visit and she wrote down the size of each nail down so that when I go back she knows what size to use for each nail. They are fast to apply and they don't have the fumes that acrylics have. They are pretty sturdy too, I got mine done 2 weeks ago and I haven't had any fall off or lift. I'm pretty impressed with them and she said that they are less damaging than acrylics. What do you all know about these nails? Even if they are less damaging do they still do damage?

I can now answer my own question. After reading these posts I realized that these nails can be just as damaging because the manicurist sands down your real nail and puts that chemical on it to dry it out before the fake nails go on. I decided to go ahead and remove my nails and attempt to grow my own out. I figure I've got a helpline here with this website and all. The nails didn't come off so easily. They did come off and my nails are very rough with patches of white spots on them. I bought a buffer and some moisturizers to try to coach them into being more healthy. Overall they look okay now, a little on the weaker side and still a little bit of roughness and dryness. I'll just keep applying the moisturizers and all. My nails have always been thin but after reading some posts I think it may be because they are dehydrated or malnourished so I also bought some vitamins. I hope all this helps me to grow some stronger nails.

Any topical treatment adheared to, or bonded to the surface of the natural nail will in fact cause some damage.....
Invest your efforts in your own natural nails and you will not run the risk of any problems associated with the things that happen to all who wear the fake nails.....
IS ANYBODY OUT THERE HEARING THE TRUTH ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS OR ARE THEY ALL LISTENING TO THE TECHS THAT MAKE THEIR LIVING APPLYING THESE THING?
Angela, please be careful with your own nails... Treat them like jewels on the tips of your fingers. Nurish them, baby them, and you will learn from that experience how much less heartache there is involved... The topical treatments, no matter what they call them this week, will do damage to your own natural nails.

Denise,
if your nails are in general good health, or if they are terrible, you will be making a mistake to bond anything to the surface of the nails.
Your problem sounds like a simple matter of dehydration. Please, cancel your appointment for the "prescription" nails.
Who prescribed them? That implies a doctor gave you a script to be filled. is this the case?

Hi Angela,
In my oh so humble opinion, you made the right decision in removing the 'prescriptive' nails. I wish I knew who decided they could be called that. I will be honest, I've never used those specific nails, but after years of acrylics I finally got tired of the pain involved with the fills.
I can't say enough good about NGF. I never dramed of having naturally pretty nails, but I do. It doesn't happen overnight. It takes patience and faithfully using the product to see results, and how fast you see results will vary. In my case, I also had to overcome a nasty 'picking' habit. I picked at my cuticles til they bled and tore my nails to shreds. I still have my moments of the need to fidget with my nails, so instead of attacking them, I nourish them with NGF.
I hope you'll give the product a try and see how it works for you!

Good morning, Denise!
I too had short, ugly nails. I finally took off my acrylics after years of wearing them. I tried several different products to try and grow out my own natural nails but nothing came close to the results I have gotten with NGF.
Now granted, my nails are still short but that's because I file them down. I have been acrylic free for about 6 months and am still growing out some nasty ridges that tend to chip and peel when they reach the tip of the nail. However, I started using the buffing cream and that seems to be helping. I can see from the new growth that the ridges, while still visible, are diminishing. In time I hope to be able to say that they are completely gone!
I hope you'll cancel that appointment and consider trying NGF. If not NGF, something other than fake nails because they truly do tear up your natural nails.
