Pros and Cons of Fake Nails

The main advantage of fake nails is that you instantly have beautiful hands. Robustness is another factor to consider, so acrylic is the most hard-wearing type of fake nail.  Nail color will last longer on artificial nails than it does on natural ones, so less chipping will occur.

Points against fake nails are: your underlying natural nails will be weakened by the extensive filing that has to take place in order for the artificial tip to adhere.  This in turn could cause long-term damage to the nail bed.   Also, the simplest of tasks such as picking things up from counters and floors can be difficult because the nail tip is thicker. Fastening zippers, etc. can also be hard work if you are not used to extended finger nails.
