I am writing an article for a local magazine and it is nail related (of course!!) and I have decided my topic is
You know the ones like;
"oh acrylic wrecks your nails"
and
"oh my last tech cut and hurt me is this normal?"

What are your top nail myths that you hear time and time again.

My whole point of writing the article is to educate that average would-be client.

I took my false nail of to let my own nails breathe.

Has anyone ever seen a set of nails breathing cos i havent what a ridiculous statement but one made time after time.

Brill one Scatty...I forgot about that one!!

Nails with lungs!!!

check out the Myths and Fables articles by Gigi in the article forum.
myths like... learning how to do nails is easy, white spots on the nails means calcium deficiency, gel is least damaging to the nails etc etc etc, fab reading

Funny I have just posted a thread regarding the nails breathing saga!!!

I always like the "I just looked at my extensions and it fell off"
and "I woke up and they were all over my pillow"

Thanks for the input...a fav of mine " I shook my hands and they flew off!"

I shall be detailing in my article that nail techs can tell if a nail has been picked off or not!! Hopefully a few less clients will try to pull the wool over our eyes (as if they could!).

I don't understand WHY my nails are so soft I have eaten a cube of jelly every day for a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nailbiter - 'My nails NEVER grow, or if they do they do so VERY slowly!!!!!!!!!!'

What about the old 'ooh! my tech makes them thick on purpose for extra strength'

lmao

What about Organic products and products with absolutely no chemicals or solvents LOL.

i think the best one i've heard girls is.. " my mate had acrylics, when the lass took them off her nails underneith were mush and she caught a fungal infection"
