Magazine article - Nail Myths - 06-04-06, 08:23 PM

I am writing an article for a local magazine and it is nail related (of course!!) and I have decided my topic is
Nail Myths and MMA
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 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!).
