that ment to say clear... whoops!

.....for this confusion!
You call it "overlay", if there is only the natural nail, without Tip or Extension made with Gel or L/P!?
We call it "NN strengthening", and my Translation Book said: "Enhancement"!
Thats my trouble with translations-I go from German over Greek to English!

I will try to put/translate it right:
This is my first try with UV-GEL, on my natural nails. Before I was using only the rubber hand.
And before that, I was making nail art using nail polish. I always had my nails long, and herewith I always had the problem with the "shading through free edges".
Does it now make any sense

Sorry, I cannot say anything about using clear tips-I have never used them.
I have only done some nail art on the rubber hand using White Stiletto Tips with Full Cover or Make Up Gel.

either way they are very nice

very pretty design x

They are pretty, well done! You should go and get proper training somehow, I'm sure you'll be very very good!

Many, many thanks everybody!!!

I know, if I could take a proper training I would not struggle so much and not waisting so much time. But I have a very complicated situation here, it is too risky for me to be absent for more than 1 day.
Anyway, you should never say never......

What else can I say-you are a great team here!

Em actually, the word enhancement mean to 'enhance' something or something that has been 'enhanced'...not something that had been extended.

NNO's are therefore a type of 'enhancement', are they not??
They certainly are on my service menu.

Without formal training, these nails are nicely 'enhanced'.

Yes, enhancement is a derivation from 'enhance'.
But I was curious about its usage.

Was it used for 'natural nails with something on them'?
Or has it developed this meaning only after acrylics and gels for nails appeared?

If anybody knows..

Well it just sounds so much nicer than 'nail extention' or 'fake nails'.

But it would cover anything that 'enhances' ones nails.

Not really sure what your getting at

Fake nails are just 'stick-on' nails, aren't they?

Thank you stoney,
I was near to throw my dictionary over the balcony!

And thanks for your nice comment-I really appreciate.
