Acrylic toes?

[lucysmam]

This is just out of curiosity but do people have acrylic toe-nails?

Sorry if that seems a random question . . . I have a LONG list of things to look up & ask

Occasionally, but I prefer to do them in gel if at all possible. I do a lot reconstruction of damaged or missing toenails. I have done it on occasion for just arts sake, but I prefer to use a SOG.

Well, you learn something new every day!!

Surely they're a bit uncomfy though? Since they're plastic

 

[user 35377]

Plastic!?! No, sculpted L&P no thicker than the nat nail would be. Feels the same as a regular toenail.

Oh, so they're just like a natural toe nail.

Thanks for replying, that's satisfied my curiosity on that score for the moment & given me something to think about

I actually just done some today!! I've only done a few sets, I'd rather do Hollywood Toes but believe it or not my sister in law wanted them with glittery tips!!!!

Am I ok to have a look? Do you get toe-nail tips for them? Or sculpt them or . . . I don't know

I'm quite intrigued by the idea, suppose it's a good thing in warmer weather if you're missing a nail or have damage & you don't want people to see it

I only asked out of curiosity as well! Think I'll be searching for some more info to satisfy it now!

Of course!!!
A couple of people have asked me if (in their words not mine) have manky toes!!
I used a form on the big toe and secound and then just did free hand on the rest all fully sculpted x

They look really nice, you can't even tell they're not natural nails with glitter tips.

I'm quite surprised actually, don't know what I expected when I asked but I don't think they were it! May have a bit of a play one day to see what they look like up close

Personally I wouldn't do acrylic on toes, only gel! I think you need something very thin and think there is more chance of infections occuring with acrylic. I would never build toes with gel either.
