i have never went to a salon, I do mine at home with the nails you buy at the drugstore.for 5-10. dollars you can buy all lengths and colors. They even have them for toes ! Alot of people I know have had trouble getting them to stay on, but the secrets to keeping them on is in the application of the glue. First off, throw the directions away! start by cleaning your nails with polish remover, only buff them up just alittle,pick out sizes to match your nails and only apply the glue to YOUR fingernail! don't put glue on the fake nail as the directions sometimes tell you. put one drop on the center of your nail and using the glue bottle tip, spread the glue around on top of your nail. if it is not enough to cover, put one more drop again, in the center of your nail, then apply the nail and hold down for 5-7 seconds. if any excess glue comes out around the nail, wipe very quickly with a paper towel. just keep an eye on your nails every couple days to check to see if they are getting loose.remember, this glue is a super glue so be careful not to glue your fingers together.LOL. I have been using these for many years with no problem! ieven have friends who come to borrow my glue to fix their salon nails, and mine have stayed on better! also, if you want to remove or change them, soak them in the acetone remover or the kind sold just for these type nails! Once you get the hang of it, it will only take 10 min. or so to do. I even do mine sitting in my car at lunch from work-easy! the main thing is just remeber to check them every couple days, maybe while standing in the check out line at the store!
:scaredops! one more thing, don't use the glue that comes with the nails, use a bacteria free kind,most times sold right next to the nails! it lasts longer, and you wont get that nasty green fungus some salon nails give you! :rotfl:
