Are glue-on nails okay for a special occasion?

Well being a nail tech i can probably answer this question the best. The problem with the glue on nails are that the glue is very strong and not good for people with sensitive nail beds. It irritates the nail beds causing itching, burning, or even redness. If you have used them before with none of those side affects, then you are fine. The second problem with them is when people go to take them off they think that they are not real fake ones so they rip them off. Think about it you just super glued something to your nail and you are going to rip it off. No that is not good at all, when you do that you rip of some of the top layers on your nail hence why the surface of the nail is rough. Instead let them fall or or soak off with acetone. The second option is press on which will last for that day only, they use a weak adhesive strip that adheres the the oils in your nails, but if you plan on more than just sitting there and eating my guess is that one will probably fall off during the coarse of the night. Whatever you do DO NOT!! get a do it yourself home acrylic kit or gel kit. I took me 8 months to learn and perfect the techniques of fake nails. They will come out lumpy, big, and rough. I can't tell you how many times I've had to fix damage from people that try to do it themselves. Good Luck!
