Make sure when your having your nails done that they dont file down to the base of your nail.
Also look around for certificates, and check the type of solutions they use.
They should NOT use a type of drill thing across your nail bed.
Acrylics and gel infills are nice....
I grow mine and have them manicured about once a week

sassy to be honest i would just grow your own nails and shape them..
you may find some of the places look good but if you look at your nail from the side they are about 3 - 4 mm thick! because they put so much gell on to get a smooth finish..
if you dont want them that long then it shouldnt take 2 long.
Edited: just saw your nails dont grow.. so ignore that bit
