I have real nails.....haha.....I get a gel manicure and i've realized that it lasts for about a week before it needs some attention.....my thing, I dont want my nail to be looking busted come carnival mon and tuesday.....whats ur solution...?? or what do u do about ur nails??

I never faced this problem before, but I will be facing it this year. I always get a natural color and on Friday I will be taking my own color to get a fill-in. Then I will just take the color to Trinidad and repaint my nails if necessary

nuffin i dont have time to study if my manicure get messed up in trini

i normally get a natural color on my nails and toes ..... this way if my nails mess up u don't really see it only if u are in my grill

I just get a mani/pedi in NY right before I go (a pale, neutral color on the fingers, so chips don't show), and I then I change the color myself on Carnival Saturday or Sunday to something brighter. My pedicure usually lasts for 3 weeks, so I don't have to worry about my toes.

One year I had a manicure and pedicure done at Institut de Beaute in Long Circular Mall, and it started chipping and peeling the next day. Waste of time and money!

aww, just clipp the damn tings off.

u know what.....I think I will......I was getting tired of it anyways......i'll leave just a little bit....enough for a french manicure....and hopefully it'll last.....cause I know they'll break in tnt.....I just know it.....

Nail varnish that matches my costume

I really dont like going 2 get manicures or pedicures in Trini due I was told that the quality of the manicures or pedicures is not that good....

I usually get them done the day b4 my flight but heres a trick

if ur polish is chipping

get use sum glitter nail polish and u r good 2 go!!!!!

Once you get your nails done, coat them well (on top of each nail, over the edge, and under it) to make sure you seal in the color. Refresh it every 5 days or so. The color should easily last a couple of weeks without chipping.

You can probably get it at any drug store. I usually purchase it from CVS.

thanks 4 the info i will give it a try
