Artificial Fingernails
Your artificial fingernails need to be cared for, so you can keep them looking good. Caring for artificial nails, is a good idea, as this way, you will also help keep your nail plate from being damaged, when the artificial finger nails are removed. In between visiting your nail technician, or for those times when you can't make it to an appointment, it is always best to get into the habit of maintaining them. First of all, when choosing a length for your nails, don't go for one which is not too long. Your natural nails do not stop growing once they are on. If you want to change your nail color, consider using a nail polish remover that does not contain acetone, always make sure it is non acetone.
The acetone will eat into your artificial finger nails, and you want your lovely nails to last as long as possible. Artificial nails are highly susceptible to fungus growth, and you don't want this to happen, after all the trouble you have gone to. 
Fungus can also occur if there has been some kind of disturbance to the nails, such as lifting. The artificial nail will not become infected, but rather the nail plate underneath.Having these types of nails over your natural nails, will often mask the fungus, and this gives it time for the infection to grow. Your artificial nails provide darkness, moisture and warmth, 3 things the fungi loves. If you enjoy having fake toenails, you also have to be aware that fungus can happen quite easily to them too. Always dry your hands and nails thoroughly after washing. Water is not good for them either, and wash with an antibacterial soap, this is a good way to help prevent any bacteria getting in, and causing an infection. Always wear gloves, when doing cleaning around the house. If you notice any damage to one of the nails, get to a salon immediately, to have it fixed. Massage solar oil into your artificial fingernails daily, to help prevent lifting. Solar oil can also penetrate the nail and hydrate your nail bed, this will help prevent cracking and keep the nails flexible. It is very important that your massage your artificial nails daily, at least 2 to 3 times. With the right care, they will last longer, and you will prevent any problems. New!
