I've had acrylic nails applied once again! A little longer and sharper this time and I'm in LOVE.
I originally had them done in a dark purple colour but I decided it was a little too 'gothic' so I opted for a more neutral Autumn hue. This is Chinchilly by Essie. It's a beautiful colour and my first Essie nail polish! I've had it on for a (very active) week and through work and an active fitness routine there has been NO chipping. This could be helped by the acrylic nails but I am seriously Impressed. It only took two coats to achieve the colour (covering a nearly blackish purple).
Downside to the nails, my pinky nail broke off only 8 days after application. I guess the quality of your acrylic nails has a lot to do with the person applying them so try to go somewhere that a friend has been or have a website/facebook page where you can see their work.
Also you might want to check what colours they have in, I wasn't too impressed by the colour selection available at the salon I last went to.. a lot of neons let's just put it like that.
Overall though I feel like having sassy nails really completes my look and compliments by outfits and makeup - definitely worth getting done. Typing has become a bit trickier but that's really something I can live with.
