I thought that the reason you are not allowed to wear nail polish or false nails when having an operation was because the staff need to see the colour of your natural nails throughout. Something to do with your heart rate dropping if your nails go blue I think.:confused:

Re: Artificial Nails

Well maybe that's why my overlays were OK then because they are not coloured. There could be a snag if you have long nails and they want to put one of those monitor thingies on the end of your finger.

Re: Artificial Nails

When I had two ops last year I asked about my nails and they just asked me if they were stuck on and likely to fall off. I demonstrated that you can't even pull them off as they are just my own real nails with a gel overlay and both times they just looked at them and said OK, must have been because you can see my nail bed with them just being transparent. Both occasions were at Royal Blackburn.

I use 'Heads Above' on Deardengate in Haslingden, £28. Most places charge between £20 & £30 for a full set of acrylics, tips are sometimes slightly cheaper.
I once tried a place in Clayton, near lights:(, also a place on Water St Accy:mad:, & would not recommend either.

Re: Artificial Nails

Kathy at Visions of Beauty on Union Rd in Ossy did my gel nails for a special occasion last year. I was very happy with them and went back every 5 weeks for in-fills for 6 months afterwards. I was loathe to have them removed but in the end money is quite tight in our house so couldn't justify the expense long term. It cost £30 for the initial full set and then £20 for the in-fills which you need every 4-5 weeks.

Re: Artificial Nails

Home and Bargain have some great false nail sets in; a mere £ 1.99 ! They look really good on and you can varnish over them too ! They are called " red professional airbrush manicure nails" , you get 24 plus glue in a pack and they are ideal for holiday/ weekend out etc when you don't want the hassle of having the damn things getting in the way of work afterwards ! I put a set on last saturday and they have lasted until today ( thurs) without any falling off. Plus you can the things off yourself and not have to pay £10 for the privilege!
