Should I get my nails done tomorrow for my baby shower this Saturday? If I do it'll be an Acrylic French Mani. My baby is due July 11th but being at risk for preterm labor. I don't want fake nails when baby is here as I feel they'll get in the way. Should I just paint them or get the acrylics? 😮
I'll be 34 weeks exactly! 😜 what are you having and what's the theme? @tracynangel
yay!! how far along will you be? @tracynangel
My nails are super healthy and strong and grow very fast since becoming pregnant so I hate to do anything to them but want nice nails at my shower.
Yes u should do gel. I've been doing it for so long and I love it. Way better than acrylics and nails grow. Mines have gotten so long during pregnancy.
I think they can do it with gel you should do that then since your gonna take off the acrylic before your baby.. I've always worked with my little cousins and baby cousins and around the house with nails so I'll be leaving mine on when the bby is here ☺️
Your nail tech is probably not taking them off right ... They are suppose to soak off and look as good as your reg nails with a mani.. I'm guessing they normally rip them off you or drill them off huh? It cost like a mani to get them soak off and all but your nails look just as good as when you put them on (: but longer of course
@mariceladez, it's cheaper than acrylics for sure. @ksmith814 is right. However, if you're a fan of that "French mani" look, then I'd stay just stick with the acrylics. Gel doesn't really give you that look.
I just HATE the way it leaves my nails all busted looking after they come off! @andreee
I want the acrylic French Mani look, if I can get that with the gel I guess I'll try it out @andreee
It's cheaper than acrylics but like $5-$10 more than normal manicures around here for gel.
Personally I love my acrylics 😍 tried going gel as well and I couldn't 😏 it's pretty much nail polish that lasts longer then reg nail polish.. Personally I love acrylics
will it look like the acrylics do?
I heard about gel polish but heard its expensive
@ksmith814, @mariceladez 😊 and after getting gel a few times, your natural nail becomes so much healthier and grows way faster. I haven't had anything but gel for the last three years, and I go every other week to get them repainted. Cheaper &&&& healthier 💗
Girl, gel is the besttttt! You'll never get those terrible acrylics again! 😊💅🏼
It's like normal nail polish that reacts under UV light and lasts 2-4 weeks without chipping. Ask your nail salon about it! It's super popular here in Utah.
Gel? 😕can you elaborate? lol @ksmith814
I would personally get gel! It lasts a while and is safer for baby. (Acrylics have bad fumes unless well ventilated) and that way you don't have to get them taken off!
I’m at the nail salon now , can you get gel French tip on acrylic nails ?
I don’t like French toes so what kind of polish should I do that will go with my nails ?

I'm afraid my baby girl might be getting too chubby... I love her rolls, but should I worry?
**WARNING**
MOMMAS!!
I highly recommend AGAINST the acrylic(fake) nails while having a baby!
Today my youngest started choking on a puff snack and me having acrylic nails could not get it out of her throat! THANK GOD my hubby was off today and got it for me so she could breath! It scared me to death and I immediately took my acrylic nails off. Just A warning for moms out there because I did not think about that happening when I got them!
PS: always try the upsidedown while patting their bac...
any one get their nails done (acrylic nails) late in their pregnancy?
Thinking about buying stuff to do my own acrylic nails once i get my taxes back 🤷🏼♀️
A boy, and mint mustache lol
