Alcoholic...I think your condition is like peeling or spliting? If som you are like mine, I have very thin nails and they bend very easily.

Basecoat is a must because it protects your nails and prevent them from turning yellow.

To make nail polish last longer, you can use a nail file to sand down the surface of your nails gently, then, apply. If you use basecoat, sand the surface after you put on base and before color.

Fake nails. Personally, they are great for those who have a hard time growing/keeping their nails to the desired length. I love how they look when they are newly done but hate them when my real nails start growing out. I will eventually have to pay to remove them. The last time however, I just keep clipping and filing them instead of paying to get them removed. I use clear polish (extra think layers on the real nail that grows out) so they look more even. Turned out to be ok so I don't have to go through the pain and waste money.

Applying/removing fake nails don't neccessary hurt unless your nails are very thin and the artist is unprofessional.

The store at metro is expensive and not very pro. Sorry to say but I hate it when they do your nails but keep looking around (daam tin mong daay) and talk loudly with their coworkers in Vietnamese.

A full set of Acqualic or gel nails cost approx 35 but lots of times, you have to pay additional things like Polishing, French manicure, Gel overlay (make them shinny), Designs, etc. I usually end up paying around 50-65.

How long they last depends on how fast your natural nails grow.

BTW, girls, what brand or color do you like for nail polish? I like OPI and Anna Sui
