How can I get my nails longer in a month?

My school year starts in one month. I want to have long attractive nails. My mom won't let me get fake nails so does anyone have any advice on how to get my nails looking really good? I got fake nails from the store and I liked them a lot but since my mom won't let me get them professionally done, I doubt she will let me get ones from the stor e. Also does anyone know how to get longer nails? Everytime I grow them out, they form weird and I end up cutting them right before school. What should I do? Advice please!

I've heard pushing back your cuticles (the thin layer of skin at the back of your nail) a little bit s them grow faster.

Hey, I am not a teen, but I just stumbled across your article and had to tell you that I have crappy nails too but I just figured out how to get them to grow. I really like the Sally Hansen stuff, but my nails would still split all the time. So now, every night, I am rubbing really thick cream with a healing agent in it into my cuticles and all around the tips of my nails and no kidding, they look really good. My nails have grown about 3 mm. It has only been about two weeks too, so you have plenty of time. I had heard that the health of the cuticle determines the health of the nail, and I guess that is true. The stuff I am using is called Corona Antiseptic Ointment. It has lanolin in it and I think that is why it works so good. It's really hard to find, but the # on the jar is 1-800-241-6996. If you can't get any in time, Bag Balm is a similar product and might work well and you can find it at Walmart I think. Both products are made for veterinary use - don't freak out, people use them for dry skin all the time. I also got a Sally Hansen French manicure kit at Walmart too. It is really because if your nails are not all the same length, you can make them look like it by painting the white part a little more on some nails and a little less on others. It is really to do but also really to screw up! Just paint the white part onto bare nails and that way if you mess up you can just quickly wipe it off and try again. Once you get the white parts on all your nails looking good, let it dry super good (I learned this the hard way). Then it is to paint on the light pink stuff. After I used my nail polish a couple of times tho, they were getting goopy. I just put a couple drops of polish remover and a couple bbs (from a bb gun) into the bottle and shook it up and then it was perfect and a lot easier to use. You could use little tiny fishing weights if you don't have any bbs. We have boys in our house, so we have both. Your nails will look so good. Way better than fake nails. Besides, fake nails are not nearly as in style as they used to be.

Try just letting them grow, keeping them polished with some strengthening polish. Make sure to keep trimming/filing/shaping them though... it s to keep them looking . Insead of cutting them when they start to look mis-shapen, try filing them, either rounding or squaring the tips.

Hehe. For once I agree with most people! Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails is my personal favorite. First I put on a coat of French Pink...I think its Avon, but I'm not sure. As long as its not super-cheap any color works. I'd stick to sheer colors, pinks or whites, it looks the best. Then add a coat of Hard as Nails, and yayness.

hey this is I have long nails cause i like my real nails betta and plus my mom won't let me get fake nails done at the salon yet she gets hers done 24/7 anyways this is what i used sally hansen's line it is the best first start with a sally hansen nailgrowth miricle it comes in a gold bottle but its clear (i find that ur nails grow faster when there is no nail polish, clear, or very very light pink nail polish) or you can used sally hansen age correct growth treatment which comes up as a light pink then if you want nail color but nail color down then let dry or use sally hansen insta-dri next you put sally hansen hard as nails w/ nylon. and all you do is watch your nails grow and the won't break but make sure you add the hard as nails every 3-5 days. also i forgot before you do all that you need to have good cuticles there are 2 different ones sally hansen sells they both are green you can choose either it is called sally hansen cuticle remover gel or the sally hansen cuticle remover lotion. (i prefer the gel). then you use the sally hansen maximum growth cuticle nail moisture treatment it looks like a pink pen brush.(thats good to make sure you grow heathly cuticles) thats all i hope this s alot if you want anymore just emial me at xoxo rgurl xoxo@gmail.com
