I'm trying to figure out what to do with my nails for the big day. I love having them look pretty and manicured, but I never get them done since I rarely make it 24 hours without messing up the polish-my nails take an absurd amount of time to dry and I'm clumsy. I did gels for awhile which I loved (I could make it out of the salon without a smudge!), but I hated the removal process so much I decided I couldn't take it anymore. I got acrylics once and it was horribly painful and I didn't like the look and never want to do it again. I'm intrigued by powder/nexgen, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out. As far as I can tell, it's artificial nails, and you can do colors or a pink and white french. Can you get designs, and do they last like gel, or is it just a different way of getting artificial nails and you use regular polish on top for designs? I think I want something like these.
