I've been wanting to ask this for a while but wasn't sure if it was allowed, if it isn't obvs please let me know.
TL;DR I'm very hard on my nails and am hoping for tips to have longer lasting nails that won't tear up my nail beds, ensuring I can get them year round?
I'm am owner operator of a small dog grooming salon so my hands are in water and soap all day and I am always bumping them on stuff etc. Also my natural nails are not naturally very thick. I've really only gotten gel (before i did this work) or acrylic nails with gel polish over the years and I find the latter is the only thing that truly lasts more than a couple weeks. I get a fill every 3 weeks when I'm getting them done. I've noticed many add on like getting chrome powder or designs make them chip sooner so I don't get them. I generally get oval or ballerina shape. Still, I'll have 1-2 fall off between fills.
I often have to stop getting them at some point and let my nails heal because with the nails that fall off they just start to get too thin. I haven't had them in 4 months now and I MISS MY NAILS SO MUCH.
My question is, is there anything I can do in the type of nails I'm getting, the place I'm going, the amount I'm going, in between care etc that will enable me to keep getting them year round? I've only tried polygel and dips at home and they literally just peel off or start to crack after one day of work. Help!

I was at a nail salon yesterday, and there was an episode of dateline playing inaudibly. I only caught parts of it due to where I was sitting, but it seemed that the victim was an Asian woman/teenage girl. There was a text exchange shown where a man texted a friend to come over and specified “no sex”. She seemed weirded out and responded something like “lol no sex? We’re like brother and sister”. At the end, there was a thin blonde women in a prison uniform. The impression I got was that maybe she and a boyfriend had conspired to murder the victim? I wasn’t able to find the right channel in TV listings to see what was playing.

I’m obsessed with this new trend but I like to wear gel or shellac colours only because I use my hands a lot at work. I’d love to buy a colour that I can bring to the salon for a shellac manicure. But when I try to Google for lipgloss nail colours, it’s all normal nail polish.
Some examples of what I’m looking for:

Hello!
I’ve gotten acrylics a ton of times in the past, but I have never gotten sns. I was wondering which would be better for me to get this next salon trip/what the differences are.
I haven’t gotten anything done to my nails in about a year because the last time I did I lost an entire real nail with one - that hurt like hell, and on top of that I stock shelves, so that extra hurt like hell while healing. I really don’t want to experience that again lol. All my previous acrylics I had at my job before this one, and I never had any issues there. I believe I got them too long last go around, and I also did not have an assigned section at my store then - which means I dealt with a lot of boxes that are glued shut (much much harder to open, very easy to have the nails get caught because I have to wedge my fingers in the crack and then pull with all my might). I now work in a section where the boxes are mostly taped, and I can just use a box cutter.
I don’t typically keep up with them - it’s a one and done thing for me, and then I may go back and get them done again a couple months later if I feel like it. I just take my nail clippers to them when they get too long and deal with them not looking the best until I finally remove them or they come off on their own.
I have very short natural nails, so would need to get a tip (though a short one), which I believe can also be done with sns?
I read that sns isn’t as strong, but I’d much rather a nail break then take my nail with it.
And lastly, is there much of a price difference?

Ako lang ba yung di nagpapahaba ng kuko kasi iniisip ko na pag naghugas ako pwet baka may kumapit?
Although may bidet naman di talaga ako nagpapahaba ng kuko dahil dun sa fear na yun. I know napakaewan. Pero ewan ko ba, iniisip ko minsan pano pag naCR ako sa labas tapos ganon.
Naopen lang itong topic na ito kanina when me and my pamangkins ay nasa salon para magpalinis ng kuko. Kasi napansin nila na never ako nagpahaba ng kuko or try yung mga artificial nails with gel polish and art. Linis lang talaga pinagagawa ko. Aside sinabi ko na convenient for me I shared sa kanila yang primary reason ko. Hahaha. They're laughing sabi praning daw ako. Wala lang. Please tell me na di lang ako please. Hahaha. Need to validate my kapraningan. Hahahaha.

We open with Joe Kagen tending to his farm. The credits say “Leon Charles” as Mr. Standish. Oh my God, I thought we were done with this fool. Charles and Jonathan arrive and inform Joe that the Elders of the Church will be voting again on his application. The previous voting has been deadlocked at 3-3, with Charles, Jonathan and Doc Baker voting to approve, and Nels, Harriet & Judd Larabee voting against. I don’t know much about religion, but how the heck did Judd Larabee become a church elder? Charles and Jonathan take off. At the Ingalls homestead, Caroline announces that if Lars were still around, the whole matter would have been settled by now. I’m guessing Judd took Lars place after he passed away. At church, Harriet has one of her lesser moments by going on a racist tirade complete with scare tactics, which is backed up by Judd. Rev. Alden doesn’t get a vote, which is just weird. It’s his church. And isn’t everyone welcome at church? I’ve stopped trying to understand these things. Nels has had ENOUGH of this garbage and the ayes have it at 4-2. Harriet and Judd storm off while everyone remaining celebrates. Over at the Winoka School For The Blind, Mr. Ames informs everyone that Mr. Standish (Boo!) has bought the place out and will be converting it to another hotel. Mary and Adam send word back to the Grove about the school closing. Charles, Caroline, Alice, Jonathan and Reverend Alden are gathered at I believe the porch of the Garvey residence to discuss the latest events. Alden suggests that Lars’ old house be converted to accommodate the blind school. I don’t have a problem with this, but how did Lars end up with such a huge house? He never married or had children.
Alden decides to ask for a vote of confidence on the matter at church, stating he was unable to sell the house. The matter is approved unanimously. Joe Kagen donates a sow, Judd Larabee donates a cow (didn’t mean to channel Dr. Seuss there). Harriet donates all of the supplies needed to restore the house, including shingles, paint, lumber and nails. Nels smiles approvingly as he seems to have had his faith in his wife restored after her earlier outburst. Oh, and Harriet is also donating the plaque. Thankfully, this doesn’t end up a rerun of the bell episode which left the town divided. Mr. Ames informs Mary and Adam that a telegram from Walnut Grove has arrived and asks them if they want him to read it (Ya think? THEY’RE BLIND!) – Mr. Ames reads the note and informs everyone that Walnut Grove has adopted their school and will be coming to transport them back to their new home. Everyone is relieved, but the celebratory mode is short-lived as Mr. Ames informs Adam that he will be retiring due to health reasons instead of making the move. This might have more of an impact had we known Mr. Ames better. Back in WG, everyone gets to work cleaning up the house in preparation for the arrival of the blind school. Do they need to get that detailed, I mean, it’s not like anyone that’s living there is going to be able to see if there’s a smudge on the window or anything. Oh, it’s announced the Winoka Blind School will be merging with another blind school – run by Hester Sue Terhune of St. Louis. Harriet is ecstatic at the thought of meeting a St. Louis Terhune, believing she is incredibly wealthy. This requires another wagon, so Charles ropes Joe into coming along.
Charles and Joe arrive in Winoka to begin the move, but there’s a problem. Adam’s team of horses that he bought from Mr. Standish have ribs showing. Adam announces that he traded all of the blind school’s furnishings and food for the horses. Adam also sold the family cow for these magic beans. Adam tries to deflect blame for that by arguing that he got Mr. Standish’s word IN WRITING! I don’t think the writers have fully latched onto the subject that THE BLIND CANNOT SEE! Joe and Charles walk the horses over to the saloon. Standish is unamused by this, but starts to backpedal when Charles and Joe explain to his customers how he cheated the blind school. Standish agrees to let them trade for any team in the livery and a wagon.
Everyone gets ready to make the move as Harriet yoohoo’s and waltzes over, having taken the stage from Brookings to meet Mrs. Terhune in person. Mr. Ames says his goodbye to the children, who show no emotion at all. The blind children are tethered to the wagon and will have to walk the entire time. Haven’t they been through enough? The journey begins and Harriet loses a heel. Joe’s taunting laugh is pretty funny. The group encounters a river and Adam has considerable trouble getting across. Adam asks Charles if there any more rivers ahead. Charles replies that there’s only one more and Adam says it will be better for the children. Putz.
PART TWO! – Everyone meets up with the other blind school, which is just getting off the train. Harriet wasn’t expecting that Hester Sue was actually from Pascagoula, Mississippi as opposed to St. Louis, Missouri (nor that everyone at this school is black). Also of importance is that Hester Sue is sighted and I guess she is effectively taking Mr. Ames place, albeit in a more hands-on role. Joe tries to get on Hester Sue’s good side right off the bat, but she doesn’t sound like she’s in the market for a man. Joe tries his luck again that night as everyone is camped out and trying to shelter from the rain, but Hester Sue greets him with a rifle in the face. That’s a little over dramatic. Joe talks to Sampson, a young black boy who was treated rudely by Harriet earlier. Joe tries to explain racism to Sampson, but he doesn’t fully understand since he only sees darkness and not different colors. Harriet overhears and it looks like the message is starting to sink in. Back at the Ingalls homestead, Albert tries smoking Pa’s pipe. Laura chastises him for trying to act older than he is – which is pretty remarkable since Laura did that constantly in her youth, then when she finally became an adult she started acting like a child. Albert turns green and runs off to vomit. If he would have remembered how awful smoking is, it would have prevented a lot of misery in the future.
The next day, the journey resumes as Harriet’s opinions on racial relations have evolved and she now says that there is no such thing as a right color or a wrong color. Atta girl. Back in WG, the plaque is delivered – it’s huge, heavy and bronze. The journey continues as everyone reaches that other river. The rainstorm from last night has made the water too high to cross the same way as before, so Charles and Joe use ropes and a rig and a makeshift chair to get everyone across. As Harriet is going across, Charles lets go of the rope and Harriet is dunked in the water and of course, Charles laughs at her misfortunes. Adam is next, but he won’t budge and just holds onto the rope with all of his might. Joe and Hester Sue try to get Adam to let go of the rope, but he yells and pushes Hester Sue (a woman) to the ground. In return, Joe punches Adam and knocks him out. Joe punches Adam and knocks him out. Oh sorry, that was me hitting the rewind button because I loved that part so much. Joe explains to Hester Sue that he had no choice but to do that (no explanation necessary Joe). That night, Joe and Hester Sue talk once more and Hester Sue tells Joe that he conducted himself nicely that day, but that she has been married before and has no intentions of being married again. Joe explains to her that Walnut Grove is different from St. Louis in that St. Louis has a lot of black folks, but Walnut Grove does not. Elsewhere in camp, Adam wakes up from whatever sleep he was in and tells Mary that the reason he was so afraid of water was because he lost his sight as a child after slipping on a rock in the river and knocking himself out. Okay, I could understand how he wouldn’t like rivers after that, but what is he afraid of? It’s not like he can go blind again.
Everyone closes in on Walnut Grove. Apparently, kids doing “Are we there yet?” dates back to at least the 1800’s. Everyone reaches their destination. Sadly, amidst the chaos and confusion, we get cheated out of Caroline’s ZOMBIE RUN! Another time, for sure. Judd Larabee comes out of the school and confronts Harriet, stating that maybe he could accept one black person in town, but a wagon full of black people is unacceptable to him (as most people of his kind, he’s a liar since he makes it clear he can’t tolerate Joe Kagen in “Barn Burner”). Harriet publicly lectures him on racism as Nels looks on approvingly. Alden gives us an inspirational message as everyone embraces. The blind children still don’t seem all that enthused about anything, but maybe they can predict the future and know that this blind school is going to be short lived? Who knows?
EPISODE WINNER – Joe Kagen – not only was he hilarious throughout, but he got to punch Adam which is something most everyone wanted.
EPISODE LOSER – Adam, for being a coward and a liar and physically assaulting a woman and foolishly allowing the blind school to be cheated by someone he knows is unethical. Also Larrabee, a pathetic presence whenever he surfaces.

I’ve read that superstars can work over 300+ days a year which means constant traveling. My question is

• When it comes to makeup, did they all carry their own makeup case and do their own makeup before showtime? What if they were terrible at their own makeup? Or was there a designated makeup artist on the road with them that used their own kit and did makeup application for them?
  
• Another makeup question, but how did they manage to have their entire look stay on even in the most brutal of matches? I’ve never seen anyone with smeared lipstick or foundation rubbed off. Everyone always seems to have their makeup perfectly in tact even after a match.
  
• How did they not have visible sweat on their faces or bodies? I’ve noticed a lot of them don’t really look drenched like you would think. (Maybe they’re just so trained and have amazing stamina so they’re kinda used to it and therefore don’t show it as much?)
  
• For hair, did they style their own hair and have to bring their own tools? Was there a hairstylist to travel with them and use their own tools on them? Also, when would they have time to touch up their hair dye/hair extensions? I’m assuming on an off day but you’re traveling constantly would they go to random salons when the time came to retouch hair? I can’t help but wonder what would happen in the case of a hair disastebotched service and they have to be on tv the same/next day.
  
• Another hair question, I’m assuming that after every match (whether it was a show or just training) they would not only have to shower their face and bodies, but also their hair. Every single time? Wouldn’t that dry out their hair really bad? (On top of having to use hair dyes, extensions, heat tools etc) Did they all just walk around with extremely damaged hair?
  
• How did they maintain their tans? Tanning beds? Self Tanner? Spray tans? Wouldn’t a spray tan melt off them from sweating, showering a lot, and rolling around excessively? How did they always manage this?
  
• I’ve noticed they always have a nice manicure whether it’s a simple French tip or colored nails, would they just go to random nail salons while traveling? I’m assuming yes since they can be on the road for weeks and months at a time without being home right?
  
• Diet & exercise, I’m sure they get plenty of exercise and had the hook up on gyms whenever they went, but what about diet? I’ve read a lot of them either get room service or go to random fast food/diners. Sure they can get healthier choices but it seems like it would be hard to calorie count that way?
  
• Last one, but how did they manage wardrobe? We’re they in charge of their own clothes? Would they just travel with a limited amount of clothes? (I’m assuming they were only allowed to bring so much) Would they just have to buy clothes as they went? Did WWE choose their attire for them and already have it ready for them? What about when it comes to laundry? Is there a department for that? Is it up to the superstar to get it dry cleaned/washed? I can’t imagine a “regular” washer can be used with some of the extravagant gear some of them had.
  

I really wish I could interview one of these ladies and ask. It seems like there’s so much behind the scenes that remains a mystery. Most answers I’ve gotten are guesses (that’s okay too) but I’d really like to see if anyone actually knows for sure.
TLDR: How did the women maintain hair, makeup, clothes, nails, tan, body, & diet while constantly on the road?
Thank you in advance everyone. I appreciate all answers.
