DIARY<br />
OF AN ACRYLIC-SCEPTIC<br />
<strong>Pouf</strong>! <strong>Magazine</strong>’s Editor in chief tries out fake nails.<br />
It all started with me getting fed up with my dry, chipping<br />
nails.<br />
No matter how I tried they just wouldn’t work with me.<br />
I did everything right: Filed in the right direction, used<br />
oils, lotions, hardening base coats, slept with moisturising<br />
gloves. You name it - I’ve tried it. Nothing worked.<br />
Eventually I decided to try acrylics.<br />
For me, the important thing was to keep them natural-looking<br />
so that no one would notice.<br />
The part about no one noticing is very important to me.<br />
You see, I’m not one of those girls who likes a lot of<br />
attention. I like to keep things subtle and low-key.<br />
I think of it as sophisticated, although some<br />
might call it boring.<br />
But that’s in the eye of the beholder.<br />
So, the big question is: Can false nails ever pass<br />
as real?<br />
