Let’s talk about the reasons why American women prefer buying false nails to a trip to a nail salon.
If many have long forgotten about the existence of false nails, in the United States this trend has begun to gain momentum again. On the shelves in stores you can find sets for every taste and color and at a fairly attractive price.
The American market is renowned for its rich variety of beauty products and treatments. It may seem to many that the beauty industry is only thriving there, but the nail service in many cases leaves much to be desired. Fortunately, the American women have found the perfect solution, and now every trip to the store is accompanied by the purchase of a set of false nails.
Recently, the popular tiktoker @americanprincessss posted a video about the new trend, which caused a lot of controversy in the comments. The subject of discussion, of course, was the refusal of American women of different age groups to visit the salon and the choice in favor of false nails.
As it turned out, now this trend is really more popular than ever. In terms of its reach, it can only be compared with the 90s, when the hip-hop movement led by Missy Elliott and Lil ‘Kim won the hearts of millions of girls and got new loyal fans who imitated their idols. And if in those days the design was not very diverse, now everyone can find something to their liking in stores.
There are actually several benefits to false nails. First, the budget price. Their cost in the United States usually ranges from $ 5 to $ 10, while the procedure in the salon will cost at least $ 20. Secondly, time saving plays a big role. Nowadays, finding a couple of free hours in a busy schedule is not so easy, and in the case of false nails, the whole process can take as little as 10 minutes.
In addition, American specialists without medical training cannot perform certain procedures, including cutting the cuticle, as it is considered tantamount to surgery. And even despite the fact that a full course of training for nail service masters in the USA lasts longer than, for example, in Russia, it is rather difficult to find a real specialist.
Of course, today there are fewer fans of false nails than fans of gel coating. Some people think that such a manicure looks cheap, others mention the dangers of glue, with which false nails are strengthened. Nevertheless, this method can minimize contact with people and ensure safety, which is quite important during a pandemic.
