For people with fake nails how long between fills?

I've noticed this with a lot of slow cooker recipes. If you are slow cooking why use quick instant cook type stuff?

My housemate and I decided that the epitome of this cookbook was the "recipe" for mint tea that cooked for two hours (!?!) and used tea bags, water, and 2 drops mint extract. I kid you not.

Realistically, I can get away with three weeks, msbelle. I've gone longer with French manicure since the pink is so close to my nail bed color - it's harder to notice casually. With color, though, it starts to look pretty rough after three weeks. Not that that stops me sometimes.

Um, I don't do fills because I'm doing it myself with full plastics from Tarjay, I just trash 'em and start over roughly about every 3 weeks. That's the point where the fake is starting to get above the cuticle and lifting is an issue. So I may be no help. I used to try to do my own fills at that point, but got really lazy. Easier to just redo for me, but I don't go to a manicure place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I ended up in the ER today, and the doctor's plan was to give me what I take at home (but had run out of). The attending asked him (in front of me, which was almost embarassing) "Whose idea was that?" He almost tried to pass the buck back to me. Almost my most frustrating visit to date. The stadol (which I take at home, but run out of in a week) gives me an hour or two if I double the dose. That's so not what I go to the ER for.

Still, the good news is that the staff was all "Long time no see!" Well, the rest of the staff, not unsure resident. But I have started out 2009 with increased time between visits, so that's good.

As well as quelling the migraine I'd had for a couple dates, the procedure soreness seems to be quieter. So that's good too.

I'm only at 2 weeks, but I'm kind crazy about pushing and cutting my cuticles so the gap from the tip to the base is like an eighth of an inch.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Work has confirmed they are sending me away on TDY. Five fully comped winter weeks in south Florida instead of Kansas City, yay!
