Billyboy, that's exactely it! Gel nails... I think that when people talk about acrylics, they think it's those fake glue on nails. The nails I get are acrylic gel, and my nail tech dips a brush in some kind of liquid, then into some powder, and she kinda paints them on. They are dry in about 4 minutes, and rock hard. I have never had them split, or lift up, hot or cold weather, like I think AndyB said happened to him. Nowadays, when I go get them done every 3 months or so, I always have her do my thumb finger nail in different colors! She has done my thumb in gold glitter, silver glitter, a mixture of all kinds of colors, and this time I had my thumb done in black ahd red! It looks cool under stage lights (as if I'm some stage performer), and it causes conversation with the ladys, who always say, "Wow, that's cool"! Now the thumb thing may not be for everyone, but, I'm just different, and I like to explain to people I meet why my thumb is colored like that. ( I get to brag about flamenco). The other finger nails look exactely like regular nails. But, again, it's GEL, not fake acrylic nails. I would probably think it's kinda like the Lume stuff that Patrick has been hawking! ;>) Merle
