Written by Charlotte Wood (last updated July 5, 2019)

Some of us just don't have healthy or pretty natural nails. It's a bummer, but a fact of life. If our natural nails aren't so hot, then what alternatives do we have? You can always take more time consuming measures to strengthen your natural nails and you also have artificial alternatives. With options like nail extensions, you can succeed in beautifying your nails and giving your personal presentation one more asset.

Nail extensions are meant to give your nails support and so you want to use discretion when making your decision. The key to having natural looking nail extensions is simple: you choose natural looking nail extensions. Chances are the reason you want nail extensions is to make your nails look beautiful and the most beautiful nails are natural looking nails. It's not difficult to find natural looking nail extensions, but you do need to know the right places to look. You can always talk to your nail specialist for good places to find quality nails and the best tips in the nail trade.

Know going into the nail extension world that the best natural looking nails, the ones that will truly look natural are not going to be inexpensive and it will take dedicated maintenance. Something else to keep in mind as you consider nail extensions is how it will impact your natural nails. Nail extensions, regardless of how natural they actually look are not the healthiest alternative for your natural nails. When you take your extensions off, also be aware that it could seriously damage your nail. It could not only rip your nail, but actually tear it off.

You may be able to find great nail extensions without too much trouble, but you also need to be aware of the associated costs. There are other ways to either enhance your nails or just make your natural nails stronger; nail extensions, while you can always find ones that are undeniably natural looking, could destroy your real natural nails.
