" Oddly enough, the New York subway, in all of its filthy glory, can sometimes be a pretty inspiring place&amp;amp;#8212;I seem to come up with a lot of blog post ideas while riding it. Take my trip yesterday: I was sitting across from a young woman who was, in an act of truly gross public grooming, picking off her acrylic nails!And it got me thinking about fake nails. The only time I have ever had a set of acrylics, was for a beauty story I wrote many years back about wacky airbrushed nail art. (Kind of like the nails Beyonce was wearing a few weeks ago.) I thought they felt super weird, and they definitely made simple tasks like the opening of soda cans and typing out emails a lot more difficult. What about you? Have you ever sported acrylics? If so, do you get them done regularly, or only for special occasions? Know a great way to remove them (at home)? And what do you think about fake toenails?
