Have any of you ever had your fingernails 'augmented' in a beauty
salon?  You know - where they paint on that gooey glue and extend
it way beyond your natural nails.  When  the  stuff  dries,  it's
harder   than   real  fingernails  ever  get,  and  can  be  worn
indefinitely.  You can even buy a kit and do the  whole procedure
yourself  -as  with  freshly  applied nail polish, it no doubt is
guaranteed to make the washing machine overflow or  bring  on  an
attack  of  the  "runs"  just as soon as you get the goop applied
correctly.

I have heard that this "glue" is damaging to your real nails  and
can  even  cause  an  infection.   Have  any  of  you had such an
experience?  I think most of us probably have too much  faith  in
the relative "cleanliness" of most makeup (especially eye-makeup)
and need to be more vigilant about the chemicals promoted by  the
Madi$on Avenue pushers.
