1. Sandals are downright fashionable. With styles that cover practically every possible reason and season, sandals never go out of style. In fact, many popular designs and styles of sandals remain lasting fashion statements year after year.

2. With sandals, foot freedom reins. Just ask any college student why they love their flip-flops. Ask a beachgoer how come they’re not wearing tennis shoes. Sandals deliver an enticing balance of being almost barefoot but still having shoes on the feet. It’s a lifestyle really.

3. They deliver comfort like no other. There is just something great about the way sandals tend to break in and conform to the foot - almost like they’re an extension of the feet themselves. Shoes haven’t quite found a way to enter this territory yet.

4. Sandals have health benefits. Many podiatrists actually recommend the wearing of supportive sandals for the healthful benefits they provide for feet. Some sandals work in the same way as custom orthotics do to really help promote foot correct posture.

5. Forget about the fungus. It’s true; sandal wearers get the added foot health benefit of having cool, dry feet. This means there’s no place to harbor fungus, preventing a fungal foot infection before it can ever begin to take hold.

6. Sandals are usually more affordable. Okay, this one is for the practical-minded, but when it comes down to it, sandals are generally less costly than other types of shoes. It might have something to do with the fact that less material used equals less expense or it could just all be wishful thinking.

7. Try to beat the versatility of the sandal. Poolside, at the beach, backyard, or nowhere even close - just slip ‘em on and slip ‘em off. It’s hard to beat the versatility provided by the always fashionable footwear.

8. Promote balance with sandals. It is really no surprise that sandals have been chosen to help increase and promote balance. Practitioners of yoga have even adapted sandals with individual straps between each toe to encourage an increased sense of balance in the art of yoga.

9. They’re the original footwear from history. Sandals are time tested, having stood the test of time longer than any other form of footwear. The tennis shoe has been around for decades, the boot for centuries, but the sandal has been in use for millenniums. That must speak for something.

10. Sandals show expression. Sure, all kinds of shoes can be fashion-forward. However, no other form of footwear is as conducive to showing off a fun and funky sense of style and spirit like the sandal.

Acrylic nails are a type of nail extension. They should be cared for with respect but not in such a different way as to how you would care for your normal nails. There are a few things that you need to watch out for. One is that you should try not to keep them in water for long periods of time, to avoid this you could use rubber gloves for washing dishes or your hair.

Different people have acrylic nails applied for different reasons. One of the reasons to have acrylic nails is to help prevent the want to bite the natural nail. It is so hard to stop biting nails if you are in the habit, so having acrylic nails would help to prevent this as they are so strong and almost impossible to chew.

Having acrylic nails can be rather expensive in a salon and also it costs to have them removed. Both jobs can now be done in the comfort of your own home. A kit can be purchased from a chemist or drugstore complete with instructions on application and removal. I would say though that it is not as easy as it may seem! Practice makes perfect.

Many people are under the impression that artificial acrylic nails are just “stuck on” to the natural nail. This is not the case at all. To explain it in simple terms, the nail is made up out of two chemicals, one is a powder and one is a liquid. When mixed together they make a soft substance which is applied to the nail. The substance dries hard and is then filed into the desired shape.

Lifting is often a problem with acrylic nails. This is when the acrylic nail begins to come apart from the natural nail. This can occur because of a few reasons, but the main one is that improper nail preparation was carried out. Nail preparation is very important before applying any type of nail extension. The nail has to be cleaned, cuticle removed, dehydrated and any primer added (depended on the artificial nail system being used). Not taking the time and effort over the nail preparation can lead to lifting and peeling of the nails in the future.

Some salons use a substance that adheres extremely well to the natural nail and therefore prevents lifting occurring. This may make the acrylic nails look wonderful, but you must remember that when it comes to the time that the nails come off that they will be taking off the top layer of your natural nail with them. Make sure that your nails are treated with utmost care and products that will not harm your natural nail or nail bed.

A full set of acrylic nails take approximately 1 or 2 hours to be applied, depending on the technician applying them and the system you are having. The maintenance that is needed on the nails is recommended every two weeks and takes approximately 20 minutes. Removal of acrylic nails takes approximately 30 minutes.
