Question about acrylic nails white tips or airbrush french?!?

I'm going on vacation and I was wondering if its best to get the white tips with the acrylic ontop, or just regular tips with an airbrush french? Any oppinions?Question about acrylic nails white tips or airbrush french?!?
Simple. Airbrushing the white on is the easy way for the tech to do pink %26amp; whites. Well, so is doing a white tip. FOr best looking results, find someone who does sculpting of nails. They don't use tips, they just place a nail form onto your fingertip and sculpt the extension over it. But, it takes much more skill to do this method, so that is why the cheap places do not do this type of nails. Most of those people in the cheap salons are not skilled enough to sculpt. Anyone can put a tip on the nail and lay clear acrylic over it. It takes skill to sculpt the white on, and to build the nail so that it isn't flat, but instead looks like a real nail that has an arch - called an 'apex,' built into it. Flat nails look awful. A properly built nail has good structure to it. You can tell for yourself if the tech did a good job, or not. Simply look at your nails from the side. If they look flat along the entire length of the nail, then they did a poor job. But, if they start out very thin by the cuticle area, and gradually reach a peak around where the free edge begins, then slopes back downward and tapers off at the very tip of the nail - then the tech did a good job on your nails. Nail structure is very important if you want realistic looking nails. Its very easy to slap on a couple layers of acrylic and spread it across the nail - which makes it appear 'flat.' It takes skill to build them correctly. And airbrushing the white on? You could train a chimp to do that in about 15 minutes. Thats a really lame way of doing nails. Its cheap looking, and it does not last at all. It will chip off before you know it. It takes absolutely no skill whatsoever to airbrush the white extension onto your nails. And that is why the techs who do this method do it in the first place - because they aren't skilled enough to do it the right way. Go to a good salon with skilled techs. It will cost more, but its well worth it. Your nails will look sooo much better, and they won't be ruined by overfiling them either. Skilled techs do not use Dremels to supposedly 'rough' up the nail plate to apply the acrylic. It's simply not necessary to do so. This method is the only way they know in the 'chop shops.' Avoid them at all costs. Overfiling is what ruins your natural nails, not the acrylic - contrary to popular belief.


Edit: Here is a pic of a properly formed nail. Notice the arch, and the realistic look of the nail? I've seen better nails than this, but this at least gives you an idea of what tolook for in terms of proper nail structure:

Acrylic nails are the most damaging thing you can do for your nails! You should get a gel overlay with your natural nails.


And yes get french.
