Here's why:
* Hygiene: Using real nails would be unsanitary and pose a risk of disease transmission.
* Durability: Real nails are brittle and would not hold up to the wear and tear of being used as fake nails.
* Availability: Sourcing enough real nails to meet the demand for fake nails would be impossible and unethical.
Fake nails are typically made from materials like:
* Acrylic: A powder mixed with a liquid monomer to create a hard, durable nail.
* Gel: A UV-cured gel that hardens to form a smooth, glossy nail.
* Polygel: A hybrid of acrylic and gel, offering flexibility and durability.
* ABS plastic: A lightweight, flexible plastic used for press-on nails.
So, rest assured, your fake nails are not made from someone else's real nails!
