Hi
I know this might seem a bit shallow for here, but I don't know where else to ask this.
People in self propelled wheelchairs, is it possible to have nice/artsy nails? Not super long but kinda medium, but with like pattern nail polish and stuff, or does it just chip/break off?
Thank you in advance ^_^

You need "nail envy" by OPI.
The cheapest place to get it is QVC. TV
They have several types and colours.
I surgest "nail envy. Original"
This will give you nice nails -

Hi @GothOnWheels, good question! I'd be interested to know the answer to this myself. Hopefully some of our other community members will be able to help you out with this!

Hello, wearing nails as a manual chair user is rough. Even if it’s just powder or acrylic nails they break and chip very easily. If you wanted those nails specifically I would recommend getting some cheap removable nails to use for you day/night out and then removing them with acetone. I use nails occasionally and pain them weekly. It’s VERY hard to keep them kept especially if you are independent and with out a caretaker for minute to minute tasks. Also nails that are extended pose a risk for rectal fissures when doing BP, so def recommend removable. I know it’s not ideal but if you really want them I would not plan on trying to get them for a few weeks. I think the longest I’ve gone without a cracked acrylic pain on real nails is 4 days
