The TALON SALON. What a brilliant name for a nail shop!
Go get your new fingernails and you can run them through your man's hair when he's good. Or you can scratch his eyes out when he's not.

False nails can be either very attractive or extremely hideous. On some women they look classy and on others they look like they have been borrowed from an aging bird of prey.

Are false nails worth the expense? If they look good and add to the general appearance of a woman in a positive way, they are definitely worth the money spent.
False painted nails can enhance a woman's beauty in the same fashion that cosmetics, earrings or hair decorations do.

When the false nails look more like claws, she would be better saving her cash and blowing it on a big box of chocolates. Paying for something that detracts from your appearance doesn't make much sense.
Why not go the whole hog and paint your teeth yellow?

Apart from the cosmetic appearance, one of the major benefits of false nails is the convenience of not having to grow and manicure nails yourself.
Some women begin with the best of intentions to care for their own nails before setting about them with their teeth, chewing them down to nothing.

The actual expense of having false nails fitted and then filled again when required, is a closely guarded secret the womenfolk keep from their husbands.
Most husbands are blissfully unaware of the real cost of having nails done on a regular basis. Even if they did know how much their wives were "squandering" on the fingernails, they probably couldn't say too much, given the money the throw at the golf course.

False fingernails are a must for some women and it is just one of the many fashion items women will gladly spend their money on, along with things like cosmetics, jewelery, handbags, shoes etc.
Nail appointments are non-negotiable!

Whether it's for the convenience or for the appearance, false nails are considered by those who use them as well worth the money. Going out of an evening without their beautifully painted false nails would make some women feel positively undressed. We can't have that!
