Got the pink and white nails and am never going back...to the plain old nails! I love my pink and whites!!
“Pink and White” refers to the use of two colors of acrylic applied to the nails to produce a more permanent, natural-looking “French” manicure look.
OPI calls this the dual-tone nail.
The tips of the nails are sculpted using white acrylic.
The base of the nail is then overlayed with warm or cool pink, depending on your skin tone.
OPI’s Competition Formula 3000™ is the only acrylic product that allows your nail technician to customize the shades of pink and white used for the most natural looking dual-tone nails.

I used to do those nails for people. They take longer but they do look nice. Oh, and an added benefit that you may not know, OPI uses something in their product that keep it from yellowing over time or in the sun. No other brand does that. Enjoy your pretty nails!

Whevever I see them I get jealous. I use to get them for years!! My dd called me boring because thats all i use to get...but I stopped for 6 months now to save $. It was costing me between $80 -$100 a month! And not to mention time.
But I do miss them!

I had them and loved them but then I couldn't keep up and wanted to take them off. What a freaking nightmare!! Since then my nails are au naturel....

I wish I could do them, but with my job, fake nails are not allowed, so I have to do my own. They do look so nice though, those frenches.......enjoy them!

Okay, but tell me, am I weird because I think this is really unattractive (the length of the nails):

To me, those are more like vicious claws than pretty, graceful fingernails... KWIM? Do people really get nails done that long?

Well, not quite "clean and fresh," although they look it.....

Yea, I'm just bitter cause I love the look and I can't have them. :) But it's good to know the risks.

oops, I missed the word "look" in my post. I know they harbour grunge...I get my done every 10-14 days though so I trick myself into thinking they are not that dirty.

As long as they are well taken care of, that helps greatly, and it sounds like you do. It's more if they lift up, etc, that things can get in there. Like I said, I am just bitter, although especially considering the first article, I can TOTALLY understand why I can't have them.
When I do my own, I often have people tell me they look fake, anyway, one of my patients even commented once, "I thought nurses weren't supposed to have fake nails?" So I guess I am doing ok with the DIY french manicures! LOL!
