An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Liquid nails. Since that redirect redirects here, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion. Powers ^T 12:34, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes I run into article which are stunningly small and proves that Wikipedia does indeed have a huge gender gap! C'est la vie!!! --MurderByDeadcopy^"bang!" 17:13, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the section about the history of artificial nails, there are some facts lacking citations and evidence of it being fact. Article needs more research and accurate facts supported with citations, specifically about women in Greece using pistachio shells. Laurennoble (talk) 23:08, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article's history section is quite small and lacking citations. In order to improve this section it may be wise to discuss the beginning of artificial nails in the United States as well as the evolvement of trends in artificial nails. Laurennoble (talk) 23:12, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shellac is more resistant because it doesn’t let the water enter, but it’s not really recommend by scientist because it doesn’t let the air flow on the nail which makes it blue when removed, many people noticed a change of Colour on their nails when taking them off. What scientist recommend for people that are passionate about doing their nails in a salon is to go for acrylic and gel, which lets the air flow and you can also keep them more than 2 weeks because they stay clean when you make a contact with water because the water enters the holes that makes the air flow.

This looks severely unprofessional and lacks references. A revision by someone skilled in wiki editing would be appreciated.

The OK City Children's Hospital study of 2001 I think it is. It found that HALF of all infant death was linked to nurses fake fingernails. I'd say 50% of all children's deaths should be front and center when it comes to health effects. And for what? A fashion statement? High cost. 124.190.192.47 (talk) 13:35, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:MEDRS. Most medical studies do not meet the bar for inclusion. MrOllie (talk) 13:36, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're also misleading readers by stating that the study definitively said anything when it specifically says this: However, researchers said they cannot be certain that the nurses transmitted the bacteria to the infants. And the hospital pointed out that the babies -- most of whom were premature -- had seriously deficient immune systems, and it said that other problems played a larger role in their deaths.

Hello Danikatm.

I was reading your article about artificial nails and here I state the changes that may improve your article.

First of all, your article has some references at first that are not related to any specific part of the article. I believe you are going to use them later but do not forget to put them in the correct place.

I think the division and the sections that you selected for your article are ok. However, I think that maybe for the organization is a better idea to start with the history first and later you can start with the types of acrylic nails and the health risks that you stated.

I see that you repeated one headline. The Nail Wraps one.

Also, I believe is a good idea, when you are explaining how to remove them, to use a more indirect indication because it seems like is a tutorial and I believe that kind of information is not so relevant to Wikipedia. Maybe you can be more general. Paolaagp (talk) 01:41, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
