What're your opinions on acrylic nails? Should I try them? I heard they damage your real nails?

They do damage your nails but I love the look of them!! But if your nails grow out fast I don't recommend them because they will grow out.

If it's a big event yes they're adorable! But if you have naturally long nails you can easily make them look acrylic!

I always need to have acrylics on!
My natural nails are short and weak and I tend to always bite them and/or chip the nail polish off. And they don't damage the nail too much! Let them grow about half way before taking them off. Then file them down. That's all.
Below are some of the nails I have had. I always decorate my own nails :) They charge so much if you get them done professionally.

I have had mine done for almost a week & I stop taking my nail vitamins while I have them so they don't grow out fast but as soon as I get them off I let my nails strengthen then do it again I I want!

I don't think acrylics are necessarily bad for your nails because mine look awful no matter if I have had nails on or not. If they are properly taken off, my nails look fine, but if I try to take them off or if they break off I can see the damage. I have had nails on for about three years solid now. Now they are a pain to keep up (after about two weeks they start to grow out) but I love the way they look because my real nails are bad. I keep them very short and they are my real nails with just the acrylic over them. Mine grow slow so I go about every 3-4 weeks or just when I have the time or money to get them done, but I will always have nails on

Every time I've had acrylics, after I've had them taken off, my nails are soft, weak and peel... It's a bit annoying, but they do look really nice when they are on if they've been done properly :) x

I much prefer to have gels rather than acrylics:)
