Hey there,

Does getting acrylic nails damage/destroy your nails?

It's damaging and will make them pretty thin when you take them off, but they will always grow out!

Yes but it won't damage them as much if you go back and then took off instead of taking them off yourself. Gel nails aint as damaging

If you soak them for long enough in nail polish remover they come off easily with minimal damage, just if they seem difficult to remove, soak them for a little longer.

Gel is just as damaging as acrylics, and to me they come off easier. I never break my acrylics, I had gel once and they broke super easy and damaged the same.
