I have never had them done and i was wondering if they were good or not and maybe if there was other kind of nails out there?

Yes! Unless you work with your hands! Then they will constantly break off.

I've had mine done on and off since I was 16 and have had a set for the past 3 years just take them off every 4 months to let my nails rest

I have them and love them I took them off for a few months because I got sick of my stepdaughters constant obnoxious comments about them but I missed them and I don't think I'll take them off again constantly doing your own nails is a pain in the ass. You can function just fine with them once you get used to it!

Yeees! I love my acrylic nails! And I would give it a try and if you don't like them just let them come off or you can always remove them!

acrylic is very damaging to your nails. Go to the nail salon and get a gel shellac manicure it lasts at least 2 weeks.

Yes. As long as you don't plan to have them for just one day, because they do not come off easily and can ruin your nail underneath! Do NOT get ones where they glue on the tips. They are horrible! I get mine actually sculpted so I suggest going to a certified nail tech vs. the places In the mall.

NO. They will continually ruin your nails. Resort to shellac. It's the best!

I love fake nails , but not acrylics !! They will ruin your nails and hurt when they break off. I use press on no one can tell the difference and it doesn't kill my nails as bad as acrylics do!

NO!!!! They damage your real nail and when you decide to paint your real ones after taking them off they look all bumpy

I think for special occasions they can be nice but or everyday go with a shellac. It's healthier for your nails and more natural looking
