Are acrylic nails good?

Should I get acrylic nails?


I am an 12 year old girl.


And I want to get them.


I am very active and play sports.


Do they ruin your nails?


How much??Are acrylic nails good?
I know they look tempting, because they are so attractive, but they are damaging to your nails in the long run. As well, if you are active in sports activities, it is even more likely that if you bang them, that your actual nail bed would be injured as the artificial nail is less flexible than a natural nail. Plus, they are expensive to get and maintain. Besides, natural nails look great, especially if you keep them looking nicely groomed, even if they are short!Are acrylic nails good?
i'm 12 too and i wanted to get them but they are very bad when they put them on they file your real nail and make it thinner and they put this really strong glue on them when you finally take them of it hurts soooooo bad and your real nails are as thin as a piece of paper. don't get them
well they will ruin ur nails, if u just want nails for a special occasion use press ons ( they don't mess ur nails up) I suggest go au natural if u play sports... nails that come off hurt
They're about $25 and they can ruin your nails if you get them all the time, but they are very pretty. If you play sports though, it could be very possible for them to break easily. You wouldn't want that!
no yes and 40.00
get gel nails.





50.00





looks totally real (acrylics look SO fake)





the only fake part is the tip. the rest is a special gel painted over it.





need to be redone every month or so





not as thick as acrylic nails





they dont break easily (im a soccer keeper and mine are all still on)





they do make your nails slightly thinner, but if you get the gel nails off you can just use a thickening polish and your nails will be back to normal.





they dont hurt when they fall off at all. it just feels like you peeled nail polish off of it or something.





I LOVE MY GEL NAILS! they're the best thing you'll ever get
theyre alright i just like manicure now if i choose to get acrylic i like them short and natural looking just becaue the polish last longer
No They Are Fine .. Jus Dont Bang Them Whilst You Are Playin Sport!
They do ruin your nails. But eventually your natural nails will grow back. They break, and if you play sports, I would not get them . They take upkeep and are not something to just get and have one time. The Average cost is about 30-40 dollars. You have to go back every two weeks or so to get them re-done. Just to get them redone is about 20 dollars. Do you, at 12years old have 40 dollars to blow or the time to take care of them ? I wouln't get them until you were a bit older. And not playing sports
Yes they do ruin ur nails because of the glue and they can range frm $40.00-$80.00
they look pretty but i think for ur age and even mine [im 13] is too young. if u get them done its really going to make u look fake. and its not a good idea if u play sports especially if u play basketball. i got them done once [for a wedding] and they were like $25 they can be up to like $40 i really didnt like them and i took them off the next day, it kind of left my nails thin and ugly when i took them off so i guess it kinda ruins your nails but not that much. i rather use some cute nail polish and paint my nails rather than getting plastic glued to them but thats just me if u really want to get them then go ahead but i wouldnt recommend it
no they hurt
Okay first off your 12. People who get acrylic nails get them b/c they are old and can't store enoough iron in there body and so it leads to their nails cracking. If you get the nails your nails we trun to be ery weak and plus you play sports. so it is pretty much a bad idea. they are 27 to get them on and then every week they are 25 to maintain them.
wait till your older
Twenty Dollars and you have to get them done every month. If you play sports I would get them short. Otherwise they are really cute, and they don't damage your nails.
first i wanna tell you something about acrylic nails:::


Acrylic nails are basically made by mixing a particular powder and liquid. The best liquid that can do no harm should contain Ethyl Methacrylate, also called EMA. This is slightly expensive.


However, a cheaper option is Methyl Methacrylate or MMA, but is known to have certain harmful effects. The only reason it is preferred while preparing acrylic nails is because of its cost effectiveness.


Amongst its side effects are serious skin reactions and deformities in natural nail growth.Keeping this in mind, it is better to pay extra and get acrylic nails can do you no harm at all. Most nail technicians do believe that an artificial nail should not be treated differently from the natural nail. This is because any damage caused due to the fixture of acrylic nails could lead to unwanted problems for natural growth of nails.








but i personally feel there is no need of it, yeah you can fix it while party when you wanna look the best. so its upto you dear.





it would cost you around 40.
