Acrylic Nails....?

I know that acrylic nails make your nail weaker and therefore thinner and almost brittle. If you put them on and keep going to the salon to get fill-ins for a long time is that a bad thing? Could you end up losing your nails in the future?Acrylic Nails....?
no you wont end up losing your nail.... what i suggest to my clients that are loyal acrylic wearers is for them to remove them for a couple of months so that the natural nail can get some air and breath.... then reapply them after a 2 month period that will give your nails time to readjust to having nothing on them and strengthen back up prior to having them reapplied....long term wear of any enhancement will weaken the nailsAcrylic Nails....?
I have had acrylic nails for the past 11 years. I have been going to one of the ';cheaper'; salons for most of that time. It's not the salon or the price you pay - it's the tech. Get one who has lots of experience and know's what they are doing - you should have no problem.
the acrylic itself is not damaging to your nails at all. the damaging part is the fact that the cheap nail salons use drills and take off so much of your real nail to make the fake ones stay on. it gets damaging when the nail plate( the hard part) is being drilled off every two weeks.. some clients come to be with almost holes in their nails becuase of improper applications. if you want acrylics, (which i have on right now) do NOT go to one of the cheap salons where a full set is only like 25 dollars. go to a real salon, pay the extra money, and keep your nails intact
i still wonder why so many people believe that acrylic is so harmful. it's not much more harmful than getting gel nails. it always depends on how good the nail tech is and which productlines he/she uses. the longer you're having your nails done, the thinner your own nail gets. Mostly it's because of the filing of your natural nail and the glue to put on the artificial tip. you won't lose your nails.
