Can acrylic nails damage your natural nails in the long term?
I’m asking this question because I have never had acrylic nails applied before.
But I’ve been thinking about getting them done this weekend. I’m just wondering do they permanently damage your natural nails?
And also how hard is it to look after them? Then remove them?
Depending how you get them done, the general and cheapest way is by grinding your nail down a little before they put the tip and acrylic on. If you keep getting them filled (redone/fixed up) you will damage your nails further, but it will just take longer for the roughness/crappy nail to grow out then you are fine and it is gone.
If you break a nail you can always go back to the same salon and have them fix it for a few dollars, and you typically need to get them taken off or filled every 2 weeks, because that’s when they start to grow out and look bad with a space between your cuticle and the acrylic.
To take them off you can go back to your nail salon, they might charge you $5-10. When I was younger I just took mine off, and it was always a mess and looked really bad because it ripped off some of the nail with it. It made my natural nails look gross and paper thin for a few months.
