Acrylic Nails: the Truth

Posted by Perry Uwanawich on

    I, not knowing my nails would instantly be destroyed, thought I’d get stiletto nails or “claws” for Halloween last year…cut to 8 months later, my nails have finally grown out and healed. 

   You can see why I’ve kept them polished: that’s black polish stuck in the layers, yes layers, that chipped and peeled off. This is the ruins of a professional job, so be forewarned, acrylic nails will destroy your nails. 

   I wanted to have them removed, but my nails were so paper-thin and frail, I had to keep acrylic on them until they grew out a bit, so it’s a whole weaning-off process: don’t do it.
