Pros and Cons Acrylic nails?

First of all, How do you remove them properly?!?!? And how damaging are they? I want to weigh out the pros and cons.Pros and Cons Acrylic nails?
pros they are very hard, dont break as easily as the gel nail.


cons, SOME people have problems with them, ruin their nails permanently, but thats only some people, not a high percentage, i've had them for years, no problem.


to remove, you should go back to salon, thats the SAFEST way to remove, many people try and take off themselves, and they end up really doing damage, its worth the 10 bucks to have them do it.Pros and Cons Acrylic nails?
PROS-





They look elegant on everyone, especially if you get the plain french tips in a square style.


They make all fingers look long and skinny.


They are usually reasonably priced and last for a long time, if you get them filled.





CONS-





They hurt like a b**** to get off


They break easily if they're not done right


They make your nails weak and ugly when you take them off.





How to get them off:





Go to the salon and ask them to remove them.


If you don't want to do that, soak them in nail polish and gently pull them off.


I'd suggest salon help though.
you remove them using a chemical called acetone and by clipping away at the edges of the acrylic


i wouldn't advise you to get them because they destroy your real nail and it can hurt loads if u break them.


if you're thinking of getting them because u bite your nails it wont stop you from doin this either, it'll just become more of an expensive habit lol


i really didnt get on with them and it took me about a year to get my nails looking nice after i stopped having them done.


im sure some people are fine with them tho, might just be my experience.


if its just for a one off event the glue on nails are good enough, just make sure ur nails have no oil on them before you apply them so they stick properly
you can go to the salon and they will remove them for like 5$ or you can soak your nails in aceton and take them off yourself.


Con-the entire top layer of you real nail is taken off so when you remove them they look unhealthy and gross.


Con-expensive!!!


Pro-really pretty!


Pro-you can change the color tips and get cute designs and sparkles!





If you have the money to maintain them then go for it!


If not you will have them for three weeks and then have ugly damaged nails :(
