How Many MyLotters Wear Acrylic Fingernails

I wear acrylic nails. I have since I was 18. I have very weak and brittle nails that don't grow well. In the old days, I used to get the acrylic overlay, where they just put a thin layer of acrylic over your natural nail. But it would break too easily and cost too much to redo all the time. Now, I get the full blown acrylic set. Every three months I have them removed and let my nails "rest" for two weeks. Then I get a new set put on. I find them very comfortable and I feel naked without them. I start off with a very sporty short lenght and let them grown out, just getting fills for the ridges every two weeks. By the time my 3 months are up, they are starting to get too long for comfort. I cannot imagine life without them. I did go almost 2 years without them though. When my son was first born I had them removed. I didnt' want to accidently scratch him or hurt him. Then there was the whole changing diapers thing and that can get really gross really fast with long nails. So I kept them off until he was potty trained. But aside from the short period of time, I have had them continously since I was 18. Thank God, the price has gone down. When I got my very first set, it was almost $75. Very few people did acrylic nails back then. Now, you can get a fresh set for as little as $15 in some areas. HUGE price difference. :)
