Do you get acrylic nails put on? Do you like them?

I always used to get them, because they are beautiful. Especially since I bite my real nails - acrylics are the only way I have nice, long nails for more than a few days. However, the cost became too high for me to continue. I was paying $40 every other week, and that, to me, is too much for pretty nails.

they are expensive and you have to have them filled in every couple of weeks- my sister does it- and sometimes doesn't have the money to - so she will wait to do it which isn't good cause you can get water under your nails and then get a fungus. I do my own nails (tips) much cheaper- I taught my self many years ago- only costs me about 10.00 every month or so.

hi there, i agree that there expensive, because they are very expensive here, i like them, i think they look lovley when there all nicely done, i want to get them myself but i wouldn't be able to do anything with them on because im used to short nails, maybe one day i wil get them and it's up to you if you want to get them done! :O)

Some people who wear artificial, or acrylic, nails may notice a slight discoloration or coarsening of their natural nails. But a more serious nail problem resulting from acrylic nails is infection. Sometimes a gap develops between the acrylic nail and the natural nail — for example, if the acrylic nail is bumped or jarred, it may separate from the natural nail. This gap provides a moist, warm environment in which bacteria and fungus can grow. If such an infection occurs, the natural nail may become thickened and discolored and should be evaluated by a dermatologist. Rarely, a person may have an allergic reaction (contact dermatitis) to components of acrylic nails or the adhesives used to apply them. This usually results in some redness and peeling of the skin around the nail. If peeling is excessive or persists despite the use of moisturizer on the affected skin, consult a dermatologist. The key to preventing infection and nail damage due to artificial nails is to choose a reputable, licensed nail salon.
