I found this .......
Acrylic nails look lovely! ...But they do damage your nails,all the chemicals and oxygen,dirt and anything gets underneath,you cant help it but oxygen bubbles get trapped in between the nail bed and the acrylic nail. When you remove the acrylic nails there tends to be an uneven surface of the real nail. I'm not going to suggest not to get them done as i have done and probably will,when the occasion needs to be but do not leave them on all the time. They are very hard to upkeep as you need to get infills every 2 weeks,roughly. I suggest you wear them for special occassions but not as a permanant fixture of yourself! Every couple of months or whatever,give your nails the same time (at least) break from acrylics. This will also be good for your bank balance too as they can be expensive. I'm a beautician and recommend that you get a professional manicure evry so often. They can make your nails look great.
Have Fun with your nails and experiment with what you like best,some people say gel nails are better for your nails but its up to you and the condition of your nails. Have a look once you've had them a while and if they feel weak/damaged etc then use your own judement as to whether to keep them or not.
Hiya This is something i found on a website........can someone please explain what she means by oxygen bubbles getting trapped...??????????? Surely if applied properly nothing can get inbetween....
The Damage nails bit is just typical of untrained people..... will we ever get rid of this stigma....xxx
