I tried the acrylics about 25 years ago - had them for a couple of years, and was delighted with how elegant they made my hands look.

But they kept lifting off -- I guess my real nails were too thin? -- and when that happened, a thin layer of my real nail would be removed in the process.

The end result was that my real nails got too thin and fragile to handle the acrylics. I had to stop the manicures.

It took awhile for the nails to start growing out naturally again - and since then, I just live with short nails.

Sigh! I did LOVE the look of the acrylics! smile
