Are Acrylics safe for your nails? How much damage would they do?

Question

I was just wondering if I should get acrylics done to my nails? My mom keeps warning me about how they're going to damage my nails because I have such beautiful nails anyway, but recently my nails have been breaking badly and I want to enjoy my time with nails because in the future I'm not going to be able to have long nails because I want to be an OB/GYN. I'm also in a health academy at my high school so in a few months or so, I'm going to have to cut my nails short anyway. Should I get them? Are they worth it? Feel free to comment down below!! Thanks

Answer

I guess it depends. Like they are SO bad for your nails and everything yet its addicitive to get them cause they look nice! Only reason why i get them is cause i cant grow my own as im a nail biter and mine are naturally weak. 
But its up to you its bo harm in trying for a one time thing

Answer

You can still get them done. For a short period of time they might damage your nails but it's not like it's permanent or that bad honestly. I'd get them done still, I love how they look!

Answer

I get gel nails all the time! I LOVE them! I even had them for my clinics while I was becoming a Nurse! Also it completely depends on the person you are for me there make my nails a little weaker but they haven't broke or split in half, however for my friend it happened to her haha. Give it a try! Plus I love them too because I'm really bad about biting my nails and with gel I don't but them because of the money I paid for them! Hope this helps
