I had acrylic nails about 3 years ago, had quite a few problems with losing a nail here and there all the time but continued for 6 months. By then I have had enough and my natural nails too, they were extremely weak and it took me ages to grow them again, taking vitamins etc and applying nail hardener and all this. I suppose I never had strong nails to start with and artificial nails just aren't for me. I suggest that you check your natural nails whenever you get the opportunity, technology advances quickly these days and wearing falsies might not be so damaging to some nails anymore as it was 3 years ago.
