I have had acrylics since forever. It's the only way I can have any kind of nails at all. My nails have always been the kind that peel off layer by layer. No amount of supplements, lotions, nail treatments, or anything would let me grow nails past the the level of the end of my fingers. The first time I got acrylics, I was hooked. I love the way they look.

Occasionally, I have them taken off for whatever reason, but always go back. I know they cost money that I could use for something else, but I'm convinced I'm worth it!
