I would actually suggest getting them specifically for this reason. My nails are super brittle and flimsy like paper and will break down to nothing so easily but I got acrylics for years (now I do hard gel bc it holds up better against the chemicals I use in my job) and it was the only way I could grow my nails out. Now I can do anything w them and theyโ€™re all my natural nails, no tips at all!

I also did it bc I used to pick at the skin around my nails reallyyyyy bad but getting my nails done made them thicker and less sharp and I didnโ€™t have the ability to obliterate my skin anymore lol, so itโ€™s definitely helpful! Getting my nails done is like the one thing I splurge on regularly to feel feminine and pretty
