Michelle, I'm glad you're enjoying your new nails!
I can't stand the weight of polish on mine, so know acrylics aren't for me. They look nice, but I can't imagine being able to wear them long term.

I've always had really strong hard nails, so never needed the fake ones. For the last 6 months or maybe a little longer...they are not as strong and after they grow out just a little ways from the tips of my fingers...are starting to grow downward. Does anyone know what this may be a sign of? I've tried checking on the Internet, but I don't find any information. If I ever did decide to get fake nails, I know I would never get the squared off ones like in the video posted above. In my opinion, those just do not look natural at all. I would prefer the rounded ones better.

Mine were squared when she first did them. After that she rounded them. I can't stand the square look either. After my own nails start to grow out I am going to get her to put a thin layer of clear acrylic on them to make them really hard. I don't have any paint on them at all. I really love the natural look. I have only had them a few days and I can't imagine not having them! They make my hands look SOOOOO much younger. I couldn't ask for more! LOL

So glad you are enjoying them. When you said your fingers were short, Iwas going to suggest that they round the nails. That's what they did for me when I had mine, because my fingers are short also. Squared make them look shorter and rounded made them look much more feminine.
Enjoy!!!!!

I'm so physical...working with my hands in the house and in the yard..that I don't think they would last long on me. I probably would have to try them in the wintertime I think.

I've had my acrylic nails for a few years now and I have to say they are sooooo strong! I do a lot of yardwork and my hands are always in water and I think I've broken maybe one nail in a year. They're my own nails covered with the acrylic so I don't know if that's why they're so strong. I have the permanent french manicure and I get them done like every 6-8 weeks. I used to have LCN gel nails but I hated them. They would crack, split and break alot! Sometimes I want to let them grow out and go natural again but my husband really likes the way they look and it's a little splurge I do for myself.
