    Default acrylic toenail problem question

    i've been geting acrylic over my big toe's nail for about a year now, since my nail would always break from being too weak or bending maybe. About a month or two ago, i noticed that while the nail on one foot looked normal, the one on the oher foot looked different. It kinda looked like there was an air bubble under the acrylic or for whatever reason there was space there between the nail and the acrylic. I assumed it was becasue i didnt get them filled soon enough and it was a little loose. But when i asked the nail lady she told me that the issue is that i don't have much of a nail any more, that it has been breaking off! she claims this is from being on high heels for long periods of time and then asked me if i dance a lot. She also claimed that its a common problem, but i'd never heard of that happening. Has anyone had this happen to them? if my nail is for the most part gone wouldnt it hurt? advice please.

    my friend was getting acrylic pedicures for the longest time, she stopped when it literally was making all her toenails break off. I guess it has something to do with the nails not being able to breathe it just makes them even more brittle. Try using some of those nail strengtheners like sally hansens hard as nails they helped for me.

    I have the same problem. Acrylic didn't do anything good for me! Keep your toenails as short as possible, and your big toenail rounded, like the edge hugs as close as possible.

    A girl at my salon was just getting that the other day seemed lilke an interesting idea, but I'm bummed at the results you guys have seen. My toenails are so shitty and small I can't do shit with them so I was considering acrylic, but I guess no more.
