I haven't seen any topics about this so I thought I'd create a new thread.
I just recently (four weeks ago) got my first acrylic nails. I've a nervous habit of picking at my nails and thus could never grow them out. It's a simple French manicure with a UV topcoat that makes them glow in the blacklights of the club. I've had many compliments on them. My hands are useless now (as anyone in chat can attest) but I am adjusting.
1) Do you find that acrylics affect your money in a gown club? Are they worth the upkeep and hassle?
2) Every week for the past three weeks, one of the nails has broken. Now, I'm very athletic on stage. Plus I'm not used to them, so perhaps it is my fault. But are they supposed to be breaking?
The gal who put them on was excellent, but I've seemed to get her uncle ever since and I'm not enthusiastic about his work. The last time he re-did my nails, the glowing topcoat was very poorly applied and he gave me the fills that later broke. I'm wondering if he isn't quite so good as the first gal, or if I merely need to get shorter nails and learn to be more careful.
