    Default how often nail fill in?

    How often do you girls have to get your acrylic nails filled in? I just got a new set last Friday the 7th and I need to go get a fill in already. I think my nails just grow faster than normal because they say you should only need get a fill in every 2 weeks. I think I'll just take them off instead of spend 23 dollars plus tip to get a fill in every week and half. That's like 80 dollars a month I'd rather spend on something else.

    I just do my nails myself now, because when I used to get acrylics done, I had to get them filled and repainted every week. It got to be a huge pain in the ass. Sometimes I could make it 2 weeks before I got them refilled, but by that time the paint was chipped or worn off the tips and they looked like crap because they were too long.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    I go every one and a half to two weeks. Yeah, it would be nice to go every week but, like you, I could put that money ($35!) to other uses. They grow out a bit after a week, but really I think I'm the only one that notices. People don't really pay close attention.

    I get them every two weeks but I only do them with french manicure so it's not as obvious when they grow out.

    ^^ Im the same as Bunny. I get my gel nails filled every two weeks... by then its a bit obvious they need to be done but since I get a french with a really nice pale pink top coat it isnt noticeable unless your looking.

    A little OT but kind of the same... I had my gel nails taken off last week to let my nails breath( I had them on about 3 months) how long should I wait before getting them back on? I HATE my real nails, I have to keep them super short because they break by me even pulling out a chair, and I use nail hardener, I just have really soft weak nails. I want my gel back on now but I want to make sure my real nails recover first from the 3 months they were covered.

    I am getting my changed next weekend Cally which will be about 3 months. The lady at the nail salon told me to change them about every three months and I didn't know that but she said water can get trapped in there and cause fungus and that they thicken too with all the stop on top layer after layer.

    I used to get mine filled every other week and airbrushed once a week. Sewing can take quite a toll on your nails and hands.

    It's nice not having acrylics anymore!

    I get mine filled every 2-3 weeks. I also carry cuticle oil in my purse. It's good for your nails and also hides a multitude of sins when your pushing your rebase that third week!

    I grew my acrylics out and will probably never get them again. Too much of a hassle for this girl.

    The way mine grow, every 2 weeks. It varies based on how fast your nails grow.

    Same as Natalia, I get mine filled every 3-4 weeks. It costs too much and it's too much of a hassle for me to go every 2 weeks.

    When I was in HS, I had gel nails and I had to get them filled every two weeks. My mom was saying, "Your real nails are so nice, why do you mess them up with the fake stuff?" and then the woman who normally does my nails even said the same thing to me once in between sets.

    I've been back on my natural nails ever since, getting a basic manicure and pedicure once a month, and doing them myself for the rest of the month. That has saved me a ton of money too since 10th grade.
