Yes. Nails need to ';breathe'; and acrylic poisons/suffocates them.





Worse still are ';cheap nails'; if MMA is used, you can even have internal organs damaged.Do acrylic nails really harm your nails?
when i had mine done, then taken off my nails were paper thin and after 4 months of wearing them, it took me a year to get them back to being strong......
All my friends had them too so I had mine done and now they won't grow!!!
Acrylic nails do harm your original nail to a certain extend. Making it brittle and at times stunting its growth. Usually the surface of your nails goes first where because it does not get the exposure it needs it turns to a different shade of color and the surface will have tiny holes that makes your nails easily broken. But there is a preventive measure you can take to prevent this somewhat. Like nail strengthening oil and cuticle oil.It is advice that you do not wear those nails longer than a prescribe amount of time.
yes they do because the nail technicians file down UR nails so they' become really weak
No. Bad nail techs mess up your nails, in any number of ways, usually over filing or applying illegal acrylics (the ones with Meth Methacrylic acid, otherwise known as MMA) Find a good Nail tech, not the ones in the malls.
Yes they can harm you natural nails. you will have to grow your nails out before you got the acrylic off and if you use harm chemicals to take them off your nails will become weak. I advise you not to even bother with them, just beautify your own by spending your money on a manicure or a nice nail polish colour. it will save you money %26amp; damage in the long run. good luck.
they leave dents in yur nail after you take them off and the weaken ur nails.[makes them peel]
I have acrylic nails on and they don't actually harm them.Some people say the chemicals harm them but I think their safe.Just try them and if you like them keep them if not get them removed or take them off.Give it a shot their pretty and if you have short nails it helps them grow right!
ya they do ...they make your nails thinner and when they start growing they chip very easily...sucks but hey we have to suffer if we want pretty nails
No, acrylic does not harm your nails. Sanding your nails harms them!
ya. they will if you use them all the time. but a few times, like, once week wont kill them
They can if you use the wrong things or take them off wrong.
