Pros:

1. You don’t have to worry about having chipped nail polish.

2. The paint is always smooth and shiny.

3. You can make that fun clicking noise when you type on your laptop, phone, etc. 

4. People will comment on how cute they look.

5. You can change the shape and/or length anytime you go in to the salon to get a fill.

6. They make you feel cute and confident!

 

 

Cons:

1. They can be expensive.

2. You have to get them filled every two or three weeks.

3. When you break one, it HURTS.

4. They start to look bad a few days before its time for a fill. 

5. If you don’t get a clean set often enough, mold or fungus can grow between the acrylic and your actual nail. 

6. Once you decide you don’t want them anymore, it takes a while at the salon to get them off.
