Acrylic doesnt ruin your nails a poor nail tech does. As long as you follow the correct aftercare and have them removed currectly you will have no problems. BUT properly applied and cared for extensions will not make your nails any stronger or weaker, it will certainly not ruin your nails <3.

If you’re one of them, these tips from dermatologists can help you reduce the damage: Choose soak-off gel nails instead of acrylic nails. While gel nails can cause nail brittleness, peeling, and cracking, they’re more flexible than acrylic nails. This means your own nails are less likely to crack.

• Gel Nail Extensions: Similar to acrylics, but without any of the toxic methyl methacrylate, gel extensions are a solid alternative.
• Fiberglass Nails: If you bite your nails or have very thin nails, you can still get a thick, healthy-looking mani with fiberglass.

In conclusion, acrylic nails are still the most appropriate choice of artificial nails. Nowadays, nail technicians can put a gel coat on top of acrylics nails to give them glossy looking of gel nails yet still keeps all the pros of acrylic nails.

For those who tend to have oilier nail beds or are just prone to nail chipping, though, gel polish may not last for even two weeks. Simply put, dip powder polymers are stronger than those found in gel polish, and, therefore, dip manicures will generally last longer — up to five weeks, if properly cared for.

“Dip powders are temporarily damaging to the nails as the seal layer of your nails is broken in the process of this type of manicure,” said Josephine Allen, a nail technician a Samuel Shriqui Salon, which also boasts being Essie’s flagship store. “Dip powders also tend to temporally dehydrate the nails.”

Although gel manicures can be beautiful and long-lasting, they can be tough on nails. Gel manicures can cause nail brittleness, peeling and cracking, and repeated use can increase the risk for skin cancer and premature skin aging on the hands.

Dip powder can hurt the fingernails if its chemical solutions are applied carelessly over the cuticles that either are pushed or cut back too far. These two combined factors will cause the liquid dip powder chemicals to penetrate the exposed soft tissues below the cuticles and irritate them.

It usually happens if the nail gets crushed in an injury. It can cause symptoms such as intense pain and throbbing as blood collects under the nail. Unless you also have broken bones or damage to the nail bed and/or surrounding tissues, this injury usually isn’t worrisome.

Vertical cracking occurs when the product is applied unevenly between layers and coats. The angle in which the brush is held plays a critical role: “If the brush is tilted upright and perpendicular to the nail, product builds unevenly and creates hills and ridges, which can lead to cracking,” says Garcia.

Why are my dip nails cracking?

1. Luckily, these problems are very fixable.
2. You are not using activator correctly.
3. If you’re having issues with your dip powder cracking, the easiest remedy would be to add more activator and see if that helps.
4. You are over buffing your dip powder.

Using nail glue from the drugstore or a beauty supply store, you can simply reattach the acrylic to your natural nail at the point of separation. However, it’s crucial to first dip your entire finger in rubbing alcohol, to remove natural oils and bacteria that may have developed in the gap created by the lift.

Unlike regular manicures, dip powder treatments can last up to a month. “Dip manicures are supposed to last 3 weeks, but they may even last up to a month or more depending on the level of at-home care after the treatment is applied.”

Between base coat activator and a topcoat sealant, you dip your nails into a little jar of powder in your chosen color (SNS and Revel are the two most popular and vetted manufacturers) for a mani that could last three to four weeks (with no UV light required).

PROS More bendable nail, which helps resist damage more like a natural nail. Fast-drying with no UV light needed. CONS Dipping your fingertips into the same jar of powder as everyone else is unsanitary. Technicians at nail salons should sprinkle powder on your nails instead.
