I got tired of acrylic nails
I’ve been wearing acrylics for YEARS but I’m so fed up with them. It bothers me to see my nails growing so long underneath the acrylics just to get them cut down for tips. & tbh the estheticians I choose to do my nails don’t care enough about the health of my real nails. They’d pry old sets
