Nail and Creative Acrylic Nails

Acrylic nails are a great option for someone who has a habit of biting her nails or for those who have trouble growing their nails.

You will need to get them touched up every couple of weeks for chips, scratches and loosening glue. If the glue starts to become loose you need to get the nail re-applied or it will fall off. Of course, this is bound to happen at the most inopportune time. It is a classic example of Murphy's Law.
