When I was younger, my mom told me that I had to wait until I was 15 years old to get acrylic nails. I COULD NOT WAIT. At the age of 20, I am still rocking my nails, and am just as obsessed now as I was when I was 15. However, I would admit even though these nails are a blessing, they can also be a curse. Here is a list of my struggles with acrylic nails, and if you have them too, I am sure you can relate!
1. Dropped some coins on the floor?
Good luck trying to pick them up.
2. You debate ordering anything to eat that is saucy, or is required to eat with your hands.
Because you know you're going to have to spend the next 15 minutes cleaning underneath your nails.
3. Your nails become something similar to weapons.
Because you're always accidentally poking and scratching people.
4. Text Messaging = Typos Typos Typos.
5. One of your worst nightmares is breaking a nail.
6. Then, when that nightmare becomes reality, you stop everything you're doing and book it to the nail shop.
7. Opening up soda cans is a big NO-NO.
8. Attempting to put on a necklace or bracelet with a clasp.
But always failing...
9. Between the all of the boyfriend questions, and the frequent visits you make to the nail shop for a fill-in, you and your nail technician become something like besties.
10. Peeling off a sticker or label is one of the most frustrating and impossible tasks ever.
11. When choosing a color for your nails, you become the most indecisive person ever.
12. When you think your nails are done drying, but you look down and realize that they were not after noticing a smudged nail.
13. When you type something, you always question if you people around you are annoyed with the consistent tapping noise that your nails make.
14. The feeling of a getting a fill-in after a long two weeks is a indescribable feeling.
15. Even though your acrylic nails are on fleek, you can't help but feel a little bad for your real nails underneath.
