On any given day, beauty blogger Amelia Perrin has nails so well-kept it appears they demand their own groomer, cleaner and personal chauffeur.
A quick glance at her Instagram and you’ll be faced with a litany of carefully curated images, her perfectly cut and painted acrylic nails making my own seem like abandoned children desperate for the kind of attention I usually reserve for my hair.
They look a little like this:

Key word here is she RIPPED them off! Of course that will damage your natural nails!!!!!!!
I'm so glad it mentions she ripped them off. I'm a nail tech. Acrylic is designed to create a bond with the nail plate, so of course it will take layers of nail with it if ripped off. Same goes for any sort of professionally applied nail coating. That's why it's so important to get them removed by your nail tech as there is a proper removal procedure that prevents this from happening. Acrylic nails 100% do not ruin natural nails, if they're ruined either the technician has incorrect prep techniques (filing the nail paper thin is just not necessary!), or they've been picked, peeled, scraped or ripped off.
