Your natural nails should have grown out to be the same as before you started the acrylics..I have had acrylic nails for years...I did take them off for a couple of years...I was tired of doing my own and, with the exception of 1 damaged nail that I have which, I have always had, they grew back the same as before the acrylic...I can grow my natural nails pretty long and they are pretty strong but, they peel and that just drives me crazy....plus I'm a picker! if I have a hang nail I pick at it...with acrylic you can't pick anything! LOL
Have you tried a good nail strengther? You don't have to pay alot for one....even Sally Hansen helps to strengthen the nail...also try using an oil on them...olive oil or even baby oil rubbed into the cuticle will help.
