I got acrylic tips today and I have no idea how to take care of them. I want them to last as long as possible. What are some things I should and shouldn't do to take care of them? Thanks!

There isn't really anything you can do to take care of them. just try to be as gentle on them as possible. & always be careful when doing any physical activity or when trying to open certain things.. there is no pain quite like ripping off a fake nail >.< lolol.

Try to keep them out of water :) Like doing dishes and stuff wear cleaning gloves, other than that I don't really know!

You will need to get them filled every two weeks or so. When you see your nail growing out from the cuticle it's time for a fill.
I've done my own for years.
If you're using tips just be a little careful when picking things up... if the nail cracks or breaks that's the worst feeling in the world! so painful
other than that you don't have to do much to keep them looking pretty. they're very sturdy

I've had acrylics for a very short time. The things I did badly was attempting to fill my own even though I didn't know how to do them that well. I do the dishes a lot, so the water got stuck in the nails so I had to immediately take them off. So make sure if you want to fill your own nails (because it can get to be pretty expensive) make sure you learn from videos and people showing you how to. I'm looking to get acrylics again. But I'm definitely not going to do what I did before😂
