They don't ever 'fall' off (that would be fake tips). Acrylic is adhered to your natural nail and either needs to be removed or grown out with your natural nail. To grow them out would take about 6-8 weeks.
Acrylic can chip around the edges, but when properly maintained, the ridge (created as the nail grows out) can be 'filled' about every two weeks to keep them natural looking.

A week or longer but less than a month.

Sometimes they lift or they break off , i.e. slammed nails in drawer. Otherwise , they grow out with your own natural nails. If you wait past ~3 wks, they look awful. That's why no one waits til they "fall off".
by Keysha on April 26th, 2009
Whatever you do, DON'T pull them off. The acrylic adheres to the top layer of your natural nail, and, when it comes off (unless it loosens on it's own), it rips the top layers of your natural nail off, leaving your nails weak.
They do last for a long time. I've had mine on for about 3 weeks, and they are growing out. I buffed the ridges down on mine, because I don't want to get them again. I only got them in the first place because I had a nail split down about half way, and would not grow out, it kept splitting. This protects the nail until the split grows out. (not recommended, as the chemicals hurt like h*ll!)

I can honestly say that idk...I've had the fake plastic ones on but I peel them off after a while because they bug me...

They really aren't supposed to fall off. They are supposed to be on your nail permanently until you go back to the salon and have them taken off (or you could rip them off yourself at home, but that hurts a lot).

Hi LM :)

Thanks LMD. I did make a bet against someone but I don't expect to lose to her. If I lose I have to get them though. Didn't realize they lasted so long.Maybe shouldn't have made it. Too late now.
by Sosueme on April 27th, 2009
Oh you're going down! I have them to keep my nails from breaking. If you get them, take (and post!) pictures moonchild :)
by Little Miss Dangerous on April 27th, 2009
LOL, when I win, I will send you all the funny photos LM ;)
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on April 27th, 2009
You guys are mean. I got sandbagged on this one. (If I lose)
by Sosueme on May 31st, 2009
Aww Sosueme, you know I'm never mean!
by Little Miss Dangerous on May 31st, 2009
I am ! lol
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on June 1st, 2009
And that is why YOU will take the pictures ;)
by Little Miss Dangerous on June 1st, 2009
Camera on standby..just hope I dont forget to take the safety cap off first,haha!
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on June 1st, 2009
She'll forget:) Or she won't have the battery charged:)
by Sosueme on June 1st, 2009
Hey! you know me too well Sosueme...but the battery is always charged just in case ;)
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on June 1st, 2009
Go Moonchild go! Because a woman never knows when a man might tick her off and she might need those batteries :)
by Little Miss Dangerous on June 1st, 2009
Haha! LM..the vibrator...uuuummm sorry....the respirator is charged !
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on June 1st, 2009
Moon, I meant the camera battery.
LMD, there's actually a worse part to the bet aside from the stupid nail thing. If I lose that one game, I'm in deep sh&$. But then again, so is she if she loses that one game of ten.
Moon, who is going to need a respirator?
by Sosueme on June 1st, 2009
I'm counting on you both to keep me posted. I may get entertainment value out of this either way :)
by Little Miss Dangerous on June 1st, 2009
I would say that you will Sue!!
Pics will be posted LM :)
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on June 2nd, 2009
And I will sue if I lose....I'll come up with the legal strategy of severe emotional distress due to the fact that I can't get into AB because I can't type with lonf nails:)
by Sosueme on June 2nd, 2009
You wont need ab with those nails, you will be too busy scratching my back ;)
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on June 2nd, 2009
No, I'll have it stuck up your butt, and those nails will hurt.
by Sosueme on June 2nd, 2009
Ouch!! the thought hurts...your just an old pervert ;)
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on June 2nd, 2009
First off, I'm not that old. Secondly, I was acquitted of those pervert charges:)
by Sosueme on June 2nd, 2009
Firstly, yes you are old and secondly that`s what they all say!! :)
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on June 2nd, 2009
...and why do I now feel like a voyeur at a private S&M gathering? lol
by Little Miss Dangerous on June 2nd, 2009
LMD: You will not be getting pictures of that:) I will however be happy to send you naked pictures of Moonchild)
by Sosueme on June 2nd, 2009
Sosueme...you dont have any so dream on my little nutcracker :)
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on June 2nd, 2009
