Acrylic will not strengthen your nails. They will add a protective coating to them, but once that is removed, you nails will still be brittle. They will not make the situation any worse, though, assuming you are going to a reputable technician who cares for the natural nail. there are a lot of salons out there who just dont care and end up damaging your nails. ACRYLIC DOES NOT RUIN OR DAMAGE NAILS! If there is damage, it is the TECHNICIANS FAULT! Sorry for yelling, but I get tired of repeating myself :) Anyway, acrylic is a quick fix, but if you are interested in growing your own nails, I would seek out a qualified nail technician, get a few manicures and get some recommendations. Cuticle oil and strengthener are your best bets, but it is hard to recommend one without seeing the condition of your nails first hand.

I think they will look better, but it makes your real nails worse. BUT I don't know much about it, and reading Naildiva's post makes me think differently.
