I've been using acrylic nails on 3 fingers of my right hand for 5 years now. I love 'em My nails underneath are strong and healthy, and it's been easy enough to maintain 'em (I go to the nail shop every 3 or 4 weeks). I have no idea what people think when they see 'em - but I don;t usually let 'em grow too long.

They've become important to the way I play.
