Just had my nails professionally done for the first time at a salon in town a little oriental man did it like an artist acrylic and extended, I wasn’t sure how the process was done but was surprised by the skill involved, Since HR I had had much softer nails I’ll never do my own again, I find wiping my arse breaking pills in half playing piano and typing to be a bit challenging. |

I definitely found the same thing with my nails and HRT. They’re paper thin now and break if I even look at them.
One thing I found just to be wary of with acrylics is to give you naturals a break in between treatments as they got worse over time , kind of a catch 22 
Hope you enjoy them though, I love having mine done occasionally  |

Have you tried biotin? It should strengthen nails and hair
I take it and It seems to help a bit
My nails are quite robust luckily, tho occasionally break after a certain length (thumbs seem to split in middle horizontally . And vertically the other fingers. So annoying when that happens) |

I haven’t , thanks I’ll look it up.
I was taking calcium supplements for a while but it didn’t seem to have any effect |

I used to have acrylics many years ago then switched to gel. Totally ruined my nails though
Kept them very short for 6 months to let them strengthen & they seem to be ok again now.
I hope you had a pretty colour?
