I have been using it for years. My nails would always crack,. peel and split. Since I have been using it my nails are great.

My nails are the length of yours. It is hard to keep them clean and filed, but I do. I garden almost everyday during the warm seasons. I always had nice long manicured nails until I learned to love gardening an quilting. LOL! They don't botter me while hand stitching or quilting at all.
My friend next door is a quilter and she has the acrylic nails. She doesn't like to do much hand work though. My friend in california who is a quilter also has the acrylic's and she does applique beautifully.

I just cut 2/3 of my nails off and they are down to your lengths now, mine grow very fast and do not chip until they get too long. I do not hand quilt, but they are handy for hand sewing. AND my grandsons love to play with my nails when they are longer while watching tv on my lap...it's better than a fidget stone :lol: :lol: :lol:

My nails are weak and break just about the time I think they look good. But I do hand quilting with a thimble and occassionally use a nail to get in a position that I can't get the thimble into. I am left handed and use my right thumb and forefinger to rock the fabric after I guage the stitch length with my thumb! :?
