But if you have ripped your acrylics off causing the natural nail to thin, then you might want to harden the nails back a bit as acrylics will just be more stress on top of damaged nails. Meanwhile you could apply nail hardener once a week to strengthen the nails up a bit, and cuticle oil every night to nourish the cuticles and promote healthy nail growth.
