Hilary Herrera took to to share why leaving your acrylic nails on after five weeks can cause damage to your natural nails if not removed or redone in a salon.
Ideally nails should be done every two to three weeks but with the average price of £30 means that many people try and stretch out the time of getting them redone.
As posted by leaving your nails on for this amount of time can cause fungal infections to grow.
As the acrylic nail lifts, gaps will be created between the acrylic and the natural nail,this allows moisture to collect and bacteria to grow.
Hilary shares videos on her Instagram platform, which has over 77K followers and educates them on keeping their nails healthy, regarding natural and acrylic nails.
The video, that has over three and a half thousand views, shows Hilary, who left her own acrylic nails on for five weeks talk about the impact this has on her natural nails.
In the video she posts: "My nail is so sore. Wonder why?" and goes on to say "Waited five weeks, look at that growth."
Pressing down on her nail she add: "With pressure watch where it turns white, no support. Watch back here by the matrix (where your nail grows from)."
