Real v Fake

I have had acrylic nails on and off since I was 16 years old. I can never decide which I like best, and my poor nails pay for it! When I get my acrylic nails applied I always wonder how i lived without them, and then when I have had enough, I rip them off (ouch) and wonder why I ever put my nails through it. 

Just the thought of sitting at a nail salon every 3 weeks to have my nails done bores me to tears.. Not to mention the cost of getting the acrylics done... But then, the end result, lush long, shiny nails.. If you get  a good nail artist that is.. 

Lets not forget to mention how easily real nails can chip, the nail polish can peel, and then you can be stuck re painting them every few days (especially if you clean as much as I do, then real nails are just useless), but lets also mention the joy of growing all your nails the same length, giving yourself a manicure and practically walking around shoving your nails in the face of strangers so they can also appreciate them.. 

Yeah, I know, first world problems.. But anyway, let me know what you prefer.. real or fake?
