Are artificial nails resistant?
Yes, since they are often strengthened with acryl or gel. Nevertheless it is better not to use it as "screwdrivers". If you prefer longer nails, you must deal somewhat more carefully with it. Also it is better to let heavy briefcase fall on the floor than trying to catch it in the flight and breaking the new nails off. Especially for very soft, fine nails is the reinforcement simply ideal, since they actually give the optimal protection to the nailing.
