Oh for sure they are damaging because they even rough up your nails to apply them. You can't get them regularly or they will weaken your nails. I just get them for special occasions like rush and breaks and vacations when I don't want to be bothered with a manicure. Some girls still do French or American but personally I like a pretty neutral natural color. I think some French manicures look ridiculous depending on who does them.
