Ny gal and u’ve never had acrylic nails?? 
acrylic nails just look really pretty, i think the white-tip/french looks so nice against the dark mehndi and churiyan and all 
they are kind of uncomfortable tho but after a few days when the wedding and stuff is over u can just go to the salon and get them taken off again.
I wear contacts too, what i wud do was put the contact at the sie of my fingertip.. if that makes any sense?? also, if it’ll be ur frist time, get them at a length that will look nice but not be completely uncomfortable!
