Are accent nails out of style?

This might be a very stupid question, but are accent nails “out of style”? I’m trying so hard to think of ways to spice up my plain manicures a bit, but I don’t have the patience for full-blown nail art nor am I typically creative enough to figure out a different design for each nail to make a full set where it’s basically all “accent nails” in a sense…but I also feel like just having that single ring finger accent nail is like…soooo a few years ago 🙄💁🏽‍♀️ (I’m joking…don’t yell at me lol) or am I just totally making that up in my mind? I have all kinds of nail art stuff…basically every color polish under the sun, nail art tools like dotters and brushes, stickers, foil, matte topcoat, chrome powders, you’d think I’d be capable of being a tad more creative with all this stuff! I’ll be doing a milk chocolate type brown, if anybody has ideas for a lost soul😭

Edit: I should add that I’ll do it anyway, I don’t let others determine what I like or not, just curious if there’s any other quick and easy ideas such as that, or a new way people are typically doing them or something that still doesn’t take as much time or skill lol

Looking for Nail strengthener and not the long term kind

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but I figured the polish queens and kings would maybe be able to help me!

I am finally quitting the “g word” on my nails! Yay! But I have a huge issue. My nails are, as expected, paper thin.

Does anyone know of a product that actually adds strength to your nail as a polish? I’ve got nail strengtheners for rehab on deck but I’m looking for something as a defense while these poor things grow out. Something to make them hard and stronger, like a base coat layer…

Let me know if this is all gibberish or if I’m totally out of luck. I just don’t want my nails to rip to shreds while I’m working on rehabbing them.

Thank you!
