For what it's worth, I rarely ever get an actual professional manicure. Once in a whole to tidy up the cuticles, but we're talking once or twice a year. My nails are not always long, though I can maintain them for a couple of months before I trim them down and start over. Judging by the YouTube nail art tutorials I watch there are a looooot of people out there with a heck of a lot more skill at nail art than I have, but I still manage things that come out okay. Really, most people doing their own nail art I imagine only expect it to last a week-ish, anyway.
Acrylics and their designs can last longer from what I understand. I don't know though because I've never had them.
