What Causes White Spots On The Fingernails?

Hi, I have noticed that my fingernails have white spots and two of them are empty under (fingertip) causing it to lift. It appears to be slowly growing out and not damaging my nails entirely. I use acrylic nails and gel UV light for gel manicures on a regular basis and have stopped since I noticed this about a month ago. Is this something I should be concerned about?
