Hi Terri, this may be really a result of your natural nail growing or it may be because of the technique your manicurist had used. You had better consult with another manicurist and consider removing your artificial nails.

Hi, I had my nails done, then went in for the 2 week follow up and noticed that my natural nail appears to be lifting up at the tip. I asked about this and was told it was my natural nail growing but that is not what it looks like. It looks like my nails are lefting off the bed. What should I do?

I am allergic so far to gel nails and acrilyic nails and still seek alternative solutions. Local nail salons not helpful.

Yes, hi! I was wondering what to do if the white part of the french manicure has discolored. There was something I read somewhere using some house chemicals to return it to white, but I can’t remember what those chemicals were. Can you help me out?

I got artificial nails for the first time and am VERY disappointed in the manicurist, and the result. I asked her which nails would NOT destroy my nails, and expected an honest answer, she gave me gel nails… This involved sanding down my natural nails (so low i almost bled, and am now very sore) and sticking fake tips on, and then filling in the rest with gel. I found this very painful, and she did a very poor job. The tips are crooked, different thicknesses(for french manicure, the white part is different sizes), and the gel is full of bubbles. She also slipped while sanding the gel and cut my cuticle BADLY, and thus i was bleeding all over. She painted the cut over with some clear nail polish to make it stop bleeding! The whole time i was insisting on leaving and getting it finished somewhere else, and she refused to let me leave. I will NEVER go there again.. or Never get my nails done again.

Hi Jamie,

it`s up to you. If your nails are healthy and look healthy it won’t be wise to have your nails done – artificial nails can make your nails looking even better but at the same time they can make your nails weaker.

Hi. I am thinking about getting my nails done for the very first time but completely unsure of what to get. My nails are naturally long, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dear Jennifer,

It seems that it is an allergic reaction ??“ blisters and itchiness. Unfortunately you should restrain from wearing acrylic nails for a few months. I wouldn??™t recommend you to wear any type of fake nails ??“ give your nails a rest for a while. The best thing you can do now is to visit a manicurist to keep your nails at good shape. Do a Vaseline hand-mask regularly in order to nourish and moisturize your hands and don??™t forget to use a hand cream every day.

My acrylic nails have accidentally pulled off. I tried to glue it with a household glue. And I just found out from this article that I should never do that. So, what will happen to my nails? Can I still remove the acrylic nails from my fingers?

Hello Dear,
My advice is to go immediately to the nearest beauty salon and consult a manicurist or a dermatologist. It sounds like a typical allergic reaction to acrylic nails, thatвЂ™s why itвЂ™s crucial to remove the fake nails as soon as possible otherwise the problem may worsen. DonвЂ™t remove the nails by yourself вЂ“ it may be very painful if a serious allergy is present.

Always remember that every beauty procedure, treatment, beauty products etc. have their own risks.
Regards
