Acrylic Nails Destroyed My Nails

This will nourish your nails and promote healthy growth.

Acrylic nails destroyed my nails. It took months for my nails to fully repair from the excessive damage and trauma brought to them by acrylics and Im glad to say that I will never turn back to that toxic. Im sorry to hear about how your nails are ruined because of gel and acrylic nail polish. If you would prefer an at-home manicure simply fill a bowl with warm water and allow fingers and cuticles to soak for at least 10 minutes.

My nail tech pulled out a small rotary drill and ran it over my natural nail before applying the acrylic and using the drill again to shape and smooth the hardened material. Based on these assumptions youll spend 26 hours and 650 annually to keep up your acrylic nails add another 130 if you tip 5 each visit. Get some lovely nail oil and use that daily I tried lots and eventually decided that OPI was the one for me but there are lots out there.

At Vanity Projects a full set costs 75 while a fill-in is 55 in. There I saw my nail beds red like my nails were bleeding underneath my skin. I understand you would have put nail polish on to stop the nail biting or at least to stop you starting again but now you need to be kind to them.

After removing the acrylic a few weeks later my nails were easily chipping. This thins your natural nails making them weaker. The exact cost of a set of acrylic nails can vary based on where you live and the the nail salon but expect to pay over 50.

Look for a cream that has vitamin E. Most acrylic nails need a fill every two weeks. As long as you follow the correct aftercare and have them removed currectly you will have no problems.

Acrylic doesnt ruin your nails a poor nail tech does. Acetone also irritates the skin around the nails and cuticles. BUT properly applied.
