Acrylic Nails Destroyed My Nails

A manicure after removal.

Acrylic nails destroyed my nails. Wow then you are really lucky i had one application and my nails were almost totally destroyed. Acetone-based nail polish removers contain strong solvents that strip away the natural oils in the fingernails causing them to become brittle and dry. 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.

I tried 3 different home remedies to make my nails stronger and to keep them healthy. All those years Id thought stress was making me destroy my fingertips but like most kinds of anxiety it was a self. My nails were left extremely thin brittle and prone to breakage when I got rid of them.

Acrylic doesnt ruin your nails a poor nail tech does. Apply a cuticle cream to your fingernails every night. You should try it and i hope it will help.

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. The list of health risks doesnt end here. Personally one of the worst parts of having acrylic nails was the effect it had on my nails when I decided to take them off.

She repeated this about 4 times. Dont panic you havent ruined your nails BUT you have been very unkind to them. As long as you follow the correct aftercare and have them removed currectly you will have no problems.

It is important that the acrylic nail is removed properly. Synthetic nails are nails that are created through a combination of acrylics and urethane. Im sorry to hear about how your nails are ruined because of gel and acrylic nail polish.
