Nails
(17/F) Okay, I had arcryllic nails put on for prom and I just took them off because they were starting to come loose. Anyone who's ever had nails put on knows how crappy your real nails look after the fake ones come off.. My question is.. Is there any way to make my nails look less damaged? Is it safe to file away the jagged edges on the surface of my nails? They look sort of raggedy. I don't know how else to describe it. Any advice that you have to offer will be greatly appriciated. I rate 5's for good advice.

Yes, this always happens to me. If you don't feel like going out and buying expensive stuff to fix it, here's what I do. Just put one of your fingers in a nail polish remover bottle (the kind where you twist your nail in the sponge) and keep it in there for about 3-5 mins. each, twisting your finger around. And most of the glue and crap will come off. Well, I hope this works! Good luck! ♥ Erin

I have a buffing block and cuticle oil for this. you can buy one at the mall, or even the cosmetic isle at a grocery store. i took of my acrylicss last weeked and even tho my nails were horrible, i cut them and buffed them and rubbed cuticle oil into it. if u dont have these now, scrape the surface of your nails with a file until its smooth and use any kind of oil or lotion or pretroleum on your nails. I used nail hardener on afterwards so my nails wouldnt break. Clip your nails weekly and after a wile they should be healthy again. Painting your nails a dark color would hide it but it woulnt make that scruffy flaky part of your nail any healthier, but nails are keratin, so its all dead anyways. I doubt painting them would effect your incoming nail growth at all.

hey, yes i know exactly what you mean. i have acryllics on almost all the time. i use nails clippers (not scissors) to clip of the eges because the file is sometimes painful and make break the nail. i don't use any polish because the chemicals in it, i dont think you nails need anymore. i just let it get back to normal in a healthy way.

You could file away your jagged parts or clip your nails off with nail clippers. Then put a coat of hard as nails or strong nails (some product that will make your nails stronger). You can buy a product like this in your local drug store or salon. Also, you could also get a manicure, but don't get acrylics this time. Hope this helps.
