 Subject: Gel nails pried offMessage: Help! I just had gel nails removed and the technician PRIED THEM OFF! My nails are sore (it was painful!) and sensitive and have dents in them, not to mention they are paper-thin. I'm hoping they grow back ok, but in the mean time, what can I do to protect my nails? (Has anyone ever had this happen? Do they grow back?) |

You should have came on this site before you had the fakes removed and we would have given you our instructions on how to remove them safely at home or we would have told you to insist that the technician soak them off. In the meantime, you can order and use the Natural Nails Growth Formula sold on this site. Your nails will grow back and recover, but it's going to take a while. |

I agree with Jessica that the Nail Growth Formula would be good to use for growing back healthy nails. BUT, I also know that the first few days afterwards feel awful, like you are walking around wth exposed nerves at the end of your fingers. What I would do, and did do, in the meantime is hydrate your nails well with somethng like olive oil. Massage it in good. Then VERY lightly buff with a fine buffer. If you have a ridge filler on hand, use a coat of that and a couple coats of any clear polish. That will help with the immediate sensitivity and much of that will go away in a few days. Then you can decide what to use. Again, I don't think you'd be dissappointed in the NGF if you decide to order it. |

| Jessica IP: 67.64.146.162 3/15/2006 13:34:44 | RE: Gel nails pried off Message: I agree with what Cheryl said. That's just abuse to do something like that. One of my cousins who gets her nails done all the time told my mom almost the same thing. She said the technician yanks off the old sets of enhancements when it's time for a new set. And if they used a powder with a brush dipped in liquid, it's acrylic because with gels, there's no combining of products. Good thing I'm not ever going to put myself in a situation like this. |
| Jane IP: 67.82.1.117 3/15/2006 19:13:11 | RE: Gel nails pried off Message: I think these were gels. First, I paid about $55 for the set. Also, there was no powder - it was just a clear gel applied to my nails, then cured with a UV light. They did 3 layers of this. Reading a little more about it, I think the gel could have been MMA - the gel container wasn't labeled. The technician barely spoke english, I was wary of the observed sanitation techniques, and I was not impressed by the results. As I am a very active person, I wanted the nails off shortly after I had them put on. At least the nightmare is over and the healing can begin! Never again.... I'm desperate to have my fingernails feel like they did before this whole fiasco. I've found that a strengthening polish is somewhat helping with the sensitivity, as well as continuously moisturizing my hands (Thanks to everyone for being so helpful!). Can the growth formula sold on this site be used in conjunction with nail polish? |

Barb - you are so sweet and humble and I see that you are very kind in your gentle promotion of your Nail Growth Formula product. As a recovering acrylic/gel nail "victim", let me just say that the Nail Growth Formula is THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO MY NAILS!!!! I took my acrylics off during the first week of October. I started using the NGF in January, and because I work full-time and can't have gooey fingers in the office, I really only can apply it once per day, which I do once I'm in bed at night so it has all night to soak in and do its magic. I now have 10 strong, healthy, natural nails. I keep them at "sport" length because I am at a keyboard so much, and I'm also a bit clumsy with my hands sometimes so I bump into things which can cause breakage. I use the buffing cream with the beautiful leather buffer as well, and the little pink ceramic nail file. IT ALL WORKS TOGETHER SO WELL. Anyone considering this product, especially following acrylic nails, will not be disappointed. |
