 Subject: detached from the nail bedMessage: Hi I used acrylics for one year then because I hated the filing down process and thining I switched to stick ons and glue for 12 months. I'm now in month two of naked nails !! Some of my nails are still detached from the nail bed so I have to apply nail polish to help disguise the opaque look. Luckily I didn't get fungal infections but I hate the look of too much detached nail and wonder how I can assist the reattachment. I still have to keep them ridiculously short because they are so thin and they split. Please advise me :-) |

Acrylic nails took longer to become popular in Australia than they did in England and the USA. So not much around to repair the nails after one gives up on acrylic. I'm a bit confused, about the nail bed taking time time to grow out completely. At the moment, my nails reach almost to the tip of the fingers. Do I have to wait for the new nail to grow from cuticle to the tip of finger before it is likely to look attached? Thankyou for your help. |

As for my nails, well in the end it was my horrified son ( a newly graduated doctor) that explained to me about the damage I was doing. He said they couldn't recover properly from the acrylic process if I covered them with the stick on nails because water gets trapped underneath and keeps them soft. So I threw them out too. So good to hear that others have recovered from this. I'm the only one who manicures my nails now and I intend keeping it that way. Shame about keeping polish off, but I understand. Can't wear my gorgeous big rings at the moment either because they look stupid with short ugly nails. Thanks again Cheryl. :-) |

I've been applying one of the few products we can get here, but it really is a coating that makes the nail feel firmer. It should only be on your nails for 5 days then you are supposed to rest them, so I took it off before work today, and one of the short nails snapped. The product is called Revitanail ( made by Private Formula, Dr Lewwin)we can now get the good Doctors products in chemists wheras for a long time they were mail order. Revitaoil is its partner product and I use that too. But the nails are ridiculously thin and break so easily without protection on them.Can't wait to begin my new regime. :-) |
