Have you tried gel nails? Many acrylic related allergies are from the primer. You can develope an allergy at anytime no matter how long you've had acrylics. The bonder that is used with gel nails is acidfree. If it is the nail glue that you are allergic to, have your tech put on an overlay of gel or sculpt the enhancements, dont use tips.

After a manicure and fill with gel nails or acrylic, my fingers sting all around the nail and are extremely sore and itchy. Do you think that this is the acetone polish remover or the acrylic in the product?

It is more than that. Acetone is not the issue with the application of these things. Please do some research here and read some of the posts on the forum and all will become clear. The product is MMA and it is detrimental to your general good health. Acetone is the only thing that will remove the nasty little buggers. And this problem will not get better with time here, it will increasingly get worse. You need to remove them ASAP.

Somewhere on here I posted my nightmare experience with acrylics. I'm coming to the realization that most things in life that are artificial are not good. Not all things, but most things... especially acrylics. The damage they do to your nails just putting the things on is horrible, then week after week, month after month... it's not good. If at all possible, try going the natural route. NGF is awesome!! I have been using it for 1 month now and highly recommend it. I'm thinking of giving a kit to my daughter for Christmas. Heck, maybe my mother too!

Oh Mandy...take them off!!! I too developed the red itching, burning redness around my nails/cuticles after a fill. I also developed nasty nail infections. I was allergic and it only continued to get WORSE. Give Barbara's product a try..I'm still waiting patiently for my kit to arrive. I took my acrylics off in April and have managed to finally grow my natural nails back, it took months though. I'm hoping NGF will strenghten and thicken my nails . Good luck.

Purple, Mandy and Sidney, I developed some kind of reaction with the acrylic nails (now, I'm talking over 20 years ago) where my nails became heated, so much so, the manicurist could not buff my nails with the file because my nails were actually "hot". I told her she should be on this side of the nails. I took them off, and I never had good nails before the acrylics and after, well, you all know about that.
For the first time in my life I have nails that are substantial (not feeling like pieces of tissue paper attached to the top side of my finger tips), and it's because of NGF. My nails are denser, the ridges are disappearing, my nails are growing, and they are HEALTHY, not just in looks.
If you are allergic to the acrylics and the products to keep them on your nails, PLEASE do yourselves a favor, take them off and use this product. You won't be sorry, and after only 3 weeks and two days, I have nails that look like a french manicure has been applied to my nails, and the nail tip is WHITE, and the nail, itself, is pink and very healthy, and my cuticles are smooth, and not sore, and are just beautiful. No polish is chipping, and the shine on my nails looks like the BEST CLEAR COAT polish money can buy!

I have tried acrylics several times--hoping that they would work. The first time I tried them I got itchy eyes--at first only a little, but after a few weeks firey red eye lids! The manicurist said it couldn't be the nails, but it was!! The eyes went back to normal when they were removed. A couple years later, when I had had carple tunnel surgery, and I had to go "back home" for my brother's funeral I had them done again. This time it was a Vietnamese manicurist, and I found that they use tooth acrylic (like false teeth) sometimes, and it is even harder to remove. A couple years later I tried again, with an instructor, and after a few weeks I again had itchy fingers--and the backs of my hands became red, itchy, and scaly. I'm trough with them. I just found this site, as my nails are breaking a lot again. Can you use polish while you are using the product to repair, before they have grown out? (By the way, I even could not use an old bottle of polish that I had left over from when I had acrylics--it must have been contaminated from using it on acrylic, because I can use new bottles.)
I plan on ordering. It may be just what I need.

Nancy,
for the first thirty days, while they are getting the most intensive benefit of the twice a day use, it works like it's formulated to, if you don't use nail polish or even worse, remover. nail polish does not strengthen the nail bed itself. the only strength is in the polish. you remove it and you've still got the same nail underneath. removers are dehydrating, and that's what the nail growth formula is trying to restore in the first place. the negative wipes out the positive, if you will. we're not saying you can never polish your nails again, but, for the first thirty days your nails need to reap the benefits of the NG formula and become healthy again. your nails are breaking because they are dehydrated. this isn't so much a repair as it is a recovery. repair has such a temporary conotation, and the formula is for healthy, flexible nails for a lifetime.

Nancy,
I agree wholeheartedly with cheryl! It was very hard for me to give up my clear polish but I did for that 30 days and it was worth it! Now it's been almost 5 weeks and I still don't use or need it.
