Is there a quick way to repair nails after removal of acrylic nails?

I removed my acrylic nails a week or so ago. Wow are my nails ever weak now! How do I go about getting them back to normal or better. I've never had strong nails, so I really liked having the fake ones. They looked nice and never chipped, split or peeled. Okay, so I'm vain! Is there any miracle fix for brittle, thin nails. Is there any fake nails that don't ruin your real nails? I love having long nails, but don't want to totally ruin my real nails. Is there any certain product to use to get them healthy.Is there a quick way to repair nails after removal of acrylic nails?
the best fake nails are the gel ones. they aren't as damaging... and if you can afford it, get them removed professionally... not from one of those cheap hole in the wall chop shops.





After you get them removed... use a vitamin enriched lotion (sally hansen) for the first few days... even if they look like crap. your nails have been air deprived while you wore the fakes ones. Then, use a nail strengthener or nail repair polish.Is there a quick way to repair nails after removal of acrylic nails?
oh, honey, i know what you mean. i had fake nails on and mine looked sooo bad after i took them off. =/ well... there's no miracle fix, but if you keep them moisturized and rub olive oil into your cuticles, it will help the new nail grow back healthy. you should leave them polish free for a while so they can breathe (they'll get a little harder, mine did) and then you could put a clear coat on them to protect them. keep them short until all the damaged nail grows out or they will split and peel.





good luck! %26lt;3
from what i've seen the thickness of your natural nail has a lot of variation in it because of the way they blend-in the fill every 2 weeks. this is only a surface effect where you're looking through different thickness of natural nail, and it looks a little strange. when you take off the acrylic it'll look strange too. it's just a cosmetic effect and not any kind of enduring damage.





so, there's actually no real damage to the real underlying nail bed or the place where the nail grows from.





i agree ... acrylic nails are super strong, NEVER chip, are always smooth (without ridges), and accept polish so very well. they're quite beautiful with a nice coat of OPI polish.





at this point ... the good part my acrylics is better %26amp; worth more to me than the uneven coloration when they're not polished (or uncoated with acrylic). so, i'm keeping mine.





i hope you decide the same thing, and you realize the acrylic is better than going all the way back to natural (because there is no long lasting damage).





best luck
