Nail Care & Manicures - first time acrylics


Expert: Sylvia de Rijke - 5/28/2009

Question
Hi,
I just had acrylics put on today for the first time ever.  I have never had a manicure or anything like this.  I like the way they look but a couple of my fingers hurt to touch.  Not terribly, but like they are bruised.  My nail beds are naturally terrible, thin, & weak.  It takes effort to keep my hands looking nice.  Do they just hurt because this I just had them done?  They are not read around the nail or anything like that.

Answer
Dear Diana,

What I think happened is the feeling of pinching (putting pressure on the top ends of the artificial nail to bend them a bit in the shape of a natural nail is unusual for you and because of your weak nail beds it hurts.

I would wait a few days and if it does not change please go back to the salon and ask them to release the pressure on the ones that hurt most.

Please get back to me if things do not change.
