Question I have had acrylic nails for 4 months now. A friend of mine got them at the same time, same location, and same french manicure. Mine turned yellow (all the way through) after a week and hers are still beautiful. I don't go to the tanning bed or smoke. I've changed the lotion, body bath anything I can think of. What can be causing this? I asked the nail tech and he doesn't seem to be able to give me any other suggestions.
Answer Shannon,
I would be willing to bet you went to a chop shop. The product they use, MMA, will ALWAYS yellow. In time, so will your friends.
If your tech cannot answer your questions, then find a new tech that can help you and give you PRETTY nails!!! (does your tech speak English as his native language?)
buenos dias,
Lynnette
