Hi Damaged, sorry to hear about your nail problems. It's definitely not uncommon, though. If you haven't already, give Nailtiques Formula 2 a try. It's formulated especially for thin, weak nails. I used to sell this product many years ago and could not keep it on the shelves!

I have been having my nails done for at least 10-12years now! Everytime I think to re-grow my natural nails I get sooo frustrated that I go have them re-done again! They are very thin quite frankly barely there! Even before I started having them done they were sooo thin and brittle (my entire family has very very thin nails). Is there help for me?!? What can I do to stop this cycle of damage! I am beggin for help!

Oh Ella, I'm really sorry to hear about your nails! That's awful. I do agree that there are nail techs out there who do practice unscrupulously; however, for everyone one negative tech you deal with, there is a positive one out there who will hopefully be able to help you bring your nails back to life. I would recommend searching for techs in your area who are fully licensed and come backed with high recommendations from previous and existing clients.

Unfortunately, acrylic removal can be quite damaging, as you have had the misfortune of experiencing. It will take some time, but you can rest assured that your nails will return to normal at some point. Keep them well moisturized (that includes your cuticles, too - might as well treat the entire area since you want to get them as pretty as possible!) and leave your nails acrylic-free for a while.

Feel free to share your city or general area with us and we'd be happy to provide you with the name of a reputable nail tech near you. I hope this helps a bit! Good luck.

I am a "acryllic-removed sufferer"! I am angry at the condition of my nails when I had the acryllic removed. As a matter of fact, the tech could only remove part of the acrylic, w/the instruction to come back next week for a manicure. I have not gone back, perhaps to the detriment of my nails. First of all, the law ought to be that customers to nail salons are notified that applying acrylic and subsequent removal can severely damage the natural nails; there should be a penalty for not notifying customers! One problem is that many nail salons are run by persons who speak very poor english; even understanding what they say is often difficult, as w/the tech who removed my acrylic. Also, she didn't bother to cut my nails down; I've done that myself by reading online instructions on how to remove acrylic. Knowledge that my nails may be permanently damaged, and/or that it will likely takes months to get them back to some semblance of normalcy angers me even more. Any suggestions. I just needed to vent! Thanks for listening.
