Nails Hurt After Acrylics

What's the Deal?

Ouch!

If you've ever gotten acrylic nails, you know that they can be a pain—literally.

After a few days or weeks, your nails may start to hurt. This can be caused by a number of factors, including:

• Improper application. If the acrylic nails are not applied correctly, they can put stress on your natural nails, causing them to become weak and painful.
• Incorrect removal. If the acrylic nails are not removed properly, they can damage your natural nails, causing them to become thin and weak.
• Trauma. If your acrylic nails are subjected to trauma, such as a blow or a fall, they can become damaged and painful.

If you're experiencing pain from your acrylic nails, it's important to see a doctor or nail technician to get the problem treated.
