Ok, so I finally got my popits a few months back, and have used nothing but these on myself since then. I have still been trying to work out the kinks, learning the proper amount to use, trying to get rid of bubbles, etc. But I had 2 major issues, and I wonder if one of those might have caused my new,big issue!
The first prob I had was I always had acrylic that would push under my cuticle. They would look great for 3 days or so, but as they started to grow out, you would see a small ledge of acrylic right at the cuticle. They would often start to lift here too, and I assume this is because the acrylic was touching the cuticle.
My next problem was the burn! It wasn't just warm, it was HOT! I do have very thin nails, and the few other people I put them on didn't think they burned, so I just figured it was due to my thin nails. But here is my big problem, I have applied these to myself about 5 times over the last couple months, getting the burn every time. Last week I realized that my natural nail was lifting from my nail bed!
I cut them all down very short, and gently thinned them out. I am afraid to soak them off, because I don't know what the acetone might do to my poor nails now. I have 3 nails that are lifted half off of the nail bed, 2 or 3 that are just lifted a small amount at the free edge, and the others seem ok. There is no pain, no discoloration, and I have never had this problem before. I am afraid that the heat from the applcation of the popits has damaged my natural nails.
What do you think? Is this possible?
