Hi All,
Does anyone have any advice on caring for over filed nails?
I did a four day intensive course in February and as we had to practice on each other my nails became very sore and thin.
I've been wearing tips andover lay over them but as they were over filed right to the cuticles they are still thin near the free edge.
I've had to remove my enhancements at I'm doing a silk wrap course on Saturday, so I cut the tips off and just left the acrylic on hoping that would protect them from any more over vigorous filing. However, as my natural nails are very thin and bend a lot the acrylic has started to crack off (I guess, I probably shattered it too when I cut the tips off).
Apart from my nails looking AWFUL they are still tender. Can anyone tell me what I could do?
Can I put tips only on to protect my fingertips? I was hoping I could wear just tips and then they could be treated as natural nails when I get into the class on Saturday.
Sorry, this is a really long winded post and I'm not sure if I've explained myself properly.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
