I used resin for years and never had any issues... figured I’d try poly gel - first time in July 2019... I fell in love, so easy and took a beating without coming off or lifting like resin did to me.
skip to October - all of a sudden, two days after application... my fingertips were itchy, red and flaking on underside of nail. I am allergic to uv (get a rash in the sun and tanning beds) so I figured it was the cheap uv and bought a led instead.
same issue two more applications... and now, I’m positive I’m allergic to poly gel.
question is - I can’t take it off bc my fingers are so sore and my nail plates badly damaged underneath.
What would you advise? If I do get it off - my nail beds crack and damaged where they pull on everything and are sore without some kind of protection. What can I do? I know it’ll be a process, but I work w my hands and need to be able to use them without pain. Please help. Tia for any help.
