The acrylic wouldn't have done this hun...or the soaking off. Damage is usually done with over blending tips...over filing....pulling enhancements off....soaking too often....ect.

use plenty of nail oil x

Hi bagpuss...I have only soaked of 2 sets in the past month, could've been my filing as the tips I used didn't require blending and I never pull them off......all I have at home is cuticle oil?...

If fifitrix can't make it just give me a shout and i'll be up in a shot lol.

Maybe a gel overlay would do for your holibags just to strengthen them up a wee bit!

My nails are ALWAYS weak and bendy when I have just soaked them off, and for me it takes approx 3 days before they are back to a "workable" strength,
If you are abseloutly sure there has been no nail damage prior to applying enhancements, then its just normal for them to be weak after soaking off hun,

Just like they would be bendy if you had a nice long soak in the bath,

Having a manicure or something from another geek, can only be a good thing though, so Enjoy hun ! :hug:

Having nail enhancements on, increases the oil and moisture content in the natural nail.

This is why when they are removed they can seem more flexible, like Emmsybabes says, like when you have had a soak in the bath.
After a few days the oil moisture content returns to normal and they can tthen start to dry out!!! This is usually when nails start splitting and breaking.

Keep using your Essential Oil and keep your own nails short until you get used to having your ownnails again. Remember you are used to having acrylic (L&P) on them and the strength that gives.

I am sure your geeky friends will ensure you have a fabulous set of enhancements for your holiday....have a great time.
