What's wrong with my nails?

So this started after I removed shellac nails and my thumb nail was a bit weak and got bent back in a separate incident. I thought is was slow to grow in, but it's weird and seems to be spreading to the other nails :(

The nail bed has been damaged. Not really anything that can be done about it unfortunately.

You need to wait for them to grow. That shellac crap ruins your nails

Looks like a fungal nail infection to me. You can get stuff to paint on from the chemist which clears it up

Mine went like that after Shellac, took a year to grow out.

I'll go ask the chemist I think in case it needs treatment

I also think it looks like a fungal infection. Get a pharmacist to have a look.

I just buff them after shellac, it takes the top layer off which has been damaged by the glue. They are usually a bit weaker, may break but otherwise fine!

It is shellac. I have just cut mine short after shellac was removed. Definitely damaged although looked lovely for about two weeks.
