I’ve been having acrylic nail extensions for as long as I can remember.. 20+ years atleast. I’ve always taken breaks when necessary, usually every other set. So I have a full set, an infill and then a month break. Recently, I’ve noticed that my cuticles and fingers are really struggling with some sort of reaction.. they’re so itchy I could probably bite my fingers off. I was advised this could be because everywhere uses gel nail varnish now, so I requested they use normal varnish for me - no change. I thought maybe it was a hygiene issue, you know these nail shops that have 100s people each week and I never notice them change files etc so I started going somewhere with a high hygiene routine and still no change.
Has anyone else had this experience, how did you resolve it? Anyone with any ideas?
