Gel nails??

I had gel nails done for a wedding. They were pretty, though took some getting used to, but now?! My nails are in a terrible state! This is weeks after I took them off and my nail ends (where the glue was) are all broken and brittle and weak. My sister who also got it done has the same result and she had naturally gorgeous nails before. WILL NOT ever be getting the tips with that glue ever again. Will just have to be the gel straight onto my own nail! Rant over. Just a little warning and a small question. Did you have the same result after having it done?

Yep all acrylic and gel nails ruin our own nails. They will recover and repair themselves but mine take 6 months. I have acrylic at the moment, I regularly give a break to heal my real nails but love my acrylics.

I was given the stuff that they would have removed them with and instructed how to do it. I loved them too :( gutted, Maybe I will just do what you do Ambi. Heal time :)
