Acrylic Nail Broke Off Real Nail

Buffalo New York 4471 posts Jun 18th 12 Yesterday at the park DS was coming down the slide and as I put my hands up to catch him he kicked my hand and hit my pinky finger ripping off my fake nail halfway and my real nail with it.

Acrylic nail broke off real nail. I went to my nail technician and she cut both the acrylic and the real nail off and then put a new fake nail over the top. Your nail would just be broken in the middle. MMA has been deemed deleterious to the nails by the FDA in the 70s and has been banned for use as a nail chemical by most of the 50 states.

Press the broken piece of nail gently but firmly onto the area where it broke off for 30 to 60 seconds until it stays attached. Glove your free hand and soak a cotton swab with the acetone. If you decide you need to remove the nail DO NOT pry it off.

Try taking tip cutters and cutting the nail. Hit my acrylic nail and now have half my real nail and acrylic nail. The most important element is to make sure the nail is completely dry.

Daventry Northants UK Apr 23 2006. Repeat typically till the acrylic turns a rubbery consistency and might simply peel away. File down the surface of the plastic nail and soak it in acetone.

When it stops being so sore you can remove the false nail but I would have the nail technician do it. It looked as good as new. Another thought for you - many unscrupulous salons use a liquid called MMA to create the nails.

A similar thing happened to me on my little finger. Taking something like nail clippers wont work as acrylic can be a bit thicker than clippers can get over. If your natural nail isnt hurting too badly now it is okay to take the acrylic off.
