I just had my acrylic nails taken off and my nails are so sore. Its seems like when they filed my nails they took too much off. I can't do anything because they are so painful and sore. Can anyone recommend anything for me to use? Thank you.

Actually, nails don't breathe. Your nails have been sanded down so thin that the nerves under them are sensitive. If you apply several coats of "Hard as Nails" polish it will reduce the sensitivity until the whole nail grows back again.
Had the same problem. Sounds funny, but go to a place where they sell horse supplies. Buy the product used to groom horses' hooves. In the U.S. it's called "Hoof Maker". Rub a small amount on your nails several times a day.
I just had the same thing happen and it was so painful. I put about ten layers of clear nail polish on. It creates a barrier. I also tried some nail strengthener and it wasn't as good. Don't put colored polish on. That weakens the nails and makes them catch on things and rip. I also keep a nail file with me so if anything starts to rip I file it right away before it gets worse. I can't believe how well the clear polish works. I sit in front of the TV and put more on every few minutes. Sometimes I put on some sparkles too just to pretty them up. Hope it helps!
I get my nails done a lot, more than I should. I finally took off my acrylics and my natural nails are super thin, it's so bad and it's so painful too. I don't know what to do. I just know I'm not getting acrylics for a long time. How do can I make my natural nails stronger?
It will take time, but most people who have had the same issues as yours went and had a gel manicure done on their nails a week after the acrylic ones were removed. The gel manicure can help to build up the strength in your nails and stop them from breaking and hurting.
You can also get a few products to put on your nails This is an excellent one and it will help your nails. Essentials SolarOil Nail & Cuticle Conditioner
I remember that pain! I hated it so much, and I'm sorry you're going through with it. My best remedy was cutting them short so they wouldn't bend back on anything. Keep them trimmed until they grow back as thick as they naturally should be.
Today I removed my UV gels after having them on for two years. Oh my gosh the pain in unreal. I don't know what to do. Does anyone know what I could do to stop the pain and make my nails stronger? The pain feels like someone broke all my fingers and set my nails on fire.
My nails are actually all red as well waaah! I will never put anything one my nails again besides regular polish once this heals.This is very common when people go to a shop to have their nails done and they choose to do this. There are shops that recommend that you take off the nails every few months to allow your nails under to breath and be healthy. The only thing you can do now to help your nails is good some good oil for nails and keep applying this to the nails.
You may need to see a doctor but for right now until that happens you can heat a cup or two of white or apple cider vinegar and soak your nails for several hours if possible.
Warm the vinegar in a micro-safe bowl - test it and do not use it too hot (test it like a baby's milk - a drop or two on your wrist) as your nails will be very tender but you can rewarm the vinegar several times (unless it looks dirty) and probably be able to stand it hotter each time.
Sit in a chair with the bowl in your lap and use a towel under the bowl (an extra towel in case you have an accident and spill the vinegar) and leave nails soaking until water is cold; then reheat and do the same again. Repeat this several times and over the weekend. I believe your nails will be better and the pain will be greatly diminished.
Just remember to use the water as hot as you can without yelling as heat and vinegar work wonders on drawing out infection.
You may wish to apply some sort of antibiotic ointment overnight (OTC ointment is good). Some may stain your sheets so check this out.
If you normally take some sort of OTC pain killer you might want to try some of this for a couple of days. Ibuprofen, aspirin, Tylenol are all good if you normally take these without problems. Be sure to take as directed.
I just took of my store bought fake nails and they are burning. I have washed them, taken them off, put them in ice for 3 hours and they still burn just as bad. If anyone can help, please do:)
I've had fake nails on for about 5 days. I was washing up and my finger went slightly backwards and caused me pain. I ended up taking the nails off to find out I could see veins in my fingertips.
I'm really worried and I'm not sure whether to see a doctor or not?It sounds like you had an allergic reaction to the material in the mails that caused this problem. I would go to see a doctor, maybe you need something for this so they do not get infected.
I had a full set of acrylic fitted yesterday, the nail person made my cuticles bleed. Today my fingers are really sore, is this normal?

You said you got bleeding while pushing back cuticles. Acrylic liquid should not applied to the damaged bleeding nails. I suppose your beautician done something very wrong.
I took off my acrylic nail by biting it off, now my finger is throbbing with a huge pain! What can I do to make the pain go away? Please help.

Take a pain med and don't do that again! If it's swollen wrap it in ice. Watch it to make sure it doesn't get infected.
I pulled off my acrylic nail. The tip of my finger itches and under the fingernail tip it hurts and burns. Did I pull nail layers off and it's thin?
I have tried several things to ease it. Anyone have any suggestions? Please.You probably have an Infection. I would put an antibiotic cream on it. If it doesnt get better, call a doctor.
My nails are super thin sore and red after removing acrylic nails. The nails are so soft and are continually breaking.
They feel like as soft as paper. I'm putting Vicks VapoRub on them; will that help?Cut your nails short. I would put a moisturizing hand and nail cream on them instead of the VapoRub, which can be drying.
I removed my own acrylics and now my nails are super sore, painful, and red! They are a mess. The tips are red. Any suggestions?
