I had acrylic nails put on and they were pretty grown out. I hit my pinky nail and ripped a small bit of my real nail off. As you can imagine it's very painful. I took all my other nails off and had no problem, but I'm trying to find a way to get my pinky nail off with there being already a ton of pain and swelling in my finger.
In this case, you will want to treat the nail like it is your natural nail. It has already been traumatized, and may have small open wounds which would make using acrylic nail remover torturous and dangerous. Trim the nail as close to your fingertip as possible. Wear a band-aid on the finger, to minimize contamination and re-injury. As it grows, trim it, until either the ripped part has been trimmed off, or it is healed enough to use nail remover.
I've knocked of most of my nails and I have 3 left and they are all hurting and I don't know weather I should put them in nail polish but when I try cut them it hurts even more and I don't want to get them taken of by where I got them done because I know it will hurt. What should I do?!
I would go to a salon and have it removed. Keep your nails filed and buffed and hydrated with lots of oil.
If it hurts, it may be infected. You might have to see a doctor.
