Acrylic nails aren't likely to harm your natural nails but can sometimes cause problems, such as an infection.
If an acrylic nail
is damaged or as your natural nails grow, a gap can develop between the acrylic
nail and your natural nail. This gap provides a moist, warm environment in
which a nail infection can flourish. A nail contamination may additionally
happen if acrylic nails are too long or unbending, or the nails are connected
with unsanitary devices. It's additionally conceivable to have a hypersensitive
response to segments of acrylic nails or their glues. Indications of a nail
disease incorporate redness, swelling and discharge.
If you choose to
have acrylic nails applied in a salon, take steps to minimize the risks:
·
Stick to salons that display a current state license, and work only with
technicians also licensed by the state board.
·
Make sure your nail technician properly sterilizes all tools used during
your treatment and washes his or her hands between customers.
·
Request a new nail file — or consider bringing your own — since nail
files can't be sterilized.
Return to the salon every two to three weeks for maintenance.
If you apply
acrylic nails at home, follow the safety precautions printed on the package.
Work in a well-ventilated area, and protect the skin around your nails from the
chemicals used during the application process.
Consider evacuating your acrylic nails and letting
your regular nails inhale each a few months. In the event that you think a nail
disease, counsel a dermatologist for an assessment.
