Worst chemical burns in my life
I read a lot of people enjoyed this for helping nails not to seperate at the edges so I figured I should try it out. I am newer to the gel nails but I have been doing my own nails for over 10 years now. And was getting highly proficient at gel to the point that I wanted it to last much longer before I removed it.
Let me start out by saying it caused my nails to peel within days and when they did it caused major damage taking much of my nail with it causing breaks on most of my nails causing me to lose length but also have some break up to my skin and bleed. However this is not the worst part.
This product should be off the market. The alcohol part didn't bother my hands or nails at all. But the primer have me severe chemical burns. The entire underside of my nail keeps peeling and bleeding no matter what I do. I'm no stranger to peeling masks on my skin and I am a constant hair bleacher so I know the feeling of going too far. It's been days with no stopping and I'm scared of what will happen under my nails now. The pain is severe and I can't use my fingers on one hand because the separating and moving of my nails makes them bleed. It also caused blisters on my cuticles where the liquid pooled.
I truly cannot state how painful and dangerous this product is. And I hope no one else shares my reactions.
UPDATE: it's been almost 3 weeks. I have never had any kind of skin disorder before and I now have what I’m thinking of is Dyshidrotic eczema which are painful itchy blisters. Truly this has ruined my life and my nails are now peeling from the bed and I assume I am going to lose them.
