Does anyone have a problem with acrylic nails in the summertime? I had full sets continuiously for most of the winter. Summer comes and the last set I had was a real nightmare. They broke, they lifted. A week ago, I couldn't stand it any more and had them taken off.
Now I'm even more unhappy. My own nails are short. I went with a light polish and bought the nail strengthener which I've applied daily. Not only are my nails breaking but the polish just isn't holding up. It's peeling off and my nails look terrible. :confused3
I've grown to love the look of nice polished nails. It's a nice treat for me. I'm thinking about getting another set but I don't want to end up with a nail infection if they are not holding up the way they had been.
I'm wondering if part of my problem came in with pool water and/or sunscreen. I do a lot of sunscreen most every day (8 daycare kids plus myself to cover). If that's the problem, I'm thinking maybe I should invest in the spray sunscreen and maybe save my nails. If it's the pool water, there isn't much I can do about that. Also, does anyone know if salt water would be terrible on acrylic nails? We're off to the beach in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for any suggestions.
