What To Do If Your Real Nail Breaks Under Acrylic

What to do if your real nail breaks under acrylic. I figured since nails grow my acrylic would eventually come off like in 3 weeks. 2 If the acrylic or gel nail has split at the top cover it with a band-aid until you can get to a nail salon. Scared to take the nail off cus it hurts.
As you can imagine these instructions about how to get acrylic nails off can take quite a bit of time to complete in real life. Clean with 70 alcohol. Yesterday at the park DS was coming down the slide and as I put my hands up to catch him he kicked my hand and hit my pinky finger ripping off my fake nail halfway and my real nail with it.
I went to my nail technician and she cut both the acrylic and the real nail off and then put a new fake nail over the top. What can i do. Thats why I cut the acrylic off as short as I could put hydrogen peroxide and covered it in bandages so like you said it wont catch on anything and lift it anymore.
So you should immediately go buy some hand cream cuticle oil or natural oils. Take a blow dryer to it to make sure. Youll need to go back to the nail salon every 2-3 weeks to get the gaps.

Cut down any length of the nail if you can file the acrylic nail as thinly as possible not reaching your natural nail and then soak it in acetone. If your nail break is low and has exposed any nail bed or skin you can expect some slight discomfort or stinging as the acetone penetrates the acrylic. It stopped my finger from hurting and protected my new nail as it grew.
