In need of professional advice!

[Sarah4President]

To start off: Iam not a professional!
I joined this site for good professional advice on different types of systems and techniques because i am sick and tierd of tierd of the salons in my town(very small town).

Out here in this Swedish town an acrylic lengthening(i do not know if that is the correct english term) in the towns best known, most visited and alsoe who has been in buisness the longest any lentghening treatment costs 99,50 dollars (with todays exchange) that is 725 swedish kronor. And the quality?

I did my nails on tuesday and on wednsday i got a fever and influensa like symptoms and just laid in bed. While just being home and ill, no dishing, 4 showers in 6 days my nails just fell off!

turn on the light switch and my thumb nail just fell of from the minimal pressure it takes to turn on the light. And it just progressed so now 6 days has passed and i have four somewhat good looking nails left(i am removeing them this afternoon).

And now the point of all this?
I am very skilled with anything technical, builing and so on and i am sure of that i can manage to do my own nails. So i now need advice and tips on different brands of product, sites, tips EVERYTHING that could come in handy for someone who wants to do her own nails. No need in doing them myself if i use bad products. So please, tips and trics!
i will be ever so greatful!
Regards Sarah

If you are not a professional, then we cannot advise you on what professional use only products to buy

Are there any training courses near where you live where you could at least learn the basics of how to do acrylic nail enhancements ?

Hi Sarah,

Could you have had an allergic reaction to the products used? Please be very careful as once an allergy begins, the reaction will worsen following further exposure and in extreme/worst case scenarios, can cause death.

Next time, just have ONE nail done and see if you experience similar symptoms. If so, do not use these chemicals again and seek advice from a medical skin specialist.

Hopefully, your flu like symptoms will be just a coincidence.

However, when using these sorts of chemicals, you should always only use them after having received training in their safe use and handling. Youtube may make it look easy but youtube would make brain surgery look simple...

Take care xx
