Nails Lifting From Nail Bed After Acrylic

Even though you have removed the cuticle to make the nail stronger this can still happen.

Nails lifting from nail bed after acrylic. Start off by pushing back the cuticle. It is not normal for acrylic nails to lift after a week but the lifting can be more obvious at this time. It usually repairs itself although it may take six months or more in severe cases.

You have onycholysis on the nail which is defined as separation of the nail plate from the nail bed. This way you will know exactly how to apply acrylics that will not lift. If you want to stop your acrylic nails from lifting there are a few different things you can try.

This is a common problem which is often caused by an injury to the nail. It has a few causes including nail trauma or an allergic reaction. Sounds like you have a pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial infection known in the nail world as greenies or mold which it is not.

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. However nail lifting from the nail bed after acrylics is a very common issue that many acrylic nail users have. I figured since nails grow my acrylic would eventually come off like in 3 weeks.

You will observe the normal white tip of the nail begin to track toward the cuticle. The detachment of the nail plate from the nail bed is not always due to onycholysis but can be due to other reasons like psoriasis as well. Acrylic nails lift when they separate from the natural nails in less than two weeks.

This is very important as it enables everything that needs to be removed to be exposed. Three reasons that cause acrylic nails to lift are the low-quality acrylics improper acrylic nail application and failure to know their limitation and to follow regular maintenance by a user. You are describing onycholysis which is when the nail separates from the underlying bed.
