I have an important conference this weekend and wanted to look my best. Tday was beautiful so I took the kids to the park. I applied Banana Boat Kids Sport to them. Within seconds I had fizz and hair and dirt all over my sticky nails. And it's deep - it didn't just take off the clearcoat, it also took off the airbrushed french tips and some of the acrylic. I can't wash them clean because the fuzz and stuff is now permanently part of them (they look so dirty and gross) so rather than reapplying my own clearcoat I now have to go back to the nail place and pay them to fix it! My biggest concern with this is that I'm putting chemicals on my childrens' skin that's strong enough to eat through acrylic. That's pretty harsh. What is it doing to them?!?

In fact, some of the acrylics used with gels can be associated with fingernail damage and deformity.

Now ive got a sticky base-if I buff and put a clear top coat on my nails will they be ok?

I switched to gel nails and can apply ANYTHING now! I love 'em. And contrary to a lot of people's beliefs, they are super strong. I play volleyball, softball, water ski, and pile wood along with tons of other stuff. Been wearing them for years... and they are easier on your natural nail bed too.
