For the first two weeks I was pleased - no problems. This third week though, my wrist joints are painful off and on...it's not constant pain. I'm just wondering if that is a reaction to the MMA stuff and if I should just have them removed. BTW, there was no pain prior to this whole thing. Lynette (or anyone),

Your local chop shops WILL ruin your nails because they take NO pride in their work. Their only job is to get you in and out and take your money. They use a DREMEL and THAT destroys the nails and could permanently damage your matrix. I would suggest you get a manicure since you say your have healthy nails. Find a NICE salon that is clean and will UNDERSTAND what you want. IOW speaks ENGLISH. If you patronize chop shops, they HAVE to grind your nails for the MMA to stay on your nails. MMA is ILLEGAL to use on nails in most states. Go to my website and look up What is on YOUR Nails? and see what MMA is all about. Lynnette Ashley,

I asked him why he wouldn't let me and he said that they ruin my nails unless I go somewhere good. I have been going to the same nail shop for 2 years and have watched them put acrylics on other people. I don't want them to grind my nails down because i have really healthy and thick nails, about how long would they stay on if I asked them not to grind my nails down or if I should even get them at all.

If they are true gel nails, go back and have your nailtech remove them. REAL gel nails need to be filed off. CHOP SHOP "gel" nails also need to be filed. They are MMA and NOT gel at all. buenos dias, Lynnette Candace,
