Acrylic Nail Broke Off Real Nail

I would take the acrylic off but it still attached to the real nail which is pulled off from the nail bed area.

Acrylic nail broke off real nail. Glove your free hand and soak a cotton swab with the acetone. Press the broken piece of nail gently but firmly onto the area where it broke off for 30 to 60 seconds until it stays attached. A similar thing happened to me on my little finger.

MMA has been deemed deleterious to the nails by the FDA in the 70s and has been banned for use as a nail chemical by most of the 50 states. 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. Use soap and water to clean the area of blood glue loose acrylic shards and germs.

I usually wait for it to pop off on its own when the nail has completely grown out and then soak off the glue. Let it breathe once a day I usually did this at night.

Another thought for you - many unscrupulous salons use a liquid called MMA to create the nails. Acrylics can be used to lengthen the nails so your nails can still match with the rest. I have acrylic nails i think that my real nail is broken.

Because acrylic is very hard it can shatter when being cut and hurt you even more. 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. 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.
