I would go to silk. I ended up with an allergy to acrylic. Like you, I bite my nails and the only way they look nice is if I get them done! I have been doing silk for the last few years and had no problems.

I am allergic to acrylic refills but was advised years ago to try a SILK refill. Worked like a charm. Then my salon changed ownership about 3 months ago and even though I told them about the allergy they apparently did not understand and I had a terrible reaction. Have switched back to silk but still get a lesser reaction. Am thinking it may take months until the nail is totally grown out. I should probably bite the bullet and have them totally removed but my natural nails are so thin now I am afraid to do it. Any suggestions?

Yes, same here. I have read a few of the comments and it is true, once allergic always allergic. And alcohol rubbing makes it worse. No real solution. I have seen a professional skin doctor and he says the same, go natural.

This last time I got my nails done I got the pink acrylic and I've notice my entire body itching. Can it be from the acrylic or does that only effect your hands?

I have had acrylic nails for about 12 years. In early June, I began noticing red around my nail beds on 2 nails.
Now, almost all have this redness and scaling under the nail tip.
Could this also be an allergy to the acrylics?

I recently got the diamond in hopes of not having the reaction and I'm on day 2 and my fingers are quite swollen with tiny blisters everywhere. Might work differently for you. I got the diamond as a fill in from the time before where I got a full set of acrylic and gel polish both times. The skin around my nails are no longer dry and itchy as of now but I have a feeling they will soon return to being in that state after the swelling subsides.

Have you had any trouble since trying that? I've been getting mine done for 20 years and just experienceing this problem and been doing research for days now cause I LOVE my nails. It's the only thing I do for myself

I too have this problem. Ugh! I just have a manicure done with shellac polish. It helps my nails grow and no allergies. Hope this helps!

i spray my cuticles with alcohol many times a day and after maybe 3-4days my skin is fine. i also ask the technician not to apply the powder too close to the cuticle area. i hate having this problem.
