Hey girl, I agree with the other comments. I'm a nail technician and it could be either an allergic reaction or an infection. Try these remedies and see if they help • Soak the finger nail in warm salt water. This helps to alleviate pain and swelling around the cuticle. Dab the area dry with a clean towel and wrap it with Band -aid for early healing. • Instead of salt you can add vinegar in warm water, before you soak your finger. Vinegar has mild anti-fungal and antibacterial properties that help to kill the germs. Dry your finger and nail once you remove it out from the water. • Mix few drops of Apricot kernel oil, tea tree oil, jojoba oil and lavender oil in a bottle. Now apply a drop or two from this mixture on the nail and its cuticle area. Tea tree oil is known for its anti-fungal qualities In my opinion though, I would get them removed.
Hi Nicole. HuRry. Im also a licensed nail tech...among other skills haha. I totally agree with what you said. And agree with treatment. I would def do the vinegar bath every day. Its a miracle for nails. Google ingredients in products your nail guy uses...they are very strong chemicals. Also he may have changed brands and your body doesn't like new brand. Either way I would do what Ferry said...take them off. Hope this helps XO Serin
READ ABOUT YOUR NAILS: Hey Nicole! I am a licensed nail tech, and the EXACT same thing happened to me. It is an allergy to the acrylic. Mine didn't used to do that either, but you can develop an allergy from repeated contact with an irritant and the chemicals. I kept trying to put them on, and my entire hand swelled up and was so painful. You'll have to soak your nails off for it to stop. BUT the good news is, gel is completely fine to get :) it doesn't irritate me at all. Hope this helps!
Oh, I saw some people commenting saying it's because the person you go to is using cheap products, which COULD be the reason, but since you've been getting them done for so long I don't think that's the case. Plus I only use high grade products and the same thing happened to me. If you take your nails off and it doesn't stop, then you can go to a doctor/dermatologist and they can prescribe you a cream (usually steroid) and it really helps. Sorry for the long comments! :)
I had acrylics for about a year Nicole! I've done my research and talked to many nail techs and they say gel nails are sooo much better for your nail than acrylic. They actually act like a guard on your nails, so when you don't want them anymore, your nail isn't damaged underneath! I get my gel nails stiletto/almond shape and they look better than acrylics! xx
I used to react to nail polish the way you react to the acrylic. You can develop allergies as you age or grow out of them so that may be what's happening to you :/ That stuff is pure chemicals girl! I had to avoid polish for years and now like 10 years after I first noticed symptoms I can wear it again. Be safe, allergies can be serious sometimes! You look gorg in this olive color by the way! xx
The symptoms you are describing are classic for allergic reaction to acrylates - in this case, gel acrylic. If you are allergic to one nail enhancement product, you will be allergic to all of them. Since ALL artificial nail products are made from the same family of acrylates, you will be allergic to traditionnal acrylic, gel acrylic, wrap resins and nail adhesives (glues.) Allergic reaction does not happen overnight, but only after years of repeated and prolonged skin contact to a potential allergen. If the technician repeatedly allowed the wet product to touch your skin around the cuticle area, then this is the way in which you were overexposed. Once allergic, we are allergic for life. You need to have the nails removed and opt for natural nail care. With each exposure, the symptoms will worsen and the acute reaction is that your natural nail plate will lift and separate from the nail bed. The itching and burning will maybe worsen. Hope this helps :) found this in google.
Changing the way you eat is hard! Man… I was a junk food lover! I still have some here and there. But after going without it for a long period and switching it up with juicing, fruits and drinking my lemon water, all day every day, it helped stopped the craving! You can do it girl!
I went to beauty school and we had to learn everything about nails and acrylics. A lot of nail salons are NOT sanitary. They are NEVER supposed to use a file more than once, in fact if a health inspector was around they would do a lot different. I think your skin is just sensitive to the fact that nail salons are usually really harsh with their filing and cutical pushing and that they use unsanitary things. I'm not a hater I still go to nail salons when I feel like feeling extra pretty but I almost instantly regret it too. And seriously there are some nasty hand disease things you've never even heard of that can spread at nail salons.
Omg, reading this made me think of the chinese nail place at the mall and how they save time and money like crazy... and then the poor sanitazion... ew.
That's not true.. You can't keep buying new files for every costumer. That's ridiculous, but they need to disinfect them in a special uv-thingy. Just as they do at the dentist or the doctor with their instruments. If you react then you are probably allergic to the acrylic. There is probably really disgusting salons too that doesn't do any of the disinfection that they need or take on customers that they shouldn't so you need to do some research of the salon before you go somewhere. And also does it itch och you react in some way, it probably not the salons fault, it's more likely that you are having an allergic reaction.
The big files they use for acrtlics can be sanitized its the little orange/brown ones that have to be disposed of...I went to beauty school to...it is probably do to not being sanitized but it could also be to mixing products...a lot of places mix cheap with experience and some brands make thier products where you can only use that brand others will let you mix brands
I know that the big files can be sanitized, but it has to actually get done to be effective.That's the trick and if you ask they will clean it, but otherwise I have never seen them disinfect their files in between each costumer. I'm sure they do it once a day or once a week but at the nail salons I've been to they did not clean them after every costumer. It wasn't meant as an argument it was meant as information to help people.
Ok, so whatever this news is it has to be similar to what Jaclyn has going down too... Both went to LA and both are working on something that we can't know about for a few months yet... AAAAHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!! Maybe eyeshadow palettes with ABH?? Every other makeup guru is getting a palette with her so why not our beloved Nicole and Jaclyn, right??!! :-) Whatever your news is, girl, we are sooooo happy for you and can't wait to see whats coming!! 143 ♥
If you've been going to the same nail place forever, you should ask them if they have changed any of the materials they use. Primer, monomer (liquid), polymer (powder) and things like that. If it is a cheap or low end place, many of those get materials that are not legal for use because they cure quicker. It will have a very dangerous chemical called MMA in it. Just be careful! Always make sure they are using clean implements on you and not reusing from last client. Don't be afraid to call them out.(Licensed Cosmetologist.)
I too became allergic to acrylic nails, after about 8 years of having them. Same symptoms as you, itchy, swollen and peeling. Got so bad I almost lost my whole nail on my ring finger, as the nail separated from the nail bed. I took them off, let them grow out and then went to silk wrap. Never had an issue. Most ppl are allergic to the bonding liquid. If you are allergic to acrylics, you will most likely be allergic to gel, so they are no good either. Silk wrap are awesome, strong, natural looking and so quick and easy. Love love love. Give them a try, you will love them.
if you are allergic to acrylic try a salon with nextgeneration nails it is artificial but a dip in powder instead of a brush on acrylic liquid. if you have anymore questions my salon in florida provide them and it's also organic and WAAAYYYYY healthier for your actual nail beds
for real you know how to film a vlog! we get the feel of the trip without too much footage ! A lot of bloggers put up 20 minute blogs of nothing much but yours was short and sweet :)
USE OLIVE OIL ON YOUR BROWS! I few years back I over plucked my brows TO THE MAX (you know, trying to make my brows identical twins instead of sisters) and I'd heard that if you apply olive oil onto your brows before you go to bed and then leave it on there overnight that your brows will grow back heaps quick.I used this method and after a couple of weeks my brows had pretty much grown out. I would say they were completely grown out by the 4-5 week mark :) xxx
castor oil works very well to grow brows, I use vaseline too, both of them work really well!! My brows were not growing AT ALL for years but since I've started using this I've got my brows back!!! yay!! and you can use it on lashes too!
Nicole!! You should do a video vlog type of thing where every week you will update us on how your diet is going!! You could do like things what you ate, cheat meals, struggles you're facing, cravings, and exercises you've been doing. Please consider it Nicole I would love to hear your journey with health and fitness and to hear the things other girls are going through with just starting out!
Loved this video. You really established it well putting all the content fluently together. I love how you just didn't chuck all these videos together. Love you Nicole xo
Nicole yess i had not pu my nails fot a while and then when i went back i found out im allergic. To the liquid or something. I get real itchy on my fingers n i hate it
The itchy feeling on your hand, is it ONLY when you get your nails done? Because I get the same feeling but I have eczema. (to the extreme) it gets worst in the winter/fall.
When I was young I used to have really bad eczema on my arms and back of my legs then it went away but now its come back on my arms and on my neck and I really can not stop myself from scratching.
Many eczema conditions are usually allergy related. I had eczema from head to toe (literally), to the point of my hair falling out in patches from the eczema on my head. - Ladies try looking into your diets for some clues, I've eliminated manyyy things from my diet and because of that I have managed to completely get rid of my eczema. #SorryForTheEssay
I'm not trying to be rude but why is that rude? People share the love of watching Nicole's videos and connect through youtubers who has helped / brought positive attitudes and influence other people to smile.
I just find it disrespectful- the purpose of the comments (in my opinion anyways!) is to discuss the video, ask Nicole questions, etc. it's kind of sad to come down here and see 4 or 5 right off the bat that have nothing to do with the video. There's nothing wrong with wanting followers/friends! I just wish people wouldn't take advantage of popular channels to advertise, that's all :) I know it would bother me! And yes I agree; first just a couple people did it, now everyone is catching on!
Omg yes! That started happening to me last 2 times I did my nails, I didn't get the swollen fingers but my palms started itching amd then they start to peel, I tried everything to take it off lotion, scrubs, everything u can think off, but nothing worked! Eventually all went away, what I think happened was we are allergic to a type of acrylic, maybe the person u go to changed brands? It don't even have to be the acrylic, anything new they used probably causes it. So girl don't worry about it and just relax and try a different place, or talk to your nail guy.
I have a similar reaction except it's just my cuticles that peel after they've been swollen and itchy for 2-3 days. It sucks! Ive been doing my nails for years and for the past few months i started having the reactions....but I'm so stubborn. I need alternatives! I love my acrylics. Can't live without them!
I use to wear acrylics for years and I stopped wearing them for a while and the last few times I got them put back on they did the same thing to me. My nails felt really itchy and I also had the cuticle irritation so I just got them taken off because I couldn't stand the itchiness lol. I think acrylics just aren't for me anymore 😔
I just got stilettos for my sisters wedding and as soon as she applied the nails and the acrylic my fingers had a burning sensation! It creeped me out and I too have the itchiness now. Idk if I should remove them? Do you know why this happens?
midnightbirdy sometimes the primer they use to bond the acrylic to the nail and that can burn really bad. But if it's like burning for a long time I would definitely get them sloughed off.
Could it be from when they are shaving your nail and clip the cuticle? That's happened to me before and then the acrylic felt like my fingers were on fire.
I am a nail tech..and im not positive as to why this is happening, but it could be because they are using MMA (illegal and poisonous acrylic) instead of EMA. Try a different nail salon before calling it quits with the acrylic. there are so many brands of acrylic out there and your salon may have switched it up on you and got MMA because its cheaper. Hope this helps!
+Jenna question for you Jenna, I get gel manicures, not acrylic just gel polish and when they put it on it BURNS! Like burns so bad I can barely stand it. Then it dries and I'm fine, but my nails are ratchet when the gel comes off, essentially forcing me to go get another gel mani asap...any thoughts??? Is this common?!? Oh, and hey Nicole, your videos are awesome!! Totally inspired me to get my pretty on again and I just did a hugeeeee two week long makeup haul including drug store, bh, Mac, elf, etc. Ridiculous!
Its pretty common for your nails to burn for a few second when under the light. even mine do it. it happens when your nails are thin..nothing to worry about though. It depends if your nail salon is taking the gel off properly. ever since I've been doing nails (over a year now) I've kept gel polish on my nails and have never had a problem with my nails being too thin or destroyed. be sure your nail salon SOAKS OFF the gel polish using acetone instead of using an electric drill or filing your nail down. Hope this helps! (:
Thanks! They don't take it off I end up peeling it off because I get annoyed with it haha that's prob the reason they're so ratchet when I take it off !!!
Hey girl, so I had an issue with my left hand about 2 months ago. It just started itching like crazy, there were bumps all over it and it was peeling. It was mainly in the palm of my hand but it went up my fingers and on the sides too. Now I have random peeling on just small parts my my fingers. I thought it was some kind of a chemical peel from tanning bed cleaner but I have no idea. I just made sure to use a TON of lotion and balms to just keep the pain to a minimum.
Hey Nicole, I work in pharmacy and love studying and reading about derm products and all of that good stuff. Your skin problem really does sound like a late onset allergy from the acrylic. But I've also read about people's palms and hands peeling after getting their nails done, and they ended up putting a basic antifungal cream on afterwards and it prevented further peeling. One other option (not sure your skin type), there is a form of eczema that affect's people's hands and feet and can be set off from various things (i.e. acrylic). I really like using Neosporin lotion for eczema, it's so thick and really helps keep that moisture in! Not sure if this helps, but I hope it does!
The same EXACT thing happens to my mom when she gets her nails done. They would itch like crazy, get swollen then her hand/fingers would peel. She figured out after a couple years that she is allergic to the clear sealant they put on your nails before they layer the acrylic gelish stuff you know after they dip the brush into the powder and then put it on your nail. (Hope that made sense!) She has to tell them to not let the liquid touch her cuticles! This was something that at first she wasn't allergic to but became allergic after getting her nails done for a while. Hope this helps you hun! ;)
I have had problems with acrylics too. It's not the acrylic powder but the liquid they dip the brush in that gets me. I get itchy and red and peel-y, and it burns. It goes away but I would avoid acrylics if possible. If you HAVE to have them, tell the nail tech. If they're any good, they have an alternative that does not cause a reaction.
I may had the same reaction to primer. I tried more than 3 kinds..which deems my body telling me to just give it up don't put on acrylic anymore. Unless! There is an alternative to a primer!!
The same thing happened to me while practicing acrylics in Cosmetology school. I was allergic to a chemical in the primer, which is what you get put on before they actually put the acrylic part on. That could be what is happening to you. My cuticles actually stung and turned bright red and felt raw for awhile afterward.
Also... I watched the same show... Courtney Kerr and her collab w/ Bobble Bar. I absolutely love her hair, & your hair reminds me of a brunette version. I showed my hubby your hair from your recent date night vid... and he thought I should definitely do the same. His words " wow her hair is sexy hot"! :)
I think the problem with the acrylic is an ingredient they add into the acrylic powder to make it last longer and stay on my mums had it and the lady admitted she had added something. See if they have changed products or try somewhere else ? Xx
Nicole Guerriero The same exact thing happens to me when I use to get acrylic nails!! The itching is so bad!! I don't get them done anymore. I do miss them. Tip for you: Benadryl helps A LOT with the itchiness! I am now trying to grow my nails naturally with the help of gel manicures. I thought I was the only one that happened to me glad I'm not alone :)
NICOLE! It's the acrylic! My mom use to get her names done all the time and the same thing happens to her now as she's gotten older she gets organic gel done now & no itchy hands:) try it out girllll
It could be the acrylic, liquid, or primer that she's allergic to. Either bc hes using a new one or she does it too often for years so she's developed an allergy to it.
I personally LOVE your short hair and find it suits you so so well! I've actually been considering cutting my hair like when you first did just so it can grow out and get rid of my split ends, I just haven't done it yet haha
I follow a fee girls on TH-cam and once they become a little "famous" they start changing. Nicole is the only girl that always remains the same no matter what. Love her!
A diet isn't always a bad thing nor does it always mean to lose weight. I think that a lot of girls and women think that way because of media and growing up learning to be self-conscious of how we look.
I had the same reaction after years of acrylic nails! I went to the doc and they said I had become allergic to the primer (usually the dark brown bottle they use) they use before putting on the acrylic. The work around for me has been "diamond nails" which is where they put on the nail tips, the chemicals are mild and all they do is dip your nails in powder and shape them (you can even do this one at home its that easy! If you want to know the product names they used on me and I have purchased just drop me a line). The other option is having the nail technician putting a nail tip on then using the regular gel nail polish. This allows for length/shape you desire and the support from the gel nail polish.
Once your taste buds ween off the sugar, you will be well adjusted & your body will feel great! your tastes & palette will adjust to reality too & not require everything to be so sweet. For example, practice by getting used to unsweetened apple sauce as opposed to regular. Right now it will taste bland but its terrible how most Americans taste buds are acclimated to needing excess sweetener. & if you are really dedicated & stay away from it, when you do consume it, it will make you sick !! my biggest tip is avoid anything with white flour.. which is everything.. its a lot of work but i love clean eating. it will optimize your efforts. Good luck !
I love your hair short and it is so in for this fall season! Cut it short one more time and then grow it out! Since the cut is so popular I'm sure a lot of women would love to see more short hair tutorials because your hair is always looking flawless
That happens to me too! About a month ago I got my acrylics put back on and every single finger started peeling after my cuticles started to swell and itch like crazy! You aren't alone girl, the struggle, and who wants gross peeling fingers?! I used Neosporin and it seemed to help a lot with the cuticles but as for the peeling there's not you can do after it starts in my experience.
Acrylic nail primer allergic reaction!!!!! That happened to me too...................................... I was itchy for and swollen all around my cuticles it was horrible!!!! I found out it was a new primer they started using that helps bond the acrylic to the nails just ask them to use old primer and you will be good to go girl ;)
my hair dresser uses kitoka oil in her salon, it smells amazing and no matter how much you put in your hair it never looks greasy. Your hair just kind of soaks it all up and it leaves it so soft ! I've found it on random websites just googling it.
Hello! I watch your channel all. The. Time. Really. It's insanely amazing. However, I was wondering if you could PLEASE make a video on what makeup brushes are the bomb dig, and how to use them. Thanks! Xo, Love Rochelle!!
It's a allergic reaction caused from over priming. Too much priming and priming too close to your cuticle will cause red, swollen, and itchy symptoms. You can neutralize it by soaking your fingers in baking soda and tap water (1 tablespoon to 1 cup tap water). Hope that helps!
it could be that the person you are going to isn't disinfecting its implements correctly and isn't using a new file or buffer on each client as to that carries germs. also the drill has to be disinfected. thats the only thing i can think of that might cause you to have a reaction or like you said maybe its just the acrylic, idk.
I have an acrylic allergy, gels don't do it to me and I've also found that vitamin c serum on my hands/cuticles after manicures helps them not get red and inflamed.
I had the same issue with my nails, I researched it didn't find anything. Everybody would tell me I was allergic to the acrylic or I was allergic to the glue. I would always get my nails done since I was 17. Any who, I took them off 6 months later I went to get them done same reaction happened. So I left it alone and stop getting it done. But I love acrylic nails !!!! I went in the hunt for an alternative, and found SNS. It's great doesn't give me the reaction and the plus is that it doesn't damage you nails. Try SNS nails, I know here in Orlando Fl they have it I know if I go down south to Tampa they don't. So hope this gives you and alternative.
I have been wearing Acrylic nails since grade 7, and I too just recently became allergic! Sooo annoying! I now do my own, and I am careful when I apply mine and make sure I do not get the liquid on my skin at all, and I have been fine. It is a horrible feeling, mine were so itchy I'd put them in a bag of ice water so I wouldn't scratch. I used polysporn for a bit and that helped it heal faster!
Nicole!!!! About your itchy hands - I had it too!!!!! You do need to change your diet and it's a good thing you mentioned it cuz it has to do with what you eat. I don't know if it's a age 25-30 thing, but I got it too both itchiness and peeling. At first I thought it was some kinda fungus but I too was a junk junkie and a sugar addict. Then I made some more healthy choices like whole grains, fruits and veggies, smoothies, and tons tons tons tons and tons of water. I cut out processed foods, fast food, sodas and candy :( I know but it made a difference. So change your diet habits and see what happens :) I promise it'll get better! Love ya!

maybe she is sensitive to nail primer. some people are sensitive to acid primers, especially the ones with high procentage of acid!
You look extra beautiful in this video

Vlog MORE!! it would never be boring to us!!
It would definitely be entertaining

I know that's so gross! But my mom carries her own nail bag with her own tools so that the nail people can use that solely on her :)

I love Nicole so much! She has such a fun personality. Love watching all her videos :)!
You should get full fringe bangs! Perfect for Fall && they'll help hide your eyebrows during their growth
I wish this girl would vlog her life. im sure we would all want to see that!
Would love to see a video on what diet you guys choose! Or your fitness routine!
if you are allergic to acrylic try a salon with nextgeneration nails it is artificial but a dip in powder instead of a brush on acrylic liquid. if you have anymore questions my salon in florida provide them and it's also organic and WAAAYYYYY healthier for your actual nail beds
for real you know how to film a vlog! we get the feel of the trip without too much footage ! A lot of bloggers put up 20 minute blogs of nothing much but yours was short and sweet :)
Noooo keep it short you rock it so gooddd
USE OLIVE OIL ON YOUR BROWS! I few years back I over plucked my brows TO THE MAX (you know, trying to make my brows identical twins instead of sisters) and I'd heard that if you apply olive oil onto your brows before you go to bed and then leave it on there overnight that your brows will grow back heaps quick.I used this method and after a couple of weeks my brows had pretty much grown out. I would say they were completely grown out by the 4-5 week mark :) xxx
Castor oil too!
Vaseline really works for me.
castor oil works very well to grow brows, I use vaseline too, both of them work really well!! My brows were not growing AT ALL for years but since I've started using this I've got my brows back!!! yay!! and you can use it on lashes too!
Nicole! Please do a Cruella Deville make up & hair halloween tutorial (:
That would be awesome!
OMG PLZ DO IT. That sounds amazing.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair this length/color/style. SO sophisticated and chic and on-trend! Perfection.
Nicole!!
You should do a video vlog type of thing where every week you will update us on how your diet is going!! You could do like things what you ate, cheat meals, struggles you're facing, cravings, and exercises you've been doing. Please consider it Nicole I would love to hear your journey with health and fitness and to hear the things other girls are going through with just starting out!
Watching it without HD cuz I'm about the life. How can you wait after Nicole posts a video? You just can't!!!!
I seriously loved the vlog portion. It was not boring at all. But that's just me. (;
I agree , I also loved the vlog part :) More Vloggggs Nicole !
Me too I wanted more vlog
I like this "little bit of everything" type of video!
Loved this video. You really established it well putting all the content fluently together. I love how you just didn't chuck all these videos together. Love you Nicole xo
Nicole yess i had not pu my nails fot a while and then when i went back i found out im allergic. To the liquid or something. I get real itchy on my fingers n i hate it
I love this video!!!!! I just wanna come be yours and Jeremy's love child and play with the cats forever and a day!!! Love you guys.
Haha I love this so true
There aren't many people that I will just sit and listen to their chit chat videos... But girl.. I'd listen to you read the phone book FOR SURE! Lol
The itchy feeling on your hand, is it ONLY when you get your nails done? Because I get the same feeling but I have eczema. (to the extreme) it gets worst in the winter/fall.
Eczema suckkkkkkks. I have it too 😩
When I was young I used to have really bad eczema on my arms and back of my legs then it went away but now its come back on my arms and on my neck and I really can not stop myself from scratching.
Many eczema conditions are usually allergy related. I had eczema from head to toe (literally), to the point of my hair falling out in patches from the eczema on my head. - Ladies try looking into your diets for some clues, I've eliminated manyyy things from my diet and because of that I have managed to completely get rid of my eczema. #SorryForTheEssay
its impossible not to smile while watching her videos, love you nicole
I love that you did the video this way. Absolutely loved the vlog part and your kitty! So cuute.
For real??? This 'youtube friends' stuff should stop its so rude to Nicole! What happened to private messaging!
I'm not trying to be rude but why is that rude? People share the love of watching Nicole's videos and connect through youtubers who has helped / brought positive attitudes and influence other people to smile.
Exactly, I think it's becoming a trend more than anything, just to gain popularity, rather than friendship (in most cases).
I just find it disrespectful- the purpose of the comments (in my opinion anyways!) is to discuss the video, ask Nicole questions, etc. it's kind of sad to come down here and see 4 or 5 right off the bat that have nothing to do with the video. There's nothing wrong with wanting followers/friends! I just wish people wouldn't take advantage of popular channels to advertise, that's all :) I know it would bother me! And yes I agree; first just a couple people did it, now everyone is catching on!
That is so annoying! I hate when I see people doing that. So disrespectful. 😠
The Other Parker I never did that and I got subscribers on my own. I think its disrespectful too, its spamming! I delete when people spam on my videos
Nicooooooole! Can you please please pleeeeease do a Jessica Rabbit tutorial?!?! I really wanna dress up as her for Halloween!:)
have you ever seen AndreasChoice video on Jessica Rabbit? ITS AMAZING!
Also, madeyewlook channel has a great jessica rabbit tutorial!
Thank you! Ill watch both!:)
Can't wait for Halloween tutorials! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Omg yes! That started happening to me last 2 times I did my nails, I didn't get the swollen fingers but my palms started itching amd then they start to peel, I tried everything to take it off lotion, scrubs, everything u can think off, but nothing worked! Eventually all went away, what I think happened was we are allergic to a type of acrylic, maybe the person u go to changed brands? It don't even have to be the acrylic, anything new they used probably causes it. So girl don't worry about it and just relax and try a different place, or talk to your nail guy.
I have a similar reaction except it's just my cuticles that peel after they've been swollen and itchy for 2-3 days. It sucks! Ive been doing my nails for years and for the past few months i started having the reactions....but I'm so stubborn. I need alternatives! I love my acrylics. Can't live without them!
I really like your hair short. You can always put in your extensions if you need length.. Love it when you vlog also..
I use to wear acrylics for years and I stopped wearing them for a while and the last few times I got them put back on they did the same thing to me. My nails felt really itchy and I also had the cuticle irritation so I just got them taken off because I couldn't stand the itchiness lol. I think acrylics just aren't for me anymore 😔
I just got stilettos for my sisters wedding and as soon as she applied the nails and the acrylic my fingers had a burning sensation! It creeped me out and I too have the itchiness now. Idk if I should remove them? Do you know why this happens?
midnightbirdy sometimes the primer they use to bond the acrylic to the nail and that can burn really bad. But if it's like burning for a long time I would definitely get them sloughed off.
Could it be from when they are shaving your nail and clip the cuticle? That's happened to me before and then the acrylic felt like my fingers were on fire.
I am a nail tech..and im not positive as to why this is happening, but it could be because they are using MMA (illegal and poisonous acrylic) instead of EMA. Try a different nail salon before calling it quits with the acrylic. there are so many brands of acrylic out there and your salon may have switched it up on you and got MMA because its cheaper. Hope this helps!
are you sure you don't have gel nails? gel nails do burn when you get a fill and put them under the light.
+Jenna question for you Jenna, I get gel manicures, not acrylic just gel polish and when they put it on it BURNS! Like burns so bad I can barely stand it. Then it dries and I'm fine, but my nails are ratchet when the gel comes off, essentially forcing me to go get another gel mani asap...any thoughts??? Is this common?!? Oh, and hey Nicole, your videos are awesome!! Totally inspired me to get my pretty on again and I just did a hugeeeee two week long makeup haul including drug store, bh, Mac, elf, etc. Ridiculous!
Its pretty common for your nails to burn for a few second when under the light. even mine do it. it happens when your nails are thin..nothing to worry about though. It depends if your nail salon is taking the gel off properly. ever since I've been doing nails (over a year now) I've kept gel polish on my nails and have never had a problem with my nails being too thin or destroyed. be sure your nail salon SOAKS OFF the gel polish using acetone instead of using an electric drill or filing your nail down. Hope this helps! (:
Thanks! They don't take it off I end up peeling it off because I get annoyed with it haha that's prob the reason they're so ratchet when I take it off !!!
Hey girl, so I had an issue with my left hand about 2 months ago. It just started itching like crazy, there were bumps all over it and it was peeling. It was mainly in the palm of my hand but it went up my fingers and on the sides too. Now I have random peeling on just small parts my my fingers. I thought it was some kind of a chemical peel from tanning bed cleaner but I have no idea. I just made sure to use a TON of lotion and balms to just keep the pain to a minimum.
Hey Nicole, I work in pharmacy and love studying and reading about derm products and all of that good stuff. Your skin problem really does sound like a late onset allergy from the acrylic. But I've also read about people's palms and hands peeling after getting their nails done, and they ended up putting a basic antifungal cream on afterwards and it prevented further peeling. One other option (not sure your skin type), there is a form of eczema that affect's people's hands and feet and can be set off from various things (i.e. acrylic). I really like using Neosporin lotion for eczema, it's so thick and really helps keep that moisture in! Not sure if this helps, but I hope it does!
Look gorgeous in this video Nicole! Hair, outfit and makeup is on point :p
You look so much like khole kardashian it's crazy lol
I never really realized that until this video!
Even the voice
I noticed that too!!!
I've always thought she could be one of the Kardashians
OMG I LOVE YOU 😍💕😘. Are you making a palette with Anastasia Beverly Hills?!?!
YAAAAASS!!! That would be the best!!!!
If she is,am deff gona buy it
@ruby kaur yes definitely me too! I know jaclyn hill is
Me too !! I hope soo
If she is it would be amazing!!! Jaclyn is!
The same EXACT thing happens to my mom when she gets her nails done. They would itch like crazy, get swollen then her hand/fingers would peel. She figured out after a couple years that she is allergic to the clear sealant they put on your nails before they layer the acrylic gelish stuff you know after they dip the brush into the powder and then put it on your nail. (Hope that made sense!) She has to tell them to not let the liquid touch her cuticles! This was something that at first she wasn't allergic to but became allergic after getting her nails done for a while. Hope this helps you hun! ;)
I have had problems with acrylics too. It's not the acrylic powder but the liquid they dip the brush in that gets me. I get itchy and red and peel-y, and it burns. It goes away but I would avoid acrylics if possible. If you HAVE to have them, tell the nail tech. If they're any good, they have an alternative that does not cause a reaction.
Thay happen to me with acrilics and it was the primer
I may had the same reaction to primer. I tried more than 3 kinds..which deems my body telling me to just give it up don't put on acrylic anymore. Unless! There is an alternative to a primer!!
Yes I am here early, no I am not studying. #priorities
I want to see a hiuse tour! THUMBS UP so she sees, I love house tours :D
House*
The same thing happened to me while practicing acrylics in Cosmetology school. I was allergic to a chemical in the primer, which is what you get put on before they actually put the acrylic part on. That could be what is happening to you. My cuticles actually stung and turned bright red and felt raw for awhile afterward.
So glad to see. New video from you! Can't wait to hear your secret news and to see your Halloween tutorials! 🎀
I would LOVE if you started vlogging :)
*Nicole waking up*
Jeremy: She woke up like this! Beauty gury my ass!
What does that even mean? Your ass is a beauty guru?
Loved this video/vlog! You are too cute!! P.s.... where did you get that shirt? Is it a shirt? I want it! :)
Also... I watched the same show... Courtney Kerr and her collab w/ Bobble Bar. I absolutely love her hair, & your hair reminds me of a brunette version. I showed my hubby your hair from your recent date night vid... and he thought I should definitely do the same. His words " wow her hair is sexy hot"! :)
I think the problem with the acrylic is an ingredient they add into the acrylic powder to make it last longer and stay on my mums had it and the lady admitted she had added something. See if they have changed products or try somewhere else ? Xx
Nicole Guerriero The same exact thing happens to me when I use to get acrylic nails!! The itching is so bad!! I don't get them done anymore. I do miss them. Tip for you: Benadryl helps A LOT with the itchiness! I am now trying to grow my nails naturally with the help of gel manicures. I thought I was the only one that happened to me glad I'm not alone :)
I'm going to just guess that you are doing a makeup palette or something with makeup I hope soooooo 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
Noo dont grow you hair out it suits you soooo much you rock that bob!
I've never been able to understand how some TH-cam videos will say 5k likes but only 300 views.. 😳 lol
a view means someone watch the whole video; beginning to end.
NICOLE! It's the acrylic! My mom use to get her names done all the time and the same thing happens to her now as she's gotten older she gets organic gel done now & no itchy hands:) try it out girllll
Love you Nicole! You're so refreshing to watch!
You should cut your hair again ;-) i cutted mine like Courtney Kerr... Love you with shorter hair
Your hair looks great in your picture! So pretty.
Tee W thank you. I cut my hair a little bit shorter again. Watch my instagram @sarahn84travelexpert
maybe the guy you go to changed the acrylic powder that he uses? maybe thats what you're allergic too
It could be the acrylic, liquid, or primer that she's allergic to. Either bc hes using a new one or she does it too often for years so she's developed an allergy to it.
Cut your hair short one more time is my vote
I second that!!! Chop that hair,, girl!!
Yesss
I personally LOVE your short hair and find it suits you so so well! I've actually been considering cutting my hair like when you first did just so it can grow out and get rid of my split ends, I just haven't done it yet haha
I follow a fee girls on TH-cam and once they become a little "famous" they start changing. Nicole is the only girl that always remains the same no matter what. Love her!
I think you should grow your hair out :p loved your beautiful long locks
really? I really love her short hair ^.^
i love it both ways - of course, if she cuts/grows out this length a certain way, she can always pop in extensions :) best of both worlds!
Diet??? You don't need no diet gurl. Xoxo.
Not to lose weight, just to be healthy:)
she shouldn't call it a "diet", it should be a lifestyle change, if you just diet for a while once you stop you will gain it alllll back.
A diet isn't always a bad thing nor does it always mean to lose weight. I think that a lot of girls and women think that way because of media and growing up learning to be self-conscious of how we look.
Khloe Kardashian is that you
I had the same reaction after years of acrylic nails! I went to the doc and they said I had become allergic to the primer (usually the dark brown bottle they use) they use before putting on the acrylic. The work around for me has been "diamond nails" which is where they put on the nail tips, the chemicals are mild and all they do is dip your nails in powder and shape them (you can even do this one at home its that easy! If you want to know the product names they used on me and I have purchased just drop me a line). The other option is having the nail technician putting a nail tip on then using the regular gel nail polish. This allows for length/shape you desire and the support from the gel nail polish.
Once your taste buds ween off the sugar, you will be well adjusted & your body will feel great! your tastes & palette will adjust to reality too & not require everything to be so sweet. For example, practice by getting used to unsweetened apple sauce as opposed to regular. Right now it will taste bland but its terrible how most Americans taste buds are acclimated to needing excess sweetener. & if you are really dedicated & stay away from it, when you do consume it, it will make you sick !! my biggest tip is avoid anything with white flour.. which is everything.. its a lot of work but i love clean eating. it will optimize your efforts. Good luck !
you seem kind of sad in this video Nicole, idk something about your "umph" is missing.
I hope everything is well with you, xoxo
All these comments about the nails thing happening to them too makes me not want to get my nails done, EVER! lol I'm scared.
No Nicole necklace.. weird lol!
She flawless! You have the cutest relationship of life.
I love your hair short and it is so in for this fall season! Cut it short one more time and then grow it out! Since the cut is so popular I'm sure a lot of women would love to see more short hair tutorials because your hair is always looking flawless
Whoa! You seriously look like Khloe Kardashian in this video.
you look like khloe kardashian
Go short one more time, it's looks really nice on you
That happens to me too! About a month ago I got my acrylics put back on and every single finger started peeling after my cuticles started to swell and itch like crazy! You aren't alone girl, the struggle, and who wants gross peeling fingers?! I used Neosporin and it seemed to help a lot with the cuticles but as for the peeling there's not you can do after it starts in my experience.
I love your laugh! Your attitude and vibe put me in a good mood!
Acrylic nail primer allergic reaction!!!!!
That happened to me too......................................
I was itchy for and swollen all around my cuticles it was horrible!!!!
I found out it was a new primer they started using that helps bond the acrylic to the nails
just ask them to use old primer and you will be good to go girl ;)
my hair dresser uses kitoka oil in her salon, it smells amazing and no matter how much you put in your hair it never looks greasy. Your hair just kind of soaks it all up and it leaves it so soft ! I've found it on random websites just googling it.
girl you are fab. I am obsessed with your channel!
You are in such an adorable mood in this video! I love it!
Haha! Your energy in this video is giving me LIFE! Lolol, I love it!!
Hello! I watch your channel all. The. Time. Really. It's insanely amazing. However, I was wondering if you could PLEASE make a video on what makeup brushes are the bomb dig, and how to use them. Thanks! Xo, Love Rochelle!!
It's a allergic reaction caused from over priming. Too much priming and priming too close to your cuticle will cause red, swollen, and itchy symptoms. You can neutralize it by soaking your fingers in baking soda and tap water (1 tablespoon to 1 cup tap water). Hope that helps!
it could be that the person you are going to isn't disinfecting its implements correctly and isn't using a new file or buffer on each client as to that carries germs. also the drill has to be disinfected. thats the only thing i can think of that might cause you to have a reaction or like you said maybe its just the acrylic, idk.
I have an acrylic allergy, gels don't do it to me and I've also found that vitamin c serum on my hands/cuticles after manicures helps them not get red and inflamed.
I had the same issue with my nails, I researched it didn't find anything. Everybody would tell me I was allergic to the acrylic or I was allergic to the glue. I would always get my nails done since I was 17. Any who, I took them off 6 months later I went to get them done same reaction happened. So I left it alone and stop getting it done. But I love acrylic nails !!!! I went in the hunt for an alternative, and found SNS. It's great doesn't give me the reaction and the plus is that it doesn't damage you nails. Try SNS nails, I know here in Orlando Fl they have it I know if I go down south to Tampa they don't. So hope this gives you and alternative.
Love you! Thank you for not having long commercials
I have been wearing Acrylic nails since grade 7, and I too just recently became allergic! Sooo annoying! I now do my own, and I am careful when I apply mine and make sure I do not get the liquid on my skin at all, and I have been fine. It is a horrible feeling, mine were so itchy I'd put them in a bag of ice water so I wouldn't scratch. I used polysporn for a bit and that helped it heal faster!
Nicole!!!! About your itchy hands - I had it too!!!!! You do need to change your diet and it's a good thing you mentioned it cuz it has to do with what you eat. I don't know if it's a age 25-30 thing, but I got it too both itchiness and peeling. At first I thought it was some kinda fungus but I too was a junk junkie and a sugar addict. Then I made some more healthy choices like whole grains, fruits and veggies, smoothies, and tons tons tons tons and tons of water. I cut out processed foods, fast food, sodas and candy :( I know but it made a difference. So change your diet habits and see what happens :) I promise it'll get better! Love ya!
Are you kidding? Your hair is not out of control, it looks so nice. If anything your hair looks more voluminous than mine. LOVE IT!!! WORK it girl.
I loved loved loved this random ramble/vlog vid!!! Please do more like this!!!!!!!!
