This happened to me. I only let them use a manual buffer now.

Ouch!! I hate that. I don’t think I would remove the gel.

Keep the gels. They’re protecting your nail beds. They’ll grow out eventually.

I used to get gel manis all the time before covid, but this was only my THIRD manicure in a very long time. I thought she might be over buffing with the electric file, and I said, "make sure you don't get much of the nail" but it was too late.

Now it hurts when I apply pressure to my fingernails, or even when I type. What do I do?!? Remove all gel and wait until it grows back? Keep getting gels to protect the nail but make sure they never buff so much again? Help!
