However, the symptoms returned and she again noticed significant deterioration in her nails.
Woman is allergic to gel polish and cannot perform simple tasks
She said her nails had started to turn purple, which made her fear she would lose her finger altogether. When she did the application again, this time with acrylic nails, she felt the same reaction as when using gel polish.
As reported by the Independent, the woman described how the skin on her fingers felt like it was tearing like paper, causing severe pain and making even simple hand movements difficult. For her, the situation is so embarrassing that she has preferred to keep her hands hidden.
