Can you share some nail horror stories?

One horror story is about a customer who got a really bad infection after getting a pedicure. The tools at the salon were not properly sterilized. Another is a woman who asked for a simple French manicure but the nail technician was so inexperienced that she ended up with uneven and lumpy nails. And there was also a case where a client had an allergic reaction to the nail polish used in the salon.

Well, I once heard a story where a girl used a cheap nail polish. It started peeling off really quickly and some of it got stuck in her hair when she was scratching her head. It was a total mess to get out.

One horror story is when a nail artist accidentally cut a client's skin really deep while trimming the cuticles. There was blood everywhere and the client was in pain. It was a really scary situation for both the client and the nail artist.

Sure. One horror story a nail artist might share is about a client who had extremely dirty and long nails. The smell was awful when they removed the old polish. It was a struggle to clean and shape the nails properly without gagging.

There was a person who got fake nails for a special occasion. They were really long and elaborate. But when she was trying to do some normal tasks like typing on a keyboard, she couldn't. She ended up breaking two of the nails while typing in a hurry. Then she had to deal with the jagged edges which were constantly snagging on things like her clothes and hair. It was a nightmare and she regretted getting such long and impractical fake nails.

Once, there was a girl who always bit her nails. One day, she noticed a strange black mark under one of her nails. As days passed, it grew and started to spread like a dark, inky stain. She felt a constant pain and itching. Then, she began to hear faint scratching noises coming from under her nails at night. Terrified, she tried to cut the nail off but it was as hard as stone. Eventually, she went to a doctor who was horrified to find that there was some sort of unknown fungus - like organism growing inside her nail bed that seemed almost alive.

Sure. There was a time when a lady got a nail dip and the color started to fade really fast. It was supposed to be a long - lasting color, but within a couple of days, it looked like she had old, worn - out nails. It was a waste of money as she had paid a good amount for the service.

A guy in a buzzfeed story had his nail ripped out during a sports accident. It was so painful that he almost passed out right on the field. He had to go through a long process of treatment and rehabilitation to get his finger back to normal. The whole experience was not only physically but also mentally traumatic for him as he was constantly reminded of the pain every time he looked at his finger.

A common one is chipping. You paint your nails so nicely, but within a short time, they start to chip, especially if you do a lot with your hands. It looks really untidy.

Sure. One common horror story is getting a nail polish color that looks completely different from what was expected. It could be due to bad lighting in the salon or the nail tech not having a good understanding of color mixing. Another is having a nail enhancement, like gels or acrylics, that start lifting off way too soon, sometimes within a few days. This can be both unattractive and can also cause damage to the natural nail.
