What are the common bad experiences in fake nail horror stories?

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.

One horror story I've heard was a client who kept changing their mind about the nail design. First, they wanted a simple French manicure, then added a bunch of intricate details like tiny flowers and gems. After the nails were done, they complained that it was too flashy and demanded a redo for free. It was really frustrating for the nail technician as a lot of time and materials had been wasted.

One common horror story is when nail polish chips really fast. You just painted your nails all nice and then within a day or two, it starts looking all ragged. Another is when the color is not what you expected at all. You see it in the bottle as this beautiful shade but when it's on your nails, it's completely different.

A common one is clients being late. They book an appointment but show up half an hour or even an hour late. This throws off the nail tech's schedule for the whole day. For example, if there are other clients booked after, it can cause a domino effect of delays.

One common element is the fear of permanent damage. Whether it's from an accident where a nail is severely damaged or from an illness that attacks the nails. People are often horrified by the thought of never having normal - looking nails again. There are also stories where people have allergic reactions to nail products, which can cause the nails to become swollen, red, and painful.

One common element is unhygienic practices, like not sterilizing tools properly. Another is inexperienced technicians who make mistakes with the nail application. Also, using low - quality products can be a problem.

One common horror story is when the nail polish color turns out completely different from what the client expected. Maybe it looks great in the bottle but once it's on the nails, it's a whole different, and often unflattering, shade.

In the Fraxel laser horror stories, there are some people who had bad experiences with the practitioners. Some operators might not be well - trained enough. They could set the wrong parameters for the laser, which led to over - treatment. This could cause more damage to the skin than good. There are also reports of poor after - care advice. Some patients were not given proper instructions on how to take care of their skin post - treatment, like not being told clearly about avoiding sun exposure. This can lead to various problems like sunburn on the already sensitive skin, which can further worsen the overall result of the treatment.

Well, a lot of people report that cortisone injections have led to a significant weakening of the surrounding muscles. This can be really scary as it affects their normal movement. Also, in some cases, the injection seems to have triggered a sort of hormonal imbalance, leading to mood swings and other unwanted side effects. For example, a friend of mine got a cortisone injection and soon after started feeling very irritable and had problems sleeping, which she attributed to the injection.

Well, in many nail horror stories, there is often a transformation related to the nail. It could be a physical transformation like it turning into a sharp weapon or something that seems to have a mind of its own. There's also the psychological aspect where the character becomes obsessed or terrified about their nail. And a lot of times, there is a sense of contagion or spread, like the problem with the nail starts to affect other parts of the body or other people around them.
