Can the chemicals from acrylic nails make your real nails fall off?

I had acrylics on for a few months and recently had them taken off. Now my real nails seem to be slowly coming off. There is no pain/swelling/redness/fungus. None have fallen off completely, but a few seem to be detaching themselves from the skin.Can the chemicals from acrylic nails make your real nails fall off?
Depends on the acrylic used. MMA (methyl methacrylate) IS a very harsh chemical, and is actually banned in many places for use in nail enchancement, as it can cause lots of problems, alothough some nail techs are cheap and use it anyways. That may be a possible cause. Fungus may be another one. Aside from that, im not sure what it could be. Just keep your nails and cuticles hydrated with oil or cream and hope for the best.Can the chemicals from acrylic nails make your real nails fall off?
omg yes. it happened to me. it makes your nail brittle and soft. if you do it once you have to keep doing it because you wont be able to use your own nails. i recommend you dont use acrylic nails or a wrap.
Yes, acrylic nails can affect your real nails permanently. Some people don't have a problem at all and some do. My mom's nails split up the middle and never grew back whole...
Thats completly normal. In about a week they should become normal again
