Hello all! This is my very first post (yay, go me!). I'm just going to give you my life story and let you all advise me on what to do!

Basically, I got acrylics done for years and years until I, quite suddenly, developed an awful allergy to them. Yes, I've only been to discount salons who are probably using MME (see, I read!) Shame on me. Anywho, I am allergic to practically everything from grass to chicken meat. I tend to ignore my allergies because I'm stubborn. I have paper thin nails that won't grow. They're flimsy and bend easily. To top it all off, I bite them! OY VEY! I don't want any more dental work (yeah, years of nail biting will wear your poor chompers) and having fake nails on prevents me from biting them and makes me look less pathetic.

I'm looking into Gelish and Shellac, wondering if there's a possibility I will be allergic to them (I know there's a possbility, I mean how high are the chances, because I'm not quite sure what "gel" is). Or ANYTHING anyone can suggest to help me have pretty nails again.

Thank you so much and sorry for the book!
