I put sunblock on the other day and it made my nail sticky. Then when I got sand on them, they got all nasty...how can I prevent this from happening??

Maybe I should be more specific. I did not mean to put it on there...I was putting suntan lotion other places, but it got on my nails. It was unavoidable.

Wear gloves when putting on sunblock or wear one or the other.

try putting on gloves when you put sunblock on or ask someone else to put it on for you. In the summer acrylic nails do get messed up, happens to everyone, but there is nothing wrong with having sand on them. I heard that if you put sand on your finger nails there is no need for a manicure or pedicure..yes i heard that from what a girl wants

I've never had that problem, sounds like your top coat is tacky or didn't set up right. Just in case wear gloves before applying sunscreen or try the new hip spray on stuff that doesn't need to be rubbed in.
Honestly, I've stopped wearing acrylic nails and gone back to my own. They were painful, expensive and too hard on my own nails.

I suggest using either a spray on sunblock from Bannana Boat. Or the sunblocks that look like glue sticks!

Either have someone else apply it for you, or wear latex gloves or saran wrap over your hands. Not sure what sunblock will do to the latex, so I'd just use saran wrap. Especially because there's a better chance that you have saran wrap more available than latex gloves Lol.

just use those new spray on ones that you don't have to rub in..they aren't messy...not sticky..and they won't ruin your acryllic.
