So, i have normal length nails... i used to get my nails done all the time until i got poor and just didnt have time anymore haha.
but one of my nails, my left pointer finger....fell off and its still like in the process of growing back, it like chipped off towards tha bottom, next to the cuticle, and then i jus kinda kept pulling and tugging at it haha bad choice but hey
is it a bad idea to get acrylics on top of that one pointer finger???? Should i let that one finger grow out or wat?(tha nails u get done @ like a nail place, that are kind of fake, but not like glue on ones....acrylics.)

No. Fake nails encourage fungus to grow underneath them. You could get a serious fungal infection if your nailbed is exposed. And, if left untreated, it could get into your bloodstream and cause even more problems besides the nasty yellow fungus nails.

I would just let your nail(s) grow out. I used to get acrylics a lot and they ruined my real nails. The best thing to do is let your real nails grow and look for a place that will do an acrylic overlay. It's still your nails they don't file them down or anything like they do for regular acrylic nails. That's what a nail technician suggested I do.
Hope this helped :)

hey hon. if you injurred your nailbed, and it hasnt grown out a normal length...noone in their right mind from a nail salon is going to do an acrylic for you. it could get infected. it's best to let it grow back out naturally. i have mine done. after so long, my nail beds have weakened, and my natural nails are so thin when they grow out, they break off and hurt sooo bad. plus if you get a fake one on there and accidentally rip it off, you're very likely to do a considerable amount of damage to that nail. just let it grow out. if it is embarassing, keep a bandaid over it until it looks good again!

Most nail salons will not put an acrylic nail on skin, I suggest you wait until it grows out, and dont get glue on nails, you would be putting super glue on your skin, imagine trying to take that off... OUCH!!
