alright i asked a question earlier about the acrylic nails that i had on....but i know that i definitely took of the whole acrylic overlay thing on my nail when i took them off myself. so why is there still a part on the bottom of my nail that looks like its acrylic? someone mentioned that it is called "the trench"? can someone please help and explain what this is and what i can do?

You natural nails were probably filed down to rough up the surface for the acrylic to adhere to and to take off a bit so the acrylic coat wouldn't be too thick looking. The trench is leftover from this process and you just have to be patient as it grows out.
In the meantime, you can apply a ridge filler and a light pink polish to make your nails look more even and healthy. Essie's Sugar Daddy is a pretty, sheer pink that looks natural and fresh. If you don't want to wear polish, then just file and buff your nails lightly. Apply a nail oil or plain lip balm to protect them and give them a bit of sheen.
