QuestionI just recent had a french manicure done, the basic one gel. Around 3 hours my nails are sore, this is my first time so is that normal?
AnswerDear Tanya,
No, it's not normal for your fingers to be sore following a natural nail manicure.
If you've had nail enhancements done, the answer is still no. They should NOT be sore.
Reasons that your nails might be sore is if you went to a discount nail bar and they used and electric file aka drill on your nails. That should NEVER touch the natural nail and is only meant to shape the product.
Please refer to this page on my site to learn more about NSS and MMA and to learn if you've been mistreated at your salon:

IF you suspect you have been to an NSS (non standard salon) and/or suspect that they used MMA on your nails, I strongly urge you to report it to your local health board so that appropriate action may be taken.
Without the assistance of the general consumers, these types of salons will remain open and continue to abuse the unsuspecting public.
This page will inform of the differences between enhancement systems, and how to know which ones were applied to you: http://ongles-chez-victoria.tripod.com/victoriasnails/id16.html
Best of luck and best regards
