* Green nails are a sign of a fungal infection. This is a common issue with artificial nails, especially if they're not properly applied or removed.
* Fungal infections can spread. If you apply new acrylics over an infected nail, the fungus could thrive under the acrylic, making the infection worse and potentially causing more damage.
What you should do:
1. See a dermatologist or podiatrist. They can diagnose the infection and prescribe the appropriate treatment, usually an antifungal medication.
2. Avoid getting new acrylics until the infection is cleared. This could take several weeks.
3. Take care of your nails while they're healing. Keep them clean and dry, and don't pick or bite them.
Once your nails are healthy, you can get new acrylics, but be sure to:
* Find a reputable salon. Look for a salon with good hygiene practices, experienced technicians, and positive reviews.
* Talk to the technician about your history of fungal infections. They can advise you on how to minimize the risk of reinfection.
* Follow your technician's advice on nail care. This will help keep your nails healthy and prevent future infections.
Remember, your health and safety are important. Don't risk further damage by ignoring a fungal infection.
