I have a dumb question: My friend put the gel shellac on my nails (she's a professional, and I've had this done tons of times) but she accidentally nipped the top and side of my finger getting some dry skin off as I get really hard, cracking skin on the side/tips of my fingers. She's so great and this never happens (she's been doing it for years professionally)... but it's been almost a week and my finger is still hurting and it has not healed ( and I KNOW her utensils were clean, I also accidentally hit the cut again later that day which really hurt and probably dirtied it!). I feel like if I took the shellac off it would heal better, but is it ok to use acetone where it will definitely get into this cut?
I know it'll burn like crazy and I'm ok with that, I just don't want to get a bad infection from using the acetone. I also don't want to get an infection from keeping these nails on if it's stopping it from healing. I've been using Neosporin every day and it's not seeming to help.
I also don't want her to feel bad and kind of don't want to tell her... But I might have to. Any ideas nail techs?
