Welp I didn't get them taken off but my brother slammed my pinky finger in the door and the nail got all bruise and black and bloody then it fell off (I still have a crack there) :)

Yea I had that too. but I knew it would happen cuz they warned me it would. don't worry over a few months your nails will go back to normal.

Ugh tell me about it. I got covinced to get gel nails and hated how they left my nails when I took them off. Took me about a month to completely grow them out.

Yes! I will never ever get false nails again. My nails were so thin that when I applied the tiniest bit of force with my fingertips while touching something, the nail would fold backwards. Cringing just at the thought. OPI's nail envy was my bff.
