NEVER WEARING ACRYLICS AGAIN (WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC)

Ive had acrylics (for the first time) for about 2 weeks now. And it had been FINE... I hadn’t broken one, chipped one, etc. Until yesterday. I was on an inflatable waterslide, and I was holding onto the net on top... I told someone not to push me down bc I “couldn’t get my finger out of the net”... but they pushed me down anyways. I felt a sharp pain when i got to the bottom, and I looked down. My. Nail. Was. Snatched. Like y’all. My soul whole left my body. I screamed. I have never felt something so painful.

Okay if you have a weak stomach dont scroll bc its about to be graphic

The white thing you see? My nail bed. You know that part in a standup Angela Johnson did where the lady was talking about how her “nail go dat way”? Well guess what? So does mine now. We had to go to TWO different ER’s because one place didnt know WTF to do lol. The second place took an X-ray, had me wait for hours, gave me BABY TYLENOL (I’m 16, mind you), and numbing cream equivalent to hand lotion (didn’t do anything), and then the real fun began....

THE OPERATION.

Yall. I was terrified. I hate needles more than I hate Rue dying in the hunger games. BUT THEN I WAS TOLD THE ANESTHESIA WAS GONNA HURT. So I was nervous, basically had a nervous breakdown, but my mom played Cosmo Pyke and let me play word cookies on her phone until the lady came in. When she came in, I was nervous asf I shaked so hard. Fast forward a little bit, I was trying to calm down, then she injected the needle. The needle alone was injected into the lower knuckle of that finger which kinda already hurt, but THE ACTUAL SOLUTION FELT LIKE SATAN CRAWLED INTO MY VEINS AND SLEPT THERE FOR A BIT.... it felt like basically fire in my veins. Yes, I cried lmao. But after that I felt nothing so I didn’t care. The doctor basically ripped my nail out from the nail bed, put aluminum foil where my nail is supposed to be, and stitched the aluminum foil to my finger.

And then, she wrapped it in a splint thingy

Because obviously I can’t be trusted with anything anymore. It hurts like a mf still, and I have to go to work today, so yall pray for me lol

MORAL OF THE STORY: should I get yellow nails next? 🙂

Jk.... don’t get nails if you actually do cool kid teenager activities bc issa risk.

Update:

Im 16 and my mother had to brush my hair in the shower bc I basically cant use my right hand🙂 it’s even more awkward bc i was literally butt naked lmao

Update 2:

My stitches hurt (because where they’re placed), but the actual injury feels almost like nothing!! Im glad I’m feeling better bc that pain was UNBEARABLE😒😒
