    Default My acrylic nails smell like garlic.

    I've washed and washed and the garlic smell doesn't come out.

    Any tips?

    When I got acrylics, I'd get them taken off and completly redone about every other month or so.

    I use lemon juice on my real nails after cutting up garlic so maybe that will help. Just a quick soak seems to do the trick. I don't know if it will hurt your acrylics though so better check on that first.

    Is the smell from cutting up garlic, or possibly something else?

    If it is actual garlic, I know that they sell stainless steel bars in kitchen stores that you are supposed to rub your hands over while running them under cold water.

    I also know that you don't need to buy the bar...a stainless steel spoon will work just as well.

    It's from actual garlic. I've only had the nails for 3 days.

    I have that book and I like it a lot... I haven't found anything on nails, though.

    I know it's early, but I'd suggest giving in and just getting a very early fill/repair. Or, call the salon. I've had them give me some good nail tips before.

    Did you try using Non-Acetone nail polish remover on them? Don't use any kind with acetone though that will eat your nails.

    Yes I agree soak them in pure undiluted lemon juice at full strength.After
    you finish that you can also do a hand treatment with lemon juice,sugar,
    and honey (mix all three ingredients together to form a paste,then massage all over your hands for a smoothing moisturizing treatment. If the lemon juice does not work to get rid of the odors just remove them (which is a pain soaking them forever and all).
