Nail polish remover help!

[SweetKisses]

Hey girls. The other day I was applying toe nail polish and I applied too much, so I wiped it away with my fingers and it ended up getting on my index finger, middle finger, and thumb. After I realized how much went on my fingers, I knew that water and soap would not get rid of it. So, I vigorously rubbed nail polish remover on my fingers and the nail polish went away, but now those three fingers are all really, really dry and have a cracked appearance. I've tried using lotion, but it didn't make it any smoother. Do you have any recommendations of how to make this dry and cracked appearance go away? I don't know what to do! Please help!!

I've never had that happen to me personally. You could try using Vaseline and wearing gloves over them, which supposedly helps dry hands a lot. I use Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy lotions, and LOVE them! They're really good IMHO for dry hands.

Wow!, haven't this happen either..but maybe something with Aloe in it for healing...

Try exfoliating your hands and then doing one or both of the suggestions above

acetone is really drying so that may happen....this is usually just a temporary thing. sometimes when you soak your old acrylics off to get new ones, you see this happen too..it should comes off with good ole soap and water and lotion......

I would also recommend putting Vaseline or Aquaphor on your fingers and wearing a glove or a sock on your hand to bed. That should help let your skin absorb the moisture better.

definitely vaseline or aveeno with menthol. LOVE that lotion.

Try cuticle oil or cuticle cream.
