Restoring nails to a healthy, natural state is a priority, especially to prevent broken nails and fungus infections. Fungus thrives in damp, grubby places, which makes post-acrylic nails a perfect habitat. After safely removing acrylic, women are burdened with weak, brittle nails. While there is not a fast method to recondition damaged nails, weeks of treatments and gentle care can help restore them. Horrendous fungus infections and nail breakage can be prevented if you take care of nails after acrylics.

Take vitamin A, calcium supplements and vitamin B7 to prevent brittle nails. Eat a variety of healthy foods: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean protein and low-fat dairy products.

Apply a strengthening formula on the nails weekly. Use a cotton ball to apply the strengthening formula if it does not have an applicator.

Rub a micro-fine nail buffer on the nails weekly to buff them.

Trim the nails weekly. Use an emery board to file the nails, and file in one direction.
