Well, in many nail horror stories, there is often a transformation related to the nail. It could be a physical transformation like it turning into a sharp weapon or something that seems to have a mind of its own. There's also the psychological aspect where the character becomes obsessed or terrified about their nail. And a lot of times, there is a sense of contagion or spread, like the problem with the nail starts to affect other parts of the body or other people around them.
Once, there was a girl who always bit her nails. One day, she noticed a strange black mark under one of her nails. As days passed, it grew and started to spread like a dark, inky stain. She felt a constant pain and itching. Then, she began to hear faint scratching noises coming from under her nails at night. Terrified, she tried to cut the nail off but it was as hard as stone. Eventually, she went to a doctor who was horrified to find that there was some sort of unknown fungus - like organism growing inside her nail bed that seemed almost alive.
One story could be about a person who had a really bad nail infection after getting a manicure at a dodgy salon. The infection spread and caused a lot of pain and swelling.
One horror story could be when the nail polish doesn't dry properly. You think it's dry, then you accidentally touch something and it gets all smudged. Another is when the color turns out completely different from what you expected on your nails. It might look nice in the bottle but hideous on your nails.
Well, there was a case where a nail tech applied acrylic nails too thickly. It made the client's fingers feel extremely heavy and uncomfortable, like they were carrying weights on their fingertips. Also, some nail techs might not sterilize their tools properly. There was an instance where a client got an infection because of unsterilized tools. It was a nightmare for the client with redness, swelling, and pain around the nails.
One horror story is when a woman got acrylic nails and they were applied too tightly. It led to her natural nails becoming infected. There was redness, swelling and pain. She had to go to the doctor to get antibiotics and eventually had to remove the acrylic nails to let her natural nails heal.
One horror story could be when the nail dip product didn't adhere properly. A girl got it done for a special occasion. But within hours, parts of it started to chip off, making her nails look really messy and ruining her whole look for the event.
There was a person who got fake nails for a special occasion. They were really long and elaborate. But when she was trying to do some normal tasks like typing on a keyboard, she couldn't. She ended up breaking two of the nails while typing in a hurry. Then she had to deal with the jagged edges which were constantly snagging on things like her clothes and hair. It was a nightmare and she regretted getting such long and impractical fake nails.
One common horror story is when nail polish chips really fast. You just painted your nails all nice and then within a day or two, it starts looking all ragged. Another is when the color is not what you expected at all. You see it in the bottle as this beautiful shade but when it's on your nails, it's completely different.
When nailing bamboo, the following methods can be used to reduce the risk of bamboo cracking. First of all, you can use an electric drill to drill a hole in the bamboo where the nail is nailed. The diameter of the hole should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the nail, so that the nail can better enter the bamboo and reduce the possibility of cracking. In addition, when using the nail, one had to take it easy and enter it bit by bit to avoid hitting it sideways. In addition, choosing some softer bamboo, such as red pine, willow, etc., could reduce the risk of cracking. In addition, keeping the bamboo in a moist environment also helps to prevent cracking. You can put a few basins of water or keep the air moist next to the bamboo products. In short, the above methods could be tried to reduce the splitting of the bamboo during nailing.
