infection after full set manicure?

I got a full set of tips put on today for SIL wedding friday. Ive had fake nails before, but this time I went to a new place, recomended to me by 3 people, and something feels wrong. My fingers feel like they have been slammed in a drawer. Under the fake nails feels very sore. Nothing looks red or inflamed, though.

What should I do? Is this normal sometimes, to have sore fingers after tips are put on?

Are my nails infected?
What should I do?

i had soreness after i got tips put on for my wedding. it was because it had been about 2 years since i had tips and i guess my nails werent used to them. it went away after a day or two.

I have felt soreness before from getting my nails done. As long as you do not see any redness on your nail bed, or green color which would be fungus.

When I have a new set of nails they often feel like that, they feel sort of tight. After a few days they sort of loosen up and feel normal again

Soreness can be normal after you get a full set.

But watch for fungus.

sometimes my nails are more sensative when It's that time of the month..... as long as it's not red or puffy you should be fine
