Nail injury: Your nails gets injured while wearing gel. These are little bruises and bleeding under the nail from doing the gel. They are common to see after you remove the gel.

Trauma to the nail: This represents trauma to the nail which is not uncommon with artificial nails- I would take a break and let your nails breathe for a bit and they will get better.
