My fingers have been swollen and painful since getting acrylic nails applied.

It is important to keep your hands and fingers well moisturized, especially if you have had acrylic nails in the past. You can use a fragrance-free moisturizer such as Base Glaxal, Cerave, Cutibase, or Aveeno. Try to avoid irritants like dish soaps and cleaners, and always wear gloves when using them. Using a fragrance-free soap like Dove can also help. Remember to apply moisturizer after washing your hands or using hand sanitizer.
