How do I get unity back after installing nVidia drivers

How do I get unity back after installing nVidia drivers

I know this might look like a repeated question
but I've been looking for a solution everywhere I could think of with no
success
I am using a Dell Inspiron N5110
It has intel shared graphics and an nVidia GeForce GT 525M graphics card
Running Ubuntu 13.04 64-Bit
Which is very bad for some reason
anyways,
I installed drivers for the nVidia card from the Xorg Edgers
Huge mistake
because now, unity won't appear
I can only see my desktop and the files on it
which sucks because I can't really run any programs
The only reason I'm able to use Chrome to write this is because I have an
html page on the desktop
I open it, then it opens in chrome
other than that, the launcher and top bar are gone
I can only close chrome by closing all tabs
and have to shutdown from terminal
I installed bumblebee, nvidia drivers
removed them
reinstalled them again
NOTHING CHANGED
I AM STILL UNABLE TO USE UNITY
I know someone somewhere has a solution other than reinstalling ubuntu
Can you please help me internet?
