Hi all,
I’m looking for a bit of advice.
I had an elderly client today for her first appointment.
I usually only do gel manicures, but when she arrived today the first thing she said was that she didn’t want anything on her nails due to her arthritis - she said she doesn’t want to draw attention to her hands.
So I just ended up filing, TRIED to do a bit of Cuticle work, and gave her a luxury manicure with exfoliation, lotion, Hand mask and mittens.
However, I had a couple of issues so wondering if I could ask your advice.
Is there anything else I can do?
So then I thought about shellac for the zero dry time, but then I don’t think Shellac would be the right thing for her really... I just don’t know.
Help! What would you do?

- She had very, very overgrown cuticles, some climbing almost half way up her nail plate. I have heard about this before but have never experienced it (I am newly qualified) I soaked them to soften, and applied cuticle remover but when I tried to push them back it was like they were glued to the nail plate. I did my best to very gently push them back but some were very stubborn and just didn’t budge!
Is there anything else I can do?
- She said she didn’t want a colour, but I thought about suggesting a French Manicure for her next appointment. So I feel like I’ve done SOMETHING for her. But I don’t know if she’d make it out the door without smudging them to be honest!
