Is the psoriasis affecting the nails or the skin?
Psoriasis is just skin cells being replaced too quickly. In many of the psoriasis text books the dermatoligists say a good way to cover up is to have nail enhancements. Its not contagious so as long as the client is happy to have them done, go for it!
(by the way I'm not a psoriasis geek, but my sister works for the psoriasis association so she told me!)

If the psoriasis is in the nails, I really think that your decision whether to apply enhancements or not lies in the degree of psoriasis she has in her nails.
The severity of the condition can go from mild pitting to extreme onycholysis....you should know when you look at the nails whether enhancements would be a viable treatment, if you're not sure, don't do the enhancements.

i have to use medicine that is treated for cancer patients but emu oil ,hemp cream and tropical lotions , fat creams ,cow utter cream that they use for the cows teats u name it i have used it
Hemp products are very effective on Psoriasis and Eczema on the skin- they have a similar molecular structure as the oils present on your skin so are easily accepted and absorbed.
Something I havent tried but would bet my bottom dollar on working would be Solar Oil.
I have psoriasis which flares up at when I am run down or stressed, when it was at its worst my Doctor recommended I have a few sunbed sessions. Having never been on a sunbed before I was very sceptical and thought I would just end up with worse skin. After 4 or 5 short sessions the improvement the UV made was amazing. I am anti-sunbeds and havent done it again as the psoriasis hasnt come back as bad but would def. consider it if it did.
