hi all
i have a client with absolutely awful nails.
She started coming to me about 3 months ago, she is 64 and has heart trouble and is on various different medications.
SHe came to me with the worst nails i have ever seen, onycholosis on 4 nails, bruising on one (from trapping in a door!) thin nail plates, over grown cuticle on one that she cuts her self OUCH thats growing all deformed up the lateral fold, ridges, layers of nail plate seperating at the free edge on one nail.........
All this she says.....was the result of a long period of time with her past nail tek
ANyway she came to me wanting tips !!
I refused to put tips on her nails they were in such a state i said the only treatment i was prepared to offer was regular manicures and a bio sculpture CLEAR overlay to offer some strength( and so i could keep an eye on em), add a bit of shine and help with the ridges.
She is a terrible picker, comes with the gel off, bits of nail plate missing here and there....anyway without rambling he nails are short, kept clean and i give her a complimentary solar pinky oil to use to oil the cuticles and the onycholosis but its not budging.......
i have told her to go to her gp.....can anyone give me any advice? I am worried at why it just doesnt seem to be clearing up !!
thanks
