Hi all,
I've come on here as a newbie....
2 years ago i went on a gel course I didn't like the products, they weren't as good as Bio Sculpture which I'd been paying for (overlays) so my sister in law said use Bio Sculpture. I bought a 36w daylight lamp and a 9w daylight lamp.
I use bio sculpture clear and add sculpting gel to the free edge under the white. I stopped the white to save time and used it here and there.
I infill every two weeks x2/3 then sock off and re do.
I know my little nails are thin hence use gel, and i'm careful with my sanding block. My sis in law trained in Bio Sculpture and my nails pass her high standards ;-) I changed my pill end of Dec. I fell ill in Jan, got worse in Feb and it came back in March where i needed antibiotics.
In mid Jan 3 hours after a usual new application my cuticules got sore, red and puffy. This continued for a week where the skin got very dry and cracked. Solar oil to the rescue. I thought it was the lamp, but i had NO heat spike and never have (except during the course...!) I had no symptoms during the treatment. I was very shocked so changed down to my 9w bulb and infilled 2 weeks later. Same happened but this time the nail beds ended up looking rather red too. Sis in law was shocked, and said either remove or leave as long as you can then remove. I left them a further 2 weeks then was cleaning her gel pots and in the evening my 2 fingers that had had the sanitiser were SOOOOO sore, red puffy and the skin got so dry it cracked and bled.
Now, I'm left with a scab at the Hypernicium on all nails and it looks like the nails have lifted off the nail bed at varying distances on different fingers. There is new growth at the cuticle.
What on earth happened?? Im guessing ive suddenly become sensitive to sanitsier and UV lamps? I thought it was where i was poorly....Or changed my pill...
Do you guys think where the new nail is growing it will eventually grow out (6 month wait) and adhere to the nail bed or do you think its permanent?
Ive just been applying nail polish and adding glitter to hide my nails, the old gel is still on! :Scared:
