Wow I had no idea the manky little toe would cause such a stir!!!
Thanks for all the replies guys you are fab xx
OK so heres the tale of the tortured toe....
Once upon a time there was a young lady called Sian who cracked the side of her big toe and yes you guessed it let in a fungal infection.....
After weeks of antibiotic therapy the infection cleared and she was left with a skanky manky toe.....(enter Pedique stage right to save the day)
I prepped and sanitised the toenail as per usual
Then applied one coat of Pedique Clear as a bonding layer
Cure
I then used LCN Dermique (a thinnish self levelling gel safe to use on skin) to literally fill in the hole where her plate should be!
Cure and smooth the surface
I then applied Pedique Pastel (opaque gel) quite thickly to camouflage the "gap"
Cure and smooth
Applied FM Pearl White and Sealant
And they lived happily ever after..................
This is the first time I have replaced the nail, we remove and replace evry fortnight as it grows very quickly sand so to help prevent any infection.
She dries the toe thoroughly with a hairdryer after showering etc and uses tea tree oil to keep it clean....
It really is fab stuff and great when clients cant tell the difference between the enhancd and "real" toe!!
Pedique is a specific gel for toenail enhancements....really flexible, choice of colours, my clients love it!!
Thanks again geeks
