Hi all,
My mum has quite weak, spoon shaped nails (only sort of humped shaped not indented way - from cuticle to free edge they arch up and back down again but very much so) nothing wrong with them they just have always grown very rounded....
She gets shellac every 14days but hasnt for the last 5 weeks - just due to her work etc and us both being busy - anyway i did her new set last night and was concerned with her thumb. She said she has been picking the side which i could see so i gave her a row ;-) but the actual thing i was worried about was as follows-
The nail grows very rounded but as far as i could see this shape stopped where the white free edge starts and it is almost as if there is a dent /crease between the white and pink of her nail bed- i asked if she had bent it at some stage and she said no. It is very strong and her nails are quite brittle that im certain if she had bent it, it would have snapped off.
If i havent explained i could try and draw a picture and upload
Has anyone seen this?
I filed the free edge right down and gave it a really good pep and super scrubed with scrubfresh and when done i literally soaked it with solar oil. And topped up her bottle and told her to apply it generously 2-3 times a day for nxt two weeks and hoping the dent will have grown out and when i file it down again in two weeks itll be gone !!
Just thought id share incase this was something I have perhaps never seen before?
