Hi all, hope someone can help! I know there have been posts about this before, but no-one has been able to give a definitive answer and just wondered if anyone had found anything since!
The reason I am asking is because I had a client in today & as I was removing her french shellac I noticed her smile line on both pinkies had moved quite far down the nail and they were very wonky! this set alarm bells ringing, so I asked my client if they were like that before (I did her shellac application & didn't remember them being wonky before!) She said no they weren't like that before and that she had noticed them going funny through her shellac after a few days of wearing it, but didn't think much of it as it wasn't that noticeable.
I wouldn't have thought anything of it either, but I experienced the exact same problem when I had shellac on a few weeks ago! The first few times I wore a shellac colour & noticed my smile lines were a bit funny when I removed it, but thought I must have bashed them or something! so when I had french shellac on a few weeks ago, I could see through the shellac that after a few days my smile lines were moving down my nails & were also feeling a bit tender! I had only had it on a few days & know I never bashed my hands or anything! It only occurs on my pinkies too which is really weird, as if I was allergic it would be occurring on other nails too & it's not like pinkies get used very much!
Most of the previous answers to this queries have suggested it could be the removal process, but this can't be the case as both me & my client could see it happening under the shellac when we were wearing it. It has also been suggested that it is trauma to the nail, but I know that I didn't do anything to my nails & my client said she didn't either! Also before you ask, I have done my shellac training, am using the whole shellac system, correct lamp and my bulbs still have 70 hours left in them.
I am very concerned now as I have lost a client today as she is too scared to have it re-applied & likewise I am too scared to re-apply it in case her nails fall off!
Have other geeks experienced this & if so what did you do? I thought maybe my nails were just weird, but now I've seen it on one of my clients I am really worried it might be quite common & can't afford to lose business! Also don't feel confident offering a service which could be damaging people's nails!
Sorry for long post!
Please can someone help!
thanks xx
