Guys, you have oncholysis!!!! It typically starts on the ring finger. You need to get it treated. You might be allergic to something I the product, do not use anything on your nails the nail is essentially pulling away from the plate. This can become permanent if left for more than 6 months! Surprised you didn't cover this in your training.

I am so glad I read this post, I have a regular client who has been coming to me for 6 months now. She previously went to a non standard salon where they soak the nail plates every two weeks in acetone and used drills to buff the cuticles. When I first treated her nails they were half white with dehydration! Anyway the dehydration has improved but the time she visited me I could see her nail plate on her left hand ring finger going a bit creamy at the side down on the corner of the nail, anyway she came to me this week and it seems to be getting worse, the nail is starting to split. The white creamy bit is also getting bigger. I didnt want to perform a treatment however She asked me to re-shellac as she had a wedding on but I have said to her she needs to have it removed and go to the doctor. I thought it might be a fungal infection but on reading this I think it might be oncholysis. Do I need to send her to her doctor or is it a case of letting it grow out and leave nail alone?
I am fully trained with shellac with CND and i only use CND purchased through S2.
Can she use solar oil? Thanks
If your client is concerned of course it's always best to refer her to a doctor.
In the meantime, yes solar oil should be applied at least twice a day. Ask your client to take a minute to massage it in - the massage will get the blood flowing and this should speed up the growth and hopefully the nail will re-attach itself.
It's always best to keep the nails short to avoid any further trauma.
As said before, onycholyis can be seen in older clients and this could be down to medication (older clients are more likely to take medication than a younger client)
I've been using Shellac for two years now and I've only seen this on one client. She's a lady in her late 60s and she's on a lot of medication. She admitted herself that she didn't follow the after-care I gave her, but since developing onycholysis, she now realises how important it is to use her oil and keep her nails at a reasonable length.
My mother is also prone to onycholysis as she has psorasis, but keeps it under control, as she now knows to follow the same advice. She wouldn't be without her solor oil!
I think chickafish has given the best answer to the OP by quoting Doug Schoon.
Thanks, my client is back in week after next, I am going to remove shellac and tell her to go to docs. She will be disappointed as she love her shellac but I need to put her health first. Does anyone know if it will clear up completely.
Thanks
