Hi guys,
Wonder if I can pick your brains a little please.
Had a friend visit the other night, she has been going to a friend of mine for years now for gel nails and my friend has recently taken on shellac and been trying to convert her. Anyhow she had shellac the last couple of times she has been and her nails have broken, she wears her nails extreemly long which when she had gels were fine but I don't think shellac is strong enough for her.
When I had a look at her nails, she has "skin" under the nails free edge which she said hurt if her nails are trimmed down.
I take it this is the hyponychium? If so is there anything that can be done to shrink it back so her nails can be trimmed and shaped without pain, her nails need to be taken down so she can get them a little stronger, Ive given her some solar oil and told her to use it at least twice a day. Anything else I should recommend?
