I would be inclined to avoid for a while just my opinion, I have applied an acrylic toenail to just the nail bed before just for nites out/weddings etc, but this is always on well healed areas that had the toenails removed properly and healded fully, just makesure you reassure your client that it will grow back in time and that you are trying to save her natural nail and the importance of this than she will not go to another salon that won't care and just stick one on!!! HTH x

Hi,

When you say an acrylic toe nail do you mean a tip or a scupltured nail. Just curious as I had my toe nail permanently removed and was wondering if i could put anything onto my toe. x

Honistly I wouldn't be applying anything to this there is bits of skin and nail still hanging off I would be worried that I would cause more damage than good it needs to heal properly as in the nail plate growing up more and the bits of nail that are hanging off waiting for tem to grow so they can be removed that's just my opinion xx

Ooh this happened to my right thumbnail about 4 years ago. I trapped it in the hinge of a door and it became badly bruised. (oh the pain:cry After a few weeks it came off. A new one started to grow back not long after but became infected. I had to go to the doctor who gave me some topical medication to use which I did. Eventually it grew back. Took ages though and because I have damaged my nail bed the nail is only attached halfway so I keep it at a reasonable length. No one can tell but me. I love my nails and have always looked after them. So I was gutted when this happened. Could have been worse though as I could have lost my finger. Lol. It's like I have slight nail separation so I make sure I keep it clean to avoid another infection.:biggrin:

It looks pretty sore and is it wet? It looks weepy to me, but I can't tell by the picture. I think I would err on the side of caution and leave it be for a while 'til it looks better. Poor girl..
