Melting Nails

[joanne7174]

Ive just been to Tenerife for a weeks holiday and did my nails before leaving using Super Nail L&P was really pleased with them Ive been using this range for about 3 months and have had no problems with it at all. Whilst on holiday (about 3 days into the week ) my nails had a really sticky top coat to them and started to pick up dirt from every where !!! they looked awful. I had applied supernail anti yellowing top coat and it apprears it was just meltin in the heat. I took a white block away with me so was able to buff them down and apply just normal nail polish top coat and they didnt look too bad but was really disapointedf that this had happened. Glad I havent used this product on any clients . Would be really interested to hear if anyone has had any simular problems.

I'm a bit confused Joanne. In your profile you say no under nail geek, but you say you are glad you haven't used this product on any clients. Is this just a typo or are you a nail geek?

I have never heard of the Super Nail system. Is it a professional system?

I'd never heard of this either but there was a thread a while back from someone suffering from the same thing but with different products. I'll see if I can find it.

In the meantime here is some supernail stuff for you Tracey

Could it be the dreaded suncream with deet in that did the melting? Just a thought.

I had a client once who went somewhere very very very hot and the same happened to her nails. The answer seems to be to put a Glaze'n'Go (gel top coat) over the l&p.

I've heard of Super Nail systems, they do a lot of advertising etc in Prof Nail mags etc. Never tried them though.

Are Supernail backscratchers?

i think it was an oversight that she didnt click nails, her profile lists her nail training.

i had a similar problem with my sister.she went to turkey and her nails actally metled all the way through.they went soft enough that she could wipe them off.my mum and my sisters mother in-law went back to turkey this year so because of what happened before i put a coat of nsi balance finish gel over the top and they were fine this time.but it worked.i presume its maybe something to do with acrylic being soakable and the gel not(just an idea) my sister in-law told me that some sun tan lotions have had a similar effect on her nails when shes in this country.wierd

Hi. I have been using the Super nail system for the last 3 years and I travel a lot to the warm countries and never had any problem at all. In my opinionit must be to do with the top coat used. I usualy apply just a normal polish top coat.

It may do so now, but I think it has been updated since I posted, because I checked again too.

Please don't get me wrong. I am not critzising, but it does make it easier to help a peep with more details. Rachel has shared a link and I will take a look.

i would say it was because of her suncream. they seem to contain something that doesnt agree with topcoats.

Personally I think it's more than just the deet, I really do think it has to do with the acetates in sun creams melting top coats. JMHO from what I have gleaned in my professional experience, as I haven't done any lab research lol!

Although it's only ever happened with top coats, not high shine l/p in my clients experience....I don't like using top coats in gereral as I really believe that they attract dirt and make enhancements look discoloured and mucky!

I really don't think it can be the suncream as I live in Tenerife and use suncream practically every day. I use Creative l&p and either buff to a shine or use super shiny and I have never had this problem, and nor have any of my clients some live here and some are holiday makers so I imagine they all use suncream at some time.

100% AGREE it has happened a few times with clients on holiday, its the sun cream that does it, i always use a gel top coat like glaze and go or young nails finish, it works a treat and totaly protects the enhancements and also keeps them ultra glossy for weeks, its a must have........HTH

It's the 'deet' content in the suncream that can cause enhancements to go and appear to be melting.

No worries Joanne, not checking the 'hair, skin or nail geek' box isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things :green:

I agree, this happened to me on holiday a few years ago. I removed the top coat with some non acetone varnish remover, and they were fine after that.

I had a freind with the same problem. They felt rough and sticky.
I took down the surface of the acrylic and put on paint on white gel and gel top coat and they were fine for weeks after she got back home and until her appointment for her infil.

I think she said it was sun lotion too. I will ask her what make it was she used and if she still has problems if she changed brands of cream.
