Hi all
Was asked the other day to do some infills on a friend of a friend. She had had them done elsewhere and admitted she had left them for more than three weeks because she couldn't afford to get them done so they were very grown out but there were no signs of lifting etc. Anyway when I had a look at them they were big thick acrylic 'lumps' with the most horrendous deep 'hoof marks' where an electric drill had been used - a couple of them looked as though they had gone right through the nail bed (signs of blood - heave!). She admitted they were painful when they were first done but were OK now. Anyway I finally agreed to do the infills (but wished I hadn't) it was like trying to file through concrete! I went through 2 brand new files just trying to thin them out and it took me an hour and a half!!!
My two questions are:- was this likely to be MMA with it being so hard? and should I have done the infills or soaked them off and started again? Am very concerned about the areas where they have been drilled through (crikey makes me feel quite nauseous).
Thanks for any advice.
