This was a fun evening, my new ish clients who's been coming to be for pedicures recently booked in to have gelish on her fingers and toes. She has always worn acrylics and told me he has had them removed and had polish on them.
She came tonight and I set to work on her feet, they came out lovely I may add then we moved on to her hands, what's she thought was polish I discovered was shellac the poor lady had paid for what she thought was just a polish, we given no after care or even told how it was to be removed.
The dreaded removal took me 1 hour 20mins and her nails are shocking, I asked several questions and from what I can gather the didn't use a foundation and just put the colour on her natural nail. It wouldn't soak off fully for love nor money so the remaining shellac to be very gently removed with my pusher and gently buffed with a white block. Her nail plate is stained, peeling and generally in a state. Poor lady was so upset, I set her home with cuticle oil and care instructions and she going to come back in a week for me to see how they are doing
