Hello There
I was wondering if you can help
I have a regular client that has come to me with a strange nail complaint and I was wondering if someone could offer me some advice.
On removing my clients overlays we discovered that the line between her free edge and nail plate has been distorted on her nails. As opposed to your normal nice neat curved line, they have become mis-shaped and exposing a free edge that on a few of the nails runs right into the centre of the nail plate (some nails on the other hand only have very minor lifting). I have previously noticed that on this particular client the line between her nail plate and free edge is sometimes less than perfect, however this is very extreme! There is no discolouration to the nail at all, the client has no discomfort, and on asking, she has not been doing anything with her hands that is out of the ordinary. The only time I have seen anything like this was with a fungal nail infection (which obviously also comes with discolouration and a thickening of the nail, and is usually only on the one nail!), or once where a client was a regular gardener and that would sometimes cause parts of the nail to lift away from the nail bed (usually when she'd accidentally forced bits of plants down her nails!!)
I am using Biosculpture, and have been following the same practice for the last 3 years without every seeing this problem. All my equipment is cleaned between clients, and the nail bed is always sanitised carefully before any overlays are applied. I have told her to go to the doctors, but I have a sneaking suspicion she won't, so wanted to look for some advice so I can advise her better next time I see her, and also to check its not something I'm doing wrong or could prevent!
Thanks for your help :o)
