Hi there... at our salon we have a regular client that has been coming to us for over a year...she originally came with horrendous nails...short, brittle, ridged, splitting..little finger nail virtually non existent...you name it!
We gave her Brisa overlays & solar oil.... gradually & slowly they have improved no end her little fingernail has even grown back more recently HOWEVER there are still always problems with them & repairs have to be done etc.
Anyway the mystery is that she has always had bacterial infections (greenies) they come & go.
Please understand that I am fully aware in why "greenies" occur & how to deal with them etc & I have had to deal with them in the past... hers are different because they seem to develop for absolutely NO reason... They come & go on different fingers... Has anybody else experienced anything like this & could maybe shed some light ??
The other thing is that she decided to try gelish as her nails were in quite a good condition & we thought this would be worth a try as the removal and rebalancing would be easier as well, however this dried her nails out too much so we swapped back to brisa.... Now on her last appointment her thumb nail has given me great cause for concern because she had caught it..broke it... Overlay has not only come off but torn her nail like a price of paper... Resulting in a nail that is dangerously thin on the top half & not only thin but her nail looked like what i can only describe as sticking up fish scales ! I've seen some thin & overly dry nails but nothing like this one... Again has anybody seen this before ?
This lady has alopecia (total)... I think this is what affects her nails ??? ( interestingly her toe nails are fine.
She also takes Thyroxine
Thankyou for taking the time to read and if you could help with the mysterious nails I would be very grateful
