Nail Enhancement Break

[Bagpuss]

Sorry I should have taken a picture but didn't think at the time.

I had a client yesterday with the type of break that makes me shiver...:lol:

She had bashed the nail head on and it had cracked right across zone 2, the natural nail wasnt broken but had bent with the bash and weakened it. Where it had cracked the overlay obviously had allowed air in and so lifted, that together with the fact that it had been 4 weeks since i last did them meant that the slightest touch of the free edge and the enhancement was lifting up and the nail bending down.....all totally free edge heavy.

I had to hold the top of the nail with my thumb to secure the break and overlay while trying to thin and reduce the free edge.....is there an easier way...??

I have had this with a couple of 'heavy handers'

I too, used my thumb to anchor zone 2 (very firmly) whilst i filed down the free edge - IMO anything else would be adding stress to the already weakened area.

I found that one the free edge was removed, removing the rest of the gel was ok.

Can't see what else you could have done:hug:
