Nailbiter before & after pics

[femmefan]

Just thought I'd share my latest 'reconstruction' effort. I did insist on a doctors letter as there was a lot of nailbed damage and discolouration. I used CND neutral pink opaque and soft white overlayed directly onto the remains of the nailbed (solaroil on first). She was over the moon and doesn't mind coming back every week for a check up until we figure out if these nails are actually going to grow again.

Here's the before:

Here's the after:

So you just put some solar oil on the nail bed at the free edge, and extend straight onto it?

Well done, they're a major transformation, a huge improvement. One thing! When you use the coverage powders, do you overlay and build the stress area with clear?

Yes, just a smear of solaroil on the skin provides a barrier against the risk of overexposure. Then do the overlay just as if the whole nailplate was there. On the index fingers part of the nailbed was shredded and impossible to clean away any build up of skin so I left that as clean as I could to give it a chance to adhere. I am seeing the client again on Monday so I'll see how they have fared.

I never bother with a clear layer when using the natural opaques because most of these clients will always want a coverage powder for one reason or another. If they did want to change at some point then I would just take down the bulk of opaque powder till it was almost invisible then go over with a translucent. Or, you could gradually change by mixing a translucent colour into the opaque and increasing the ratio at each appointment.
