Natural nail broken under tip and dip

[katmciner]

Hi, I did a full set of tip and dip for one client about 2 weeks ago, i happened to bump into her a few days ago and she showed me her pinkie, she said she caught the nail on something and it split in half horizontally but i think it also split her own nail too as she said it was bleeding when it happened:irked:. She is due to return to me for infills in a few days and I was wondering how to handle this, I don't want to cause any pain or discomfort to her and especially no infections as there is a red mark on her nail about halfway up where it looks like its split. What should I do??? Any advice would be great thanks a mill.

How to deal with the breakage:

First sanitize hands thoroughly. Then, open the wound slightly and sanitize it. this will sting but only momentarily. Then open the wound slightly again and using a pharmaceutical grade EC resin, apply to the wound and close it up applying gentle pressure until dry. The pain will be relieved imediately.

Then very gently, thin the area over the breakage while supporting the nail all the time, and sanitize and re-apply l/P over the area to reinforce the break.

If the client experiences any paiful throbing durring the next 24 hours, the enhancement will have to be removed BUT ... I have never had this occur to a client whose nail I have mended EVER. By the next rebalance, you can either soak off an reapy or leave it alone to grow out naturally.

Do not soak off if the wound is still sore or open.
