No toe nail-help me pleeease!!!

[jazk2006]

Hey all,

i have regularly visited this site and found the guidance on LCN really useful. My left toe nail had a fungal infection many years ago, and has never grown back normal. It's always been distorted and therfore i have always just stuck temporary tips for functions. Recently i decided to get acrylic tip again (closest to a normal looking nail i've had in a long time!!) but promised myself that i would return to the salon every 2 weeks to get it checked. Unfortunetly i hit my nail and had to have the nail removed. I've been advised by the chiropodist that LCN needs a base and will not work if you do not have some nail - is this true??? Can somebody please help me as to what i can do with my absent toe nail - my self confidence has been greatly affected by this and would do ANYTHING for half a decent looking toe!!!

HELP ME PLEASE! :cry:

Would it be possible for you to take a photo of the toe so we can see exactly what is there and then we would be able to give you better advise :hug:

You do need some nail to attach the gel to - we now have toenail reconstruction on our price list because so many customers ask for it.

Years ago we had a client with no toenail. Sadly she died of cancer

She was going to a wedding and wanted to wear open toed shoes. I custom fit some nail tips and literally glued the tip to the skin.
I gave her some spare ones just incase, but the glued one lasted the day and looked good for the wedding.

hope this helps
