I had a new client in for Shellac last week and she said to me that the last two places she had been to had said that her nails were 'oily' and that's why the products never lasted on her.
I explained that nails can not necessarily be 'oily' as they do not have the capabilities of secreting oils. I informed her that perhaps it may be something she used on her hands like a lotion or oil etc or could be down to medication and that's why products were not lasting on her.
I prepped thoroughly as I always do and applied shellac. She came in today for a soak off as 4 of them had cracked/lifted. I never have a problem with any of my other clients shellac doing this so was a little perplexed. She said "I told you it's because my nails are oily"
She said that even polish doesn't last on her (a day or two at most)
All of the other nails were still in perfect condition though?!
With her permission, I took a picture to see if anyone could offer advice on what might be causing it or what else we can try? It might also be worth mentioning that after using scrub fresh her nails didn't seem to dehydrate or even change to a whitish colour like normal? Could she simply be one of these rare cases where this type of product just doesn't suit her?
