I carried out a rebalance on one of my clients last night (she has BioSculpture gel overlays - has had them for over a year, i have been doing them for around 4mths). Rebalance was going ok - I know her natural nails are very thin, as I did a soak-off about 6wks ago, so was buffing with care.
However, on the nail of her little finger I suddendly noticed a spot of blood appear on the nail plate!!! I sanitised her nail quickly and changed / sanitised my wipes / brush / tools etc. I then put a drop of nail glue over the area to stop any bleeding. I'm concerned that this was the wrong thing to do - but remembered a trainer at Star nails suggesting it as a way of stopping bleeding it you nicked any skin around the nail. I drew her attention to it, as I wanted her to keep an eye on it in case any infection developed, especially as she goes on holiday for 2wks tomorrow!!!
She said there was no pain, but the area still looked a bit red when I'd finished.
She really wanted the overlay on for her hols understandably so I continued to apply Gel over the nail. I advised her to keep a close eye on it on hol, and if there was any pain, swelling, or redness - to find a salon where they could soak it off (i told her to make sure they didn't buff!!). I also explained how she could soak it off herself, if she could get hold of acetone there.
Any prompt advice on anything else I should have done would be VERY gratefully received, as my client goes on her hols for 2 wks 2mrw!
