UV Gel turns yellow on one client only

[VHunter]

This is a riddle that's been driving me mad..................

I have a VERY loyal client, that refers like mad and loves her art.
AND
She is the ONLY client who's gel seems to yellow:irked:
I'm not 100% sure it's the gel either... (the underneath of her free edge where the natural nail is, is also slightly yellowed)

It's not the surface that is stained, it's not a 'line' that shows yellow-whitish here and not there.
It just seems that from the middle of her fingers to the free edge, it's slightly yellows (but a whitish yellow?).
ALWAYS.
Not overly obvious. Only I notice it. She never did until I pointed it out.

She's not a smoker. She doesn't use tanning products. She doesn't get spray-tanned or use sun-beds or anything like that.
She is one of my better behaved clients, never has lift or breakage. Religiously uses her oil and gets after her mother to do the same:lol:

The best I can figure is maybe a cleaning product in her house is doing it?
It's a cloudy effect, sort of ? Maybe it only starts to show after the enhancement has repeatedly been exposed, and so that's why it shows only in the 'old' product and not where the new product was applied?

None of my other clients suffer this funny phenomenon.
And I'm bashing my head against a wall to figure it out.

Any ideas?

does sound like its something shes in contact with.
i had a client who got disscolouration and it was from the coloured carrier bags at her workplace. sometimes its the wierdest things.

Hmmm, strange one. The "old" product would be covered by some fresh gel on each rebalance after you had filed down though, so it could only be going into it through the new gel, which seems strange. How would it pass through this and not stain/change it?

I have no ideas about the 'whys' or 'hows'.
Only that nothing in my application is any different on her, than it would be on another client or myself and none of the rest of us have this funny yellowish cloudy discoloration.

Very bizarre.


It's driving me bonkers. LOL

I had a client once who kept coming with a yellow stain on only two of her nails . Like you we racked our brains to find out what it was .


THEN one day she came and said she had worked out what it was!!

When she made a cup of tea with the teabag in the cup she used her fingers to take the tea bag out and squeeze it !!!!!!!!!!! . Hey presto no more stains

I wonder if there are any medications that could potentially cause this?
