Hi Geeks
I'm hoping you may be able to help me fathom out what is happening with a clients nails. This could be a long one so apologies in advance.
She first came to me in May having been an L&P wearer, wanted to try Shellac as her nails had been damaged from the L&P nails and she wanted to grow her own with my help.
We've worked very hard together and she comes every week, her nails grow ridiculously fast and she cannot get more than a week out of Shellac without it looking like she has 3 weeks regrowth.
We had started to see great results. Her nails were really improving, the indentation marks from the L&P grew out quickly, peeling became less and the nails were becoming stronger and less bendy.
However she became very poorly several weeks ago and was in hospital with a severe kidney infection, she was dangerously unwell. She has quite poor health anyway and suffers with frequent kidney infections. She is currently on long term low dose antibiotics.
This obviously has had an impact on the state of her nails and we are back to square one in their condition.
She is meticulous about using her oil, applies at least 5 times a day but this isn't making much difference in helping them currently.
The strange thing that I would please like advice on is her nails change on a weekly basis and I'm getting a bit stumped and would love to be able to confidently say, oh it's because etc etc. But I have no idea.
One week she will have 1 or 2 nails peeling, the next week virtually all of them, the next week none. Also, her free edges were normal, then a few weeks ago a few started to grow at a diagonal angle down one side. Her thumb nail has now also gone from normal, to diagonal at one side to how it is in the attached picture. I have attached a picture also of her other 2 nails were the free edge looks like it is growing down at an angle. A few others had started to do this and are now normal again. I am at a complete loss as to what is going on.
Could her health issues be to blame for all of this?
Any ideas and advice as to what is happening would be great.
I have started to use silk & fibreglass under her shellac and have done this for the past 3 weeks and when she came last night there was a significant improvement in her nails in terms of peeling and strength, so will be continuing with this for a while.
TIA :hug:
