OUCH!!

From a safety point of view, it does not matter which system you use as long as you protect the nail bed from the product with either a tip or a nail form.

If you think the heat form the gel could be painful then opt for L&P. This is the choice I would make in this case.

Thanks for that Gigi bit of a tricky one, but there is still a bit of nail there in the cuticle area, how would I remove the form as I dont have a tip large enough as it if rather a big Big Toe and I could see a bit of space between the actual nail and nail bed

I really am curious how a tip can be fitted to a such a sensitive area ie the nail bedl? or does it desensitise the more it is exposed..

I could imagine a client thumping as I placed the tip on

To fit a tip: You can always split a tip in half with scissors. Glue it on at each side. Then fit a form and sculpt the overlay over the top. It works, and I think having some air circulating between the tip and the bed is not a bad idea. Use SolarOil underneath every day to keep soft and clean.
Have a good day in the sunshine state. Good to know ladies still have their prioreties right after the awful weather you have been enduring. Nails! x

My mum lost her toe nail a couple of years ago and she says it is still very painful. Her nail never grew back so its just a horrible bit of bumpy hard skin - is their anything that can be done to make this look better? She never wears open toed shoes because shes so embarassed...
