[lorraineg2004]

Hi All

Client came into me today for appointment for nail enhancements tommorrow morning first thing.
Thing is she said she has psoriasis.
She also said she had her nails done regularly somewhere else and they put a TINT through the acrylic because of this???
I asked what she meant she said like pink.
I just presummed she means white and pink lp.
If anyone has any tips for me with this client please tell as i have never had anyone with psoriasis yet.
EG do i have to tread carefully when file/buff etc?
All comments greatly appreciated.

Not sure about the tint, sounds something like custom blending. The main thing you have to watch about psoriasis is the state of their skin surrounding the nail, if it's swollen & inflamed then it's a contra indication due to the risk of infection . The nails are also often pitted, so you need to make sure you have thorough prep and good application to get in thos nooks and crannies.

Hi Lorraine, I would imagine the pink tint would be the custom blending. I'm not sure what products you use but I would do a blend to hide the imperfections. I usually do 2:1 cnd flawless pink, intense pink in zone 2 and then 2:1 intense pink, flawless pink in zone 3. HTHS

Sorry David, I'm confused.

A different colour in each zone?

What do you mean by 2.1?

Can you explain what it looks like after? xxx

I presume this will make zone 3 a little more natural looking and not too false. As more flawless is used in zone 2 this is where the iperfections are??

Ok, Kimmi...just for you. Get two empty pots and in one pot put 2 level teaspoons of flawless pink and 1 level teaspoon of intense pink. in the second pot put 2 level teaspoons of intense pink and 1 level teaspoon of flawless. Give em a good shake (just like you do at salsa...lol) to mix it up. If a client has a short nailbed or a low free edge this will mask the natural nail so you can elongate the nailplate or should I say enhance. Use the 2:1 flawless pink/intense pink in zone 2 but you must make it flush with the natural nail at beginning of zone 3. Use the 2:1 intense pink/flawless in zone 3, place your zone 3 bead just above on the edge of zone 2 and use the push pull method. Hope this makes sense to you.

Hi Glo, you would rebalance in exactly the same way as you would with a normal rebalance and darling I would never call you stoopid....just gorgeous. Mwah.xx

Hi Lorraine

Is the psoriasis in her nails or skin, because psoriasis can manifest itself just in the nails, the skin may be absolutely fine.

If the psoriasis is confined to the nails only and you're not yet au fait with custom blending, your client will love the look of her new pink and whites regardless.

Custom blending in the way described by David is great for imperfections that will grow out, however as psoriasis of the nail will keep on coming, I'm not sure how you disguise or rebalance this, whilst still giving that natural look...any ideas anyone?
