What's caused this?

[Yasminx55]

Hi ladies ... I have just taken a clients acrylic off and the natural nail underneath looks like this (see picture) ..... Any ideas?

Was this not covered in your training?

Just to entertain me as I need to be more confident in spotting these things and doubting myself but this is just a greenie (pseudomonas)?

 

[dazzle.digits]

This client looks like they've had severe lifting and water, along with bacteria has been trapped underneath causing a surface bacterial infection. This nail is likely to be stained through but the bacteria has likely been killed off by acetone (if she removed them correctly). If you have I filled these you need to ensure you remove all lifted product and cleanse thoroughly before you perform the infill. If she has just left them in too long then it could be her own fault.

Doesn't look like they have been left to long, can see the growth at the bottom, so I'm guessing as you say it was bad adhesion to the nail plate near the cuticle area

Why can you not just be polite and help her out? surely if it was mentioned in her training she wouldn't have needed to ask or maybe she just forget you know because everyone forgets things

don't be so arrogant!

Blossom was not being arrogant I don't think . She is not like that ;-)

But is never ceases to amaze even me that basics such as this are NOT covered in training . It does look like a pseudomonas bacteria and it is cased by water and moisture getting trapped between the overlay and the natural nail allowing the bacteria to form and grow. removing the product , cleansing the nail then reapply product will be perfectly fine BUT ensure that you do NOT use the file again .

This can happen if you get lifting product or when the client bashes their nail making pocket lifting happen ( this looks like a white mark on the nail )

I always keep a used ( but clean ) file in my draw should this ever happen to save wasting good files . You can very , very gently buff the green area and it may lighten slightly but this will grow out with time

By removing product , cleaning and then re-applying new product you are in effect robbing the bacteria of the conditions it need to thrive ( damp ,dark and moist places ) and in effect 'strangle ' it

I don't think it was being arrogant - had the OP answered, blossom may have advised on what to do next, your making assumptions on a question

Also this is what on going training, support from training providers, and a textbook is for, simple problems, may she said I think this is blah blah from doing this incorrect or doing this, what do you think? she may have got more responses

Anyone who's on this forum very often knows I'm not arrogant and that's not the way I post

Just wondering what training the OP has had since previous posts include bigging up Blue Sky (non-pro product), telling us she only uses crystal g (non pro product off eBay) and how marvellous it is, and saying she knew nothing about contact dermatitis, another thing which is normally at least mentioned during training. Just got me wondering

I'm pretty helpful as a rule if I can be but its nice to get a bit of background

I just thought you could have been a little more polite to help someone out? it did seem a little mean?...

I wasn't impolite, just asked a question.

Blossom has been around a long time and is always helpful.

I don't know why it's classed as arrogant or rude if we ask this question?

If a nail tech doesn't know what this picture is then should they be providing a nail service? Bit worrying.. it's not all about whacking on some acrylic and pretty gems

Thanks for your replies ladies ... I knew this was probably from water / lifting but the acrylic had only been on a week due to the lady breaking the nail and wanting a quick fix as she was at a do. So when i soaked it off at her appointment I was shocked to see it underneath as the acrylic looked fine - no signs of lifting or anything. I have never had any problems with this before and I have been doing nails 8 years so please don't slate me for asking about things. People do forget and need reminding especially when you don't come across things like this often- I am only a human!

And as for the crystal g post ... Don't knock it til you try it. I mainly use gelish but think the cheaper brands are equally as good.

I did find blossoms comment very rude. We are all here to help. Your not a doctor or a genius do be a little kinder next time instead of stalking through my other posts and judging me!

Thanks x
