Holly, Thank you very much. Where do you have them put the alcohol? Underneath the free edge on the nails that are separated? Yes, this particular client has very cold hands. Sometimes she has lifting and sometimes not, depending on the temp outside. I really did not put two and two together about this until now. I do have her hydrate her nails with oil and hands with a good lotion. Lisa

They do get a few more lifiting problems because they have such frequent and extrreme temperature fluctuations in their fingers and that always causes problems. Whenever I have someone who has an issue with the nail plate separating from the nail bed I always advise them to use alcohol to prevent any complications. I also like to see them using a high quality oil to keep the area hydrated because I have noticed that client's with reynaud's have very dry skin. I don't normally recomend a fungus treatment unless it seems like there is one. However, with the affected nails I will usually keep them shorter so they are less likely to catch on things.

Her hands get so cold sometimes that her whole finger turns white. I looked at both of the nails and the separation is growing out so I do not believe that it is a fungus and it has not spread to any of her other nails. She works in a grocery store and often catches her pointer finger in her cash register drawer. I gave her fungus treatment just to be safe, though and advised her to see a doctor. Do you have trouble with lifting issues as well with your client who has Reynaud's? Or should I not put enhancements on a client who has Reynaud's? What other issues to you have with this client? Thanks!

If she has been squeezing citrus that can cause natural nail plate separation(people who work in bars frequently get separation caused by frequent exposure to the citric acid), ask her to think about what she has been doing with those two fingers. I have a client with Reynaud's Syndrome who often gets separation.

It is just lifted from the nail bed from the free edge half way up the nail.

I use YN but recently have switched to Entity. The last time she came in her thumb nail was curling under the free edge and was lifting away from the nail bed. I asked her if she had any recent trama to the nail and she said not that she knew of, but a few days later she said that she bent it back doing laundry. Now her pointer finger on the same hand is doing the same thing. Could this be an allergic reaction to something that I am using? I have soaked off a few times and did new sets on her at her request over the year. Could this be a reaction to acetone? I want to take them off and give her a break for awhile until her thumb and pointer grow out, but she's telling me that she doesn't want to be without her nails. I don't want this problem to get any worse. Please, can anyone offer me some advice? Thank you in advance.
