If they use a cotton ball with a bit of alcohol on it and gently squeeze the alcohol into the area where the separation is it will seep under the nail. I have also given clients acrylic brushes (I still have a few around from when I used to do a/c nails) to do this with....they are soft enough to brush under the nail (after being dipped in alcohol) to clean out any dirt without worsening the separation.
