Lynnette, Yes, this particular client has very dry skin and brittle nails. The lifting is minimal. Usually just her right hand that she punches register keys with. She loves long nails, but I have been keeping them shorter and the lifting is almost non-existant now. At times her skin is white looking. I will have to try the peroxide/alcohol. Thanks for the advice! Lisa

They both wore enhancements with no lifting. One moved to Florida- she also has RSD. The other one is now a natural nail client and she has that occasional awful looking lifting. Hers does not go far down. She is VERY dry. Her hands look like the skin is just trying to stretch. Ouch. I know what that feels like but my skin never looks that way. I always use peroxide. Then I dry it out with alcohol. Sometimes I will use nail glue to reattach it. Never had a problem doing this. I also found that their nails are very brittle.

So, we narrowed it down to trauma to the nails and the Reynaud's syndrome.

IMHO, I would be very careful about applying oils to a nail that might possibly have some sort of infection ( fungal, bacterial...) I would first make sure to rule out if they have an infection first as your license does not allow you to TREAT the infection. Another possibility is that she is allergic to a product, I had a client that was allergic to hair color this way. Is your client going to go see a doc ? Let us know what happens.
