Kelli, I wonder if she was doing something like a nervous habit that she was not aware off that put dents in her nail. When you put gels on her it protected the nail from the trauma. Just a thought. Angie Wingerter

So we discussed it and put the gel on with the understanding she would come back and we would take it off. Well needless to say she didn't get back into to see me for about 6 weeks... so it stayed on. She told me that her skins hasn't gotten any worse so she wants to keep her nails. Well at Christmas time this year, all of the ridges that she had in her thumb have completely grown out! her hand have cleared up quite a bit. She has an appointment to see her Dermatologist soon, so we will see what he says. This client has told me that those ridges have been there since she was in her teens (she is now nearing 60). If your clients is wearing gels, then it may not bother her. so keep your fingers crossed that is what she has on!
