I am with Michelle. I do this a lot, including on my own pitiful foot. I used to love my toenails(I have the nice big ones with long nailbeds, plenty of room for art, etc.) About a year and a half ago, I stubbed my foot on my brick hearth. It cracked my big toe, middle toe and almost pulled off a pinky , all on the same foot. Big toe never recovered, it is just wavy and wierd, never reattached, middle toenail fell off completely, and pinkie toe is now thick and gross. I have used everything on them. I just make an acrylic nail on the middle and file down and overlay the other two. Gel or acrylic stays on them like concrete, I just fill them in. It is nice to have that foot almost matches the other. :-) Sent from my U.S. Cellular BlackBerry® smartphone

I use dispoable files anyway so no worries of cross contamination... They usually only last a month depending on how much nail they have to anchor it to, but they are thrilled to have "normal" feet and become regulars. That allows me to keep an eye on them, and take them off and replace them if they do anything weird. I was orginally against the idea, but my client said "What? Like if it screws something up, they are gonna remove the toenail?!? LOL... already happened..." so I gave it a shot. I have had no problems over the years. Not one single problem. It can be a challenge to build though... :) Michelle Cordes, Owner/Licensed Nail Technician The Nail Spa in Silverdale, Washington "The spa for your hands and feet since 1997" www.myspace.com/thenailspa ________________________________ From: Michelle Phoenix <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, June 25, 2010 5:33:43 PM Subject: NailTech:: prosthetic toe nail Can I, and more to the point, should I build a prosthetic gel nail over a nail that's mostly gone and the remainder is fungal? That just seems like a bad idea to me, but never having done it before, I want the advice of the experts.
