My guess would be that she is talking about the 3 free polishes being the " healthy " polish. I have not heard of nail polish of any kind causing nail plate separation unless it is an allergic reaction. If you want a referral relationship with this podiatrist perhaps you can get some info printed out from the Internet and educate her. Show her what you do and products that you use and ask her what she tells her clients. Have industry printouts to back up your products and procedures.

You know what? I think that is a good idea, I am going to do the same. I'll post what info I print out and where I find it. Anyone else have a "healthy pedicure hand book" that they have put together? Does beautytech.com have one? I will look.

> I recently referred a client to a podiatrist. I am hoping that in the New Year I will start working with this podiatrist on a sort of internship and then establish a referral system with her. I referred my client because her toe nails are separating from the nail bed, and taking on a new shape.....and it's really bothering her. Several years ago she went through a round of aggressive chemo and that's when I first started noticing a difference in the nail. I believe the problem is connected to that, I don't think there is any fungus growing under there.

Her recommendation was to either stop wearing polish or go to the health food store and get some "healthy" polish. I believe she is talking about polishes with formaldehyde, toluene and DBP. So, I hadnt heard that these chemicals caused nail plate separation but that's interesting to know. The doc said that the chemicals penetrate the nail plate and seep into the soft tissue of the nail bed, cause this separation and also get into the blood stream.
