| | | Description: |
A fungus that appears as a green or brown spot; usually under artificial nails. | | Cause: |
When an artificial nail lifts away from the natural nail, it allows moisture to be trapped. Also, moisture may seep in between the artificial nail where it joins the free-edge of the nail. The moisture content of a natural nail is about 18%. When you cover the natural nail with an artificial nail, it raises the moisture content of the natural nail. Mold can grow in a 23-25% moisture content. Also, if there are dirty files, dirty dust brushes, dirty towels or dirty implements being used that came in to contact with these germs, it can be spread. |
Tammy Taylor Products Needed: 1. Tammy Taylor Acetone.
2. Tammy Taylor Glass Dappen Dish.
3. Tammy Taylor Fresh Nail (for mold).
How to Prevent:
|
DO NOT glue down your artificial nail if it lifts; immediately go to your nail tech and get it fixed. If you are having a problem and your artificial nails are lifting often, make sure you are going to a Tammy Taylor Exclusive Salon or a Tammy Taylor nail tech that is educated to eliminate these problems.
