Dealing with the problematic nails – with the spoon nails, the nails with greasy nail plate and the bitten nails. The care and extending techniques.

How to deal with the bitten nails to make them look nice again?
The bitten nails look especially unattractive and are a problem both for their owner and a nail technician, a manicurist. The bitten nails have a short nail plate and very often wide, thick cuticles. In such a case you should first take care of these – do a regular manicure along with removing the cuticles. If we want to extend the bitten nails, it is important to do 2-3 full manicure treatments. Just after that, a few days after the last manicure treatment, we can have the nail extensions done.

How to do nail extensions on the bitten nails?
The well-advisable method to extend nails is with the inverted moulds. If a nail plate is too short or damaged to put on a form, then we need to extend the nail plate artificially by using ‘the suspensions’. If there is a chance of using an artificial nail, it is good to file its pockets to make them the shortest possible. Unfortunately, in this case, the visits to a nail technician will be more often than every 3 weeks, and the problems with the artificial nails falling off will happen more frequently as well (especially when a client keeps biting the nails). After some time, when the nails grow a little bit, the fillings will be done every 3 weeks, and the incidents with the falling off nails will not happen.
