Yes the CND position is to not buff the nail if at all possible when using Shellac: "Do not buff the natural nail prior to application. The top layer of the natural nail is normally more dense or less porous than the other layers and acts as a protecting layer, preventing solvents from penetrating the natural nail and causing excess dehydration."

I'm not much of a chemist, but from what I've experienced, anytime you are removing shine or applying anything on the nail plate (even regular polish) other then oil, it will dry the nail plate. We all know that the nail plate itself is just layers of dead cells and many or the women that come to us have issues with growing nails and maintaining length otherwise why would they pay someone to help them extend the 'life' of their nail. What we need to make sure we do diligently is to treat the area where the nail grows - the eponychium - if we insure we are helping them maintain a healthy balance of moisture and not damage the nail with filing, its a win win for everyone. My 2 cents on this topic :D Jodi Nail Detail Oshkosh, WI Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 08:03:15 -0800 Subject: Re: NailTech:: Re: SOG, white spots & Doug Schoon From: [email protected] To: [email protected] I worked out a solution for another client I had who was having these problems. I think she's quite pleased with it. In her case it was on her fingers. I did a thin layer of gel under the shellac. I see her again next week, so we'll see how fast removal is with filing instead of soaking.

I just had 1 client remove her own Shellac and she said her nails have just "crumbled". We had her in Shellac for a few months and she only came 1x a month because it held up so good. She knows how to soak off with acetone, so I know she didn't pull or pry them off. We'd also used other types of uv polish on her, too, sometimes layering a clear coat with sparkles over the top. She always had weak nails (I've been doing them for over 10 yrs.), but she showed me them now and all the tips have layers peeling up, which is not normal for her. I've noticed seems to happen frequently on several other clients, too. However, this particular client was the only one that decided this service was not for her (so far). What is up with the peeling/layering of their nail tips? She admittedly does not use her oil frequently, so I'm suspecting this could be the problem. But her defense was that she works in a busy office with paper all day and cannot risk getting oil onto her work, which sounds reasonable. In cases like hers, what do you advise on their oil usage?
