[How to Avoid It?] One Factor causes a 36-year-old British Woman’s Nail Loss after Manicure

Recently, a 36-year-old British woman named Lisa Dewey, who had years of experience in manicures and no history of allergies, experienced a serious issue after a manicure that resulted in the complete loss of her nails, greatly impacting her daily life and confidence.

In February of this year, after a routine manicure, she began experiencing pain and inflammation on her fingertips, followed by the peeling off of her gel nails. She sought medical attention and was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. Lisa was prescribed antibiotics and steroid creams, which improved the condition of her nails. The nail inflammation appeared to have healed, so in April, she decided to get acrylic nails.

However, after this manicure, Lisa Dewey’s nail problems worsened. She described excruciating pain in her fingers to the point where she could hardly move them. Within a few days, her nails started to peel off, and the skin around her nails became fragile like “paper,” feeling like it could be torn off at any moment. The severe nail issues affected her daily life, preventing her from washing her daughter’s hair, doing dishes, fastening seat belts, and even holding a pen without experiencing extreme pain.

Not only did her nails detach from the nail bed, but the nail bed and surrounding areas also turned purple. Lisa was concerned about possible oxygen deprivation and the need for finger amputation, so she stopped using cleansers and skincare products. She has now started a new round of medication in hopes of improvement and resolving the problem.

After her recovery, Lisa has decided not to undergo any further manicures and advises everyone that even if they have had no issues with manicures for many years, they could still unfortunately encounter bacterial infections or allergic reactions, which can be troublesome.

Nail infections caused by manicures have been reported in the news frequently, causing many girls who desire manicures to hesitate. However, it’s important to note that by choosing reputable nail salons and ensuring that manicure tools are disinfected after each use, gel nails and acrylic nails can be safe and free from toxins.

Autumn’s most popular nail trends! Japanese Nail Artist shares 2023 autumn nail art

Feeling uninspired when it comes to nail designs lately? Take a look at the insights shared by Kayo, the Education Director of OPI Japan, and discover the latest trends in Japan!

Bubble Nail: Vibrant Bubble Nail Art
This style is currently very popular in Japan! Start off the early autumn season with light and bright bubble nail art, reminiscent of the lingering summer heat. Choose a base color in soft, pastel shades with a translucent or slightly shimmering finish. Then, use jelly gel, builder gel, or bubble gel to create the bubble texture. Finally, apply the bubbles onto your nails for a quick and refreshing bubble nail art that catches the eye.

Drop Art: Water Ripple Nail Art
This technique allows for quick and creative nail art. Choose the main color tones based on the season. When it’s still slightly warm, opt for sheer aquatic tones or candy-inspired shades to kickstart your fall nail journey. As the temperature gradually cools, go for more grayscale Morandi or earthy shades to create water ripple nail art, instantly transforming your fingertips from the scorching days of summer to an elegant and chilly autumn atmosphere.

Autumn Floral Nail Art
During the transition between seasons, warm color tones are perfect, especially elegant and gentle Morandi floral patterns. It is recommended to choose a matte finish in Morandi shades, creating a contrasting effect with floral patterns on the fingertips. You can also use builder gel to create a three-dimensional flowing pattern on the nails and enhance the delicacy with mirror powder, achieving a fluid metallic effect that instantly elevates the sophistication of your fingertips.

No matter which nail art you choose, it’s all about adding highlights and personality to your autumn look. Let your nails become a way to showcase your style! 💅✨

What kind of nail art designs does an AI Nail Artist create?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a hot topic worldwide. By inputting commands (prompts) into ChatGPT and Midjourney, it is possible to generate surprising virtual content and photos. AI’s creativity breaks the limits of human creation, showcasing many fantastical things.

As for the Japanese designer introduced this time, IG@ymymnail.ai, although she is not a nail artist herself, she relies on AI to generate many lively, cute nail art designs. She also generously shares them on social media. Everyone is encouraged to appreciate these creative artworks!

秋天最流行的美甲趨勢!日本美甲師分享2023年的秋季指甲藝術

最近對於指甲設計缺乏靈感嗎?不妨參考OPI Japan的教育總監Kayo老師的分享,看看最近日本都流行哪些款式!

Bubble Nail 繽紛泡泡美甲
這是日本目前非常受歡迎的款式!在秋季初期,當仍然感受到夏末的炎熱時,可以從輕盈明亮的泡泡美甲開始。選擇帶有粉嫩色調、透明感或微微閃爍的亮色系作為底色。然後使用軟糖膠、建構膠或泡泡膠製作出泡泡的質感。最後,將製作好的泡泡放在指尖上,簡單迅速完成一個清新亮眼的泡泡美甲。

Drop Art 水波紋美甲
這是一種可以快速創作的美甲款式。可以根據季節選擇主要的色調。在仍然有些炎熱的時候,可以選擇清透的水色系或糖果色系,為秋季的美甲揭開序幕。當溫度逐漸轉涼時,可以選擇更多灰階的莫蘭迪色系或大地色系,製作水波紋的美甲,讓指尖瞬間從炙熱的夏日轉變為優雅而寒冷的秋季氛圍。

秋日花卉美甲
在季節交替的時候,最適合選擇暖暖色系,特別是優雅而溫柔的莫蘭迪花卉圖案。建議可以選擇霧面的莫蘭迪色系,搭配花卉圖案在指尖上營造對比效果。也可以使用建構膠在指甲上製造立體的流動紋路,再搭配鏡面粉,打造出流體金屬的效果,讓指尖的精緻度瞬間提升。

無論您選擇哪種指甲藝術,都希望它們能為您的秋季造型增添亮點和個性。讓美甲成為您展現風格的方式!💅✨
