I had this once. But it happens to me because I am a undergraduated microbiologist and in one of my laboratory, the instructor did not gave us gloves to handle the samples and in one of them was the bacteria pseudomonas. My tumb got infected so I just cut the nail and rubbed with alcohol daily and it grew out. But I was so mad because it was their fault for not having the correct equipment for us to handle the samples.

[@ParcheesyBananaphone]

I used to get the same thing from wearing press on nails!!! It uses to happen every once in a while when the part of the nail by the cuticle lifts off and water gets trapped underneath before the fake nail comes off. But I figured out that by putting a layer of top coat on your nail before applying the glue it prevents the green nail bacteria from forming. Game changer and simple to do with press on's!! ☺️ for gel nails like you said I think the best way to prevent that is to change nails every time you see the nail begin to grow out.

Just an FYI: the IBX is not a treatment for bacterial growth. It may help to repair the scratches and strengthen the nail as it grows out, but it does not treat bacterial infection like an antibiotic would. Once you removed the enhancements and expose the nail to air and let it dry out, the bacteria is already dead. The green stain remains and can be filed off or grown out, but its presence is not concerning and does not have to be removed or treated. Antibiotics would probably not be recommended by a doctor as it is not enough of a concern unless you are immunocompromised and/or it is a severe case.

[@michelleridgley]

[@Shazvana]

I love your videos and the beautiful nails you create but as a fully trained tech myself and who also wishes to educate, I have to correct some things said in this video. It is not possible for nails to grow mold, mold is not a human pathogen and just simply can not grow on us. The problem with these nails is what we techs call a "greenie" which is a bacteria, the correct name is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as the bacteria grows, it's waste produces pigment which is the green colour we see, the bacteria itself is not visible to the naked eye. Yes, I know you did reference the "greenie" but sadly talking about mold etc, is only giving off false info to people which is obvious in the comment section. The "greenie" is nothing to be feared, it's just one of those things that happens and is easily treated. I do not mean any ill intent by what I have said, I just feel the correct info should be known.

[@vickybovenkerk7547]

Thanks for being so honest and explaining in detail the correction method. Maybe you could do a video on really damaged nails from chemical burn from born pretty wish products Thanks again x

Lifting happens on the inside of the nail when the nail isn't adhered properly to the nail bed, so the edges are still okay, which is probably why it doesn't get stuck at all

Not even a few days later I hit my pinky nail and fluid came from underneath it. Put it in something called “biotex” something we use here to treat infections! Then I put bandage on my pink for pressure. My pink is almost back to normal I think! Still a bit swollen but no more fluid! Thank you for sharing your story! 😊

No, this is a pseudomonas bacteria which only lives in a damp dark place, as soon as air hits it it's dead! We call this "Greenies" in the salon, all you need to do is cleanse the nail plate and rub alcohol on and let the green part of the nail grow!

[@connie171717]

@Andrilexia just a minor correction. Pseudomonas is actually an obligatory aerobe which means it needs oxygen in order to survive. So it doesn't get killed as air hits it. Fun but a little disgusting fact: pseudomonas was discovered because it caused a lot of troubles in hospitals. It likes to cling onto wet surfaces forming biofilms (colonies of different kinds of bacterias cooperating) and they were a pain in the butt to get rid of. So they covered all the surfaces with manure and let that sit for a week. The facultative anaerobes (bacterias that can live in environment with or without oxygen) in the manure practically "ate" all the oxygen so pseudomonas were left with none and died. 😀

[@lilcrabbybabby]

Primer (and most nail product) is acidic enough to kill anything it touches. This is why you can use a bottle of polish on multiple clients with no concern of cross-contamination. The acetate and alcohol in most nail products is strong enough to kill most nail bacteria.

Use tea tree with coconut oil as a daily cuticle moisturizer, and don’t put on polish so the oil can penetrate. You won’t have to wait for it to grow out. The tincture will kill the spores overtime. Got foot fungus?, mix olive oil, tea tree, jojoba oil, and water and spray it in your shoes or socks until everything goes away. You shower at the gym? Lotion your feet with tea tree in coconut and Shea butter and you’ll never get athletes foot. But only use tea tree if you’re not allergic.

They said fungal infections are so rare that it wasn’t worth testing. 2 separate drs told me this including one I trusted explicitly. Dermatologist said hyper keratosis. It’s been a year and I still get tiny brown dots occurring on my hands and feet, what looks like athletes foot and similar skin on my hands as well as black fungi-looking micro fibers that are almost invisible to the naked eye. I’ve never needed glasses luckily and I can see them just fine but 50/50 consensus on whether or not I’m “just seeing dust trapped in the dry skin surrounding my nails [cuticles and nearby areas] or it’s related to my initially thin and seemingly still infected nails.

Both Betadine and the vinegar both have antibacterial and anti fungal properties. Leaving the nails unpainted etc. Yeah hard I know. I wear gloves as much as possible when in water. Doing vegies and so on. Use your hair dryer after a shower to dry underside of long nails. If your nails are a little sore after a new set or infill. Liquid betadine under and around the nail and cuticle overnight. If you see a bit of lifting I have a brush on nail glue that I stick it down with until I can get to the salon.

[@amberchantell]

That happened to my nails once. It comes from when the nails are not laid properly and moisture gets in there and grows bacteria. Ugh I never went back to that nail shop. It just had to grow out.

[@anh7807]

Yes, this is exactly why I do my own nails! Every time I've gone to a salon they never last. Even a basic gel on my natural nail that I paid good money for only lasted a few days before chipping. The gel I did on my own I am currently wearing for over a week and its still going strong. Thats how I know that many nail techs do not know how to do a good manicure.

[@vashappenin3851]

Woe my nail is still messed up 7 yrs later it grows funny an other had hole the left one healed with lines. Yes im glad u made this video. No one notices my nail issue but me. I rarely go to nail techs since this.

[@RockstarGacha69]

That's why I remove my acrylic nails after about 2 weeks cause I fear of something like this happening.

[@MsPink0769]

I had this happen with some press on nails I put on. I'm guessing water got trapped between the nails and glue.

[@rhiannonclarke6894]

yes! also nail glue is water soluble, so if youre constantly washing your hands or letting them soak in water, the nail glue will get worn away and water sits between the press on and the natural nail causing this. i would just be careful not to keep your press on nails on for too long

In the UK we are taught about these in training, yes there are serious problems however "greenies" once exposed to air, cleaned, buffed and sanitised are fine to work over. The bacteria will have died off and you will be left with the gross green colour, bacteria poop! Obviously it had had gone into your nail that would havd been different. The staining will grow out xxxx

Hey can you tell me more? I wiped my tiny green spots with alcohol and let them air out for a few hours then covered in clear polish. Is this enough?

I recommend you better wait 2 weeks at least without any acrilic nails or something different to a treatment. Better safe than sorry.

If it is happening multiple times that is a red flag. Whether you do it yourself or having others do it for you, someone isn't cleaning the tools very well and not doing a good job sealing in the manicure.

[@florindaflosen8845]

When i was a apprentice in a pet shop, i used to have my hands half the day in saltwater/ freshwater aquariums because of the work. I had one or 2 spots like this too. I had liftings on this part of gel nails and i think the water/dirt got under the gel. It wasnt dramatic, like in the video i filed the surface and desinfected it, put only nailpolish on so i can check and desinfect daily, worked pretty well. I really think it was because of the water, she said she was on Vacation, too.

Question. If you paint nails that are green, is it accurate to say that bottle of paint is now contaminated? Is the fungus contagious to your future sets, or for anyone else using the polish after you? Glad you shared this. Be well💕

Thank you for this video! I tried a new press-on brand and it had been only a week and I started to see something green under my nail.

I buy the stick on nails and glue them down with nail glue because I can’t go to a nail salon right now and I just found a spot on one of my nails. I filed it and it’s not on any other nails or on my skin. It was a very small spot. Should I wait to put my next set of nails on? I filed it down and it seemed okay? Just I don’t wanna make it worse

The only thing I use on my bare nail before doing gel dip whatever, is a Hema free base coat. I do not use primers dehydrators or any of that because it causes green nails for me!

@@marielanders1218 it turned out like that because of lifting or air bubbles, aka not being done properly in the first place.
