Preventing treatments
Fungal infections-Both fingernails and
toenails are susceptible to the infection,
which usually manifests as discoloration and
thickening of the nail and crumbling edges.
The condition most commonly occurs in
toenails.
Between six and eight percent of the adult
population suffers from nail fungus
infection.
Bacterial infection
Injury or infection to a finger
Infection can range from mild to potentially serious.
Often these infections start out small and are
relatively easy to treat. Failure to properly treat
these infections can result in permanent disability or
loss of the finger.
Early recognition and proper treatment of the
following main finger infections will help prevent most
of the serious outcomes.
Paronychia is an infection of the finger that involves
the tissue at the edges of the fingernail. This
infection is usually superficial and localized to the
soft tissue and skin around the fingernail. This is the
most common bacterial infection seen in the hand.

How to file Hold emery board at a 45 degree angle under the nail
plate.
Use the file in one direction only i.e. side to centre,
side to centre
Use long light stokes so that there is less stress on
the nails.
Do not file back and forth as this separates and
weakens the nails causing them to split. It also causes
friction and dries up the moisture leading to flaking
at the tip.
The shape of the free edge should be the same as
that of the cuticle to attain a balanced look.
Base coat
Always use a good quality base
coat specific to its purpose.
Base coat stays tacky ensuring
good adhesion of coloured
enamel.
Preserves the life of enamel
application.
Contains more resin than
coloured enamel.
Apply in 3 strokes (small nail) up
to 6 strokes (larger
Coloured enamel
Used to add gloss and colour to natural nails.
Cream polish contains insoluble colours mixed with
iron oxide and titanium dioxide.
Pearl polishes get their effect from reflective
transparent crystals of guanine.
Polishes vary in consistency and may require from one
application up to as many as 5 applications to achieve
a professional result.
Apply in 3 strokes (small nail) up to 6 strokes (larger
nail).
Top coat
Used to seal polish in.
To provide a protective
cover for
natural/coloured nails.
Apply in 3 strokes (small
nail) up to 6 strokes
(larger nail).
