I had a client with 1 green nail. I refused to put product on and told her to leave the nail product free for at least 3 months. She was grateful that I educated her on it, but upset that she had to leave without pretty nails. Never saw her again - I think she may have gone to someone else to have her nails done before the 3 months were over. Oh well, you can only inform, not in force.

I work in a medical laboratory and I want to compliment you on your delivery of important health information. Very clear and accurate scientific explanation. Great presentation.

When I was a waitress, my nails would often turn orange under my acrylics and I always thought it was just from working around food. But when one of the techs who didn't normally do my nails saw my hands he literally gasped and scolded the girls who were doing my nails regularly because they had been covering it up! I didn't know it was actual bacteria until he explained 😳 He refused to put more extensions on until the orange went away, which I was sad about, but grateful. A lot of salons are just looking to make the quick money, sadly.

student nail tech here. I got greenies for the first time at the end of last month when I wanted to keep my xmas nails on just a bit longer. against my better judgement, I used nail glue to solve the issue 🤭 thankfully, it was only on one nail and has since disappeared. I'd also like to say, thank you, Anastasia, for explaining greenies and prevention so well. it was something I've already been taught, but your perspective on it was super informative and easy to follow. so much better than reading it our of a textbook

Hi Anastasia! I want to thank you for showing viewers your professional and modern services. A lot of videos I have watched, for dry or wet services, feature improper use of the bits, the use of unusual tools, and rather unsophisticated methods! This makes me appreciate your videos even more, and I always learn so much! Thank you for all of your hard work! By the way, the flame bit is my favorite part to watch, and when you do Anna's nails. 😍

I've enjoyed your uploads for a long while now - watching you develop your skills, not only in nails, but in expressions. You sound so professional, knowledgable, truly like a role model for us who may learn from you. Thank you!

When I first started doing my own nails, I got greenies a few times. I quickly learned my lesson the hard way.

I've never had it happen but I'm very surprised that I didn't because of the salons I went to when I used to get them done. Those salons were awful! I do my own and have for 3 yrs. Very informative and thank you so much for sharing!

You made her manicure really beautiful as you always do, you always have a high standard and your clients nail health comes before just throwing something over it like I know most "nail techs" would just to keep their client happy for the hour they're in even if it means getting a nail infection. Happy travelling, stay safe, Blessings from Scotland. 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

I love how well you teach! I just shared this video with all my fellow nail enthusiasts 😃

This is an absolutely exceptional explanation of greenies! Thank you so much ❤

Definitely learned something. Haven't faced the greenies yet but now I feel like I know what to do and how to reassure a client.

Pseudomonas was one of the many reasons that flowers weren’t allowed in the hospital I work at as it can grow in the water/ vases. The pollen can also trigger respiratory issues but the main reason was that stagnant water is a perfect environment for bacteria to grow. The sealed flowers wrapped In a self contained water bag are a lot better these days . It always bugged me when I’d see nail videos calling greenies ‘fungal’ infections cos that green/ blue tinge to the nails is almost always pseudo.

Thank you so much for the information. It is important for DIYers like myself to have knowledge on how to properly care for our nails. I love you videos for information, reviews and your stories.

Thank you for making this video, I have never seen this before and I now know the importance of not covering it and and carrying on. What a great lesson to learn xx

Yes! I had this problem. It happened when my fake nails started lifting. I always thought it was fungus and now I know it wasn't. Thank you so much for this education. You are very, very informative. Again thank you for this video.

I myself had a greenie and immediately treated the nail with Tea tree oil drops, 4 times a day drops on it, after a week it was almost gone !!!

Ooh the Melody Susie e-file looks gorgeous! I just got some of their ceramics drill bits and I love them so much ❤❤❤❤

I have a happy Greenie story. I got them once from going WAY too long between fills and having a couple of severely lifted nails. My schedule just wouldn't allow for frequent fills. I I started doing my own nails when the tech explained why it happened Now that I can do it myself, the MOMENT I notice any sort of lifting, I fix it immediately. As a side effect, I found out that my tech was overfiling my nails and they're much stronger now and I don't have to use tips, I can simply do overlays. I used to get told that I couldn't grow out my natural nails, they were too thin. Turns out no. They were just overfiled. I followed the "bad" KZread advise, and put an enhancement on the nails, but it didn't go bad, and I did monitor it very closely for any spreading. The infection was a bit higher up the nail plate and my nails grow very slowly, so it took almost 3 months to grow out completely. Near the very end by the time it had grown off, the green had faded quite a bit and looked almost like if nicotine stains were greenish. It was a moment of TRIUMPH when I finally clipped it off and my nails were all one healthy color again.

I love the videos very informative. Helps to get educated watching these, I love my melody Susie efile. Been looking at the rechargeable ones. Thinking about getting one, I only do my own nails with polygel most of the time. I make full cover press ons for family with gel polish. Just ordered some new detailing brushes that I'll be using for the design on my next set, also melody Susie. Have a blessed day, keep the videos coming!

Extremely helpful. Thank you!!

Thank you for this video!! When I was using press on nails last year I got some light greenies on two nails, now I know it's for sure because I just glued the press on nails back on after they popped off

really good and informative video! i'd like to add something to what you said near the end: why using a CLEAR nail paint when you could use colour to hide the damage and te rest of the colouring in the nail? BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE HOW IT PROGRESS!!! if you paint it black and you remove the paint next week, you would notice you are having a problem after letting it fester for one more week! if you are having a medical issue, PLEASE, leave aside the "beauty" part of your life as much as it's needed. it's so much more important to have healthy nails than pretty ones, and once they are healthy again, you can do whatever you want to them once again

I can't hardly get my extension to last more than a week.

@StellaLilly I've been doing my own. I'm no pro tho, so that's probably part of my problem as well... lol I also was told that I have oily nails when I used to get my nails done. So every other fill in I had to get a new set. I stopped because it was just too expensive to get a new set of nails once a month. (My nails grow pretty quickly, but I bite them or rip them off when I get nervous/anxious/bored)

I’ve had greenies a few times before since I’ve had acrylic extensions for 22 years with very few breaks. Techs have always just cleaned my nail up and redid the acrylic. I guess I’m lucky nothing ever came from it. It would eventually just grow off and I was fine. I haven’t had greenies in a long time now but I do occasionally glue nails back down until I can get to the salon. I’m a horrible nail biter (to the point where I bite down the sides of the nails even) so it’s best to keep my nails covered.

I use to get the green nail from gluing down the lifting. But when I would make sure it's completely dry underneath by using a hair dryer or fan then I wouldn't have that problem

I’ve had this before and somehow got it again in the last week on my thumb all the way close to the cuticle of my nail. My nails are so thin I cannot live without a hard gel overtop. They physically hurt and bend when I do anything. I had made them as short as my hyponicium allows but how do I handle this if I MUST apply gel overtop for strength. Right now I have clear base gel in a thick layer on my nail. Will this make it spread?

I'm lucky I know how to do my own nails so that as soon as I sense lifting or that something is wrong, I can remove the product and fix any issues. I tend to keep a layer of hard gel on my nails under the other gels, acrylics, and polishes so that I rarely get down to the bare nail, and I do maintenance on my sidewalls and cuticles and edges every couple of days to catch lifting. My boyfriend thinks it's funny that I am always working on them even though they are not very long, and I said it's important to me to keep them in good condition because I work with my hands so they need to be healthy.

Oh definitely no way to properly clean and dehydrate under there. I feel bad when I see this happen 😔 Love your videos 💜💖💜

the new melody suzie drill look like the kiara sky drill. this the first one i want to try. I would have gotten this had it been out when I got my KS

I’ve never had it on my nails but feet several times. My aunt taught me in my teens to have them to cut the nail all the way down and then anti fungal cream.

I just found out my nails had the greenies today. I did my own nails, I used nail tips and gel polish about 3 weeks ago, I noticed some lifting but I thought I could leave it for a few more days before I could do them again. I lost a nail today and saw it, then I saw a dark spot under the nail tip in my other finger and found another yet bigger spot, I panicked and went to get a nail file and acetone based extensions remover to remive them all, I filed them and most of the tint is gone but I saw tea tree oil is good for this? Also to not do a cutícula treatment? And I saw you did that in a dry manicure. I would highly appreciate any advice and guidance 😢

Thanks ❤the video

Hello Thank you for this kind of information I sadly have my fingers so bad using tips my nails are painful and ugly, because of that using tips glue and other stuff I have to use tips because I’m embarrassed 🥹to people seeing my fingers what do you recommend to do ? Please advise me Xoxo Veronica ❤🤲🏼

I learned! I definitely would've panicked if I saw this and didn't watch this

What can she do about the softness of the nails?

wowww i dint know how you look like, your very pretty

I’ve seen nail shops put acrylic on toes with black spots on it. They just cover it up with acrylic! I always thought it was unsanitary!

That clip isn’t just for your belt. It works to clip onto a rolling cart or a fabric drawer.

I thought I had a greenie nail and I was like nooooo!! but it was an old bruise because I’m clumsy and I whack my fingers and trap them all the time.😫

I have never had pseudomonas, but I had a severe gel allergy from a gel adhesive that I used to attach my gelly tips and a fungus infection, the gel allergy was so bad that it burned my nail plate, my physician did not want me to use the fungal pills because it causes liver damage and takes so long to heal, so prescribed me ciclopirox 8% nail lacquer, it healed the fungus in 3 months. I still haven’t used anything on my nails, I am just trying to get my nails healthy, I did dry press ons once, with acrylic to adhere them to see if the acrylic would bother me and I had no issues, so when I am ready, I will probably switch to acrylic.

once the green has been removed and the clear coat is being applied, is it safe to apply using the bottles brush and dipping back in, or would you have to pour the polish into a dish and use something disposable to apply?

Ok I have a question. What about using nail glue for full coverage tips like nails to go from Sally’s? I used them they’ve been on about two weeks but there were bubbles under a few nails! Should I take them off? I can see a little bit of moisture in the bubbles especially after a shower and stuff but no discoloration that I can see. They are mostly transparent.

Just curious to know if you can use the UV light to kill the bacteria ?

I used to use just tips with glue and regular nail polish, I for some reason, didn't understand they won't last, and used to glue them back when they would lift. Bad idea, I had green spots on almost all nails. Then I did something worse. I used dip powder and tips, and didn't expect how strong it would be, compared to a simple glued nail tip, and when one nail lifted, I tried to rip it off, but the part that was not lifted held very tight, and it hurt like... enough for me to learn the lesson that whenever you apply any hardening product, like acrylic or dip powder, and you want to remove it, you file.

If a client only had a green nail on one finger would you be able to apply enhancements on the rest of the fingers?

A client of mine glued her nails with nail glue because she didn't had money to take them off or do them again, when she finally came she had greenies in one of her fingers, she was mad at me for not doing her nails again untill the pseudomonas were gone. But she went to another nail tech because she said she needed her nails done 🤷🏻‍♀️

So with this drill you don’t need to turn it off before putting in reverse from forward?

Doesn't filing cause bacteria to enter the nail bed as well, since the nail is being damaged?

It’s pseudomonas 6:31 ah you just said it 😂 Edit: yes I got it once from a gel manicure. Instead of taking it off or going back to the salon I glued it. However, the next time I had lifting from glue on nails, I poured isopropyl alcohol down between my nail and fake nail. I let it dry and Reggie’s it and didn’t get a greenie

Why do you cut off the proximal nail fold?

I was using nail tips and because I don't go to nail technician because they are expensive, I used the nail glue from the box. I had the nails for a week idk how the lasted so long and I got the same bacteria. In my index it was so bad that the color it had was dark green. I trimmed my nails, tried to remove as much as I could with my nail file and I didn't out any product, not even nail polish and waited it to grow so I can trim it. Since then I never used nail tips with glue only the press on nails and regular nail polish

I want to buy these cuticle cutter/ scissors .. any lead plz??

So I have that going with my nails n my two bigs toes nail ….so should I just do fake nails for now instead going back to nails shop instead…..

This video was very interesting and informative, I enjoyed it until the cuticles trimming, which completely made my skin crawl

I don't trust soft gel tips. How do I adhere them ?

I developed a condition like this but it was because of poor nail care when I went to my usual nail shop I eventually stopped going when I tried to address it and my nail tech snapped at me

lol how many melodie susie drills do you have now???

This is why I always advise against wearing nail glue for more than 1 day 🙈 it’s also why it’s not good to have air bubbles in gel

Whenever I deal with lifting on my dip nails, I just put a band-aid on it until I get it fixed. It looks ridiculous, but I'd rather have it look dumb as opposed to making it worse.

Yes I did but I ripped my toe nail half off and scrapped it out…yeah

You just have to grow the nail out. You can't heal a nail. It's already dead. Same as hair. Once they grow to the point you can see them, it's dead keratin. You can help make new growth healthier but the part that's already grown is not something that can be healed.

I have a question for anyone in the comments..I’m dealing with greenies for the first time after using glue on nails. I know you’re not supposed to put anything on your nails while they’re healing, so I haven’t and they’re fading pretty quick. My question is, can you still use cuticle creams/oils on the nail and cuticle while they’re healing?

When I was a teenager, I was in many pageants. I had green nail syndrome. I had to have my nails removed. Then I had to soak my nails in hydrogen peroxide to help kill the bacteria. It was painful, and gross!
