QUESTION: My client often has white spots on her nails. What causes this?

Nails Magazine - Resources
ANSWER: White spots on the nail is perhaps the most common nail disorder and are called leukonychia, which literally means "whiteness of the nails." There are many types of nail whiteness, some of which indicate serious illness; fortunately, by far the most common cause of white spots on the nail is minor injury to the nail matrix. Caused by trauma or minor injury to the nail matrix, these spots will grow out from the matrix with the nail plate and eventually disappear.

Will my natural nails continue to grow under the acrylics?

A-1 nails...at your fingertips Nail Salon
Yes, your natural nails will continue to grow under the acrylics. I often describe it as "taking the acrylic along for a ride". Clients are often amazed that their nails now grow "so fast", when in reality, they simply are just not breaking off now. The common goal for most acrylic nail wearers is to have their natural nails with an acrylic overlay - this will occur within a few fills providing you don't break one that needs to be repaired with a tip or a form.

Wolff Tanning Beds
There are several reasons that a person will begin to develop white spots. One common reason is vitiligo, which is characterized by irregularly shaped white patches of skin, surrounded by dark borders. The white patches are sensitive to UV exposure. Doctors will often use a lotion based form of psoralen (an extremely photosensitizing agent) and induce up to second-degree bums on the specific areas. This in effect, reactivates dormant melanocyte cells into producing melanin again.

What are these white spots?

Asian Sun Tanning Studio - A tanning salon in Hudson, Ohio.....
There are a few reasons why white spots become noticeable on the body once the tanning process begins. Typically, white patches of skin on the shoulder blades, elbows and just above the buttocks are caused by the pressure from the body as it reclines on a hard acrylic surface. This pressure inhibits the flow of blood through that area of the skin. Since blood carries oxygen and oxygen is essential to the tanning process, this area does not tan.
