What is a greenie?

Modified on Wed, 20 Dec, 2023 at 1:50 PM

Greenies are greenish discoloured areas on the natural nail and are nothing to worry about. If, for example, lifts have formed in the dipping manicure or dipping has been done on injured nails, moisture and dirt can easily accumulate in the gaps and subsequently discolour.

We recommend that you refrain from washing your hands immediately before dipping and work very thoroughly during application.

If a greenie has formed, disinfect it regularly and allow it to grow out completely. You can then continue with the dipping manicure as usual.

However, if you are unsure whether it is a nail fungus after all, we recommend that you seek advice from your trusted pharmacy.
