i had a terrible nail problem that i caught from a chain nail bar - my daughter was disgusted that i even went there, since she is able to do my nails - but because of work/time etc, i found it easier to go to a local. anyway i used Dr. G (available from good nail salons about $30-$40) its the only thing that got rid of it. i tried several other products. my nail had gone green & all the others were lifting from the nail bed (onocolisis or something similar) none of the pharmacys sell anything that will cure nail problems. if i were you i would definately invest in a bottle, ring all the salon in your area to see who stocks it. even order it on the internet if you have to. my problem is cured now, took a few months to totally go - but its gone. my daughter says its caused from not sterilising the equipment. beware of those salons that have the sitdown pedicure chairs aswell. i've been warned not to even think about it and after the last experience, i'm definately doing as i've been told. good luck.
