[Histonet] Softening of a fingernail

[Parkkisenniemi Päivi]

Hello,
We have got a fingernail that we should soften  before cutting.  What would
you recommen for softening method ? Few years ago we had a nail  and I think
that we
used KOH, but I´m not sure because we dot´t have the recipe anymore.

                                        thank you in advance,
