Re: Finger Nails

I keep my nails just growing over fingertip.
I paint them with a VERY pale pink , used to go to the nail salon , but don"t bother so much these days. I take an iron supplement 3 times a week and that has helped greatly.

Re: Finger Nails

My nails are okay but my fingertips are in a terrible state through working in dry conditions or not keeping hydrated. Tried many times to eradicate this but some people have skin than becomes chapped, others don't. I'll live with it.

Well you don't have to do, do you? It suits me and I shall continue to do so until I turn up my toes, so there. I do ensure my hands are clean, I get through a lot of hand gel!

Re: Finger Nails

I have never been to a nail salon. My nails are quite flexible and still pinky/pearly looking. I can grow them, but if one breaks I have to trim all the others the same length. Never worn nail polish, but I do shape them with an emery board. I can't do without hand cream and get through buckets of it. I have a bad habit of pushing down my cuticles with my fingers (not the nails) which makes me look as if I am fidgeting.

Re: Finger Nails

I look after my own nails these days although I used to go to the salon. I keep them short out of necessity because I'm always doing stuff that breaks them.

Yes I use polish not always coloured sometimes I just have a coat of Hard as Nails on that's the same finish as clear varnish.

Re: Finger Nails

A dishwasher must be vital to keep those long false nails on. Never had a dishwasher, I'd rather have the cupboard space. My nails are short and clean and I use plenty of hand cream. No particular cream ,just regular use.

Hard as nails is my holy grail of nail care. Never without a bottle or three

I’ve only been once to a nail salon, for the emergency repair. I’ve always done my own nails I had a sort out of nail polish earlier in the year and threw out 30 or 40 bottles. I still have about 30 colours here and I add new ones regularly

Never thought of it Newcomer, but yes I have a dishwasher and I think it helps preserve real nails as well, plus saves hands drying out. I sometimes get contact dermatitis, but since having a dishwasher it has helped a lot.
