Oh SG I feel like a great big nerd but I'm so excited to post this.
You know a while ago I said I had a challenge to see if I could grow my nails?
Well I'm one month in and its going omg so well! Eeeee I love looking at my hands now, I've always chewed my nails but I have to say for me well looked after manicured nails is such a good look. I mean what says you care about yourself more than clean, healthy nails? I don't mean the horrendous talons you see sometimes... you know when they start to turn and curl... ewwwww
Anyway so this was my nails one month ago... 29.03.10 to be exact
Wooo... ugly nails of all shapes and sizes
and.. Now!
Not so ugly nails, generally of a square equalish size!
My nails have a while to they get to my perfect wanted length..
ohhh so beautiful.
Anyway thought I would write up the secrets to my success
- Don't put your fingers in your mouth. Never. The enzymes in your saliva break nails down.
- That Sally Hansen Triple Strong I'm holding.. IS THE BOMB. I've been using it for over a week and I LOVE it, its crap alone, but wear it under and over your favorite polish.. and holy crap. Normally my nail polish chips within a few hours. In that picture I've been wearing that mint polish for three days... three days people not a chip or anything and its cheapo 3 polish.
- Use a glass nail file, shape your nails in one direction and try not to shape too often especially if your growing your nails. Wear a dark colour too, it really helps you shape easier.
- This is going to sound terrible but... if like me your nails split, chip and peel easy you HAVE to be prissy if you have long nails. I mean wear rubber gloves when doing the washing up, use a knife to open tin cans and use other tools to scrape things etc.
Sorry if this was utter crap, but it kept me happy
