One year of doing my own nails

[u/pomsje]

Still broke, so this is my second year doing everything myself with regular polish. These are my favorite sets of 2024

Help. How does one strengthen their nails? I had hard gel for about 3 years and I cannot get my natural nails strong again!!

I’ve tried sally hansen nail strengthener and Nail aid but it isn’t helping

Unfortunately, a lot of it is genetics, but nail oil really helps keeping them bendy. If they become too dry they will break instead. I never used strengthener so I don’t know if it helps but always wearing multiple layers of coat stabilises them a little bit

Le sigh. I worry I’m in the poo poo genetics pool in terms of nail strength. However, thank you for the tip of nail oil. That’s my last shot here LOL

If you do nailtiques get the #2 plus or whatever it’s called, for damaged nails!!!!!

Happy to help!! I need more for my sad nails 😕

Also., it was recommended to me by a nail tech YEARS ago at a very fancy salon/spa at a hotel when I got a mani!! Thought hers were fake!!
