So here is my first product review for this blog!
Everyone loves having great looking nails. Hands/nails are one of the most noticed features when meeting a new person, seeing family, meetings, basically anything you do!
As a nail tech, I get a lot of people telling me that they love having acrylics or gel nails, but upon removal, their nails are weak, soft, and paper thin.
Well..There are a few things that can be done. First one being, DON'T GET ENHANCEMENTS AND LEAVE THEM ON FOR YEARS AT A TIME! I suggest keeping them on for a few months ( a good rule of thumb ((no pun intended! lol!)) is when your natural nail is as long as your enhancement) . When you remove your enhancements, SOAK them off in 100% pure acetone. DO NOT POP/RIP/BITE/CHEW your enhancements off. Doing this will rip layers of your already thin nail off with the acrylic.
After removing enhancements, I also suggest getting regular manicures. They're cheap, and you get a hand/arm massage included in the price!! If done right, this should be veryyy relaxing!
If regular manicures are out of the question, I recommend investing in a nail strengthener. The good ones can be a little pricey (around $16 for OPI nail envy which now comes in 6 different formulas)
The salon formulas are usually better, try O.P.I Nail envy, or Nail Tek . You can also pick some up at the drugstore. I have tried sally hansen products and seen ok results from them.
Anyway..My personal favorite is the OPI nail envy line! I have not tried all of the formulas, just the original and it has taken my nails from tissue paper thin, and hurting, to strong and healthy looking!
I hope this review has helped out the many of us who have weak brittle peeling nails!!
