How fast do your nails grow? Do you have any deficiencies? Arm aching trying to file them

[wantmoreenergy]

2 separate questions sorry but firstly, how quickly do your nails grow? Mine seem to grow really fucking fast. I always seem to be needing to deal with them.

I also have fatigue stemming from low ferritin and folate but it surely can't be normal to feel the muscles in your arm/ hand getting shaky after filing down 4 nails? Am literally taking a break from it now it feels so pathetic I knew I have utterly shit upper body strength but this is on another level of shitness.

Ooh I can answer this.

I got a mani exactly 13 weeks ago and the varnish has just grown out so it takes my nails this long to grow (yes, I should have removed the varnish/ repainted but it was a pale colour and I wasn't bothered).

Filing? What a faff! I just use a nail scissors.
