My nails are a state, they have been for years. I bit them badly as a child, stopped in my 20s, but do tend to nibble them these days: they are short, rough, uneven. I can stop this when they look better, but they generally look rubbish! I’ve never had a manicure of any sort. I don’t have any kind of routine.
Atm they are short and uneven. They are a bit lopsided due to years of biting. I have persistent hangnails / torn cuticles which I tend to pick as the skin dries up.
what should I do to improve the overall condition, and generally get them looking nice? My mum and MIL have lovely nails: both have a little bowl of nail files / cuticle sticks etc sitting by their chairs where they watch tv that they use every night. Do I need to go that? Should I be carrying an emery board everywhere I go and whipping it out every time I feel a rough bit?
please share your easy nail care routine!
