What to do with my nails?

6 replies

I love seeing people with gel polish - they look lovely and put together!

But when I was getting it on my nails consistently, they were a state! Weak, brittle and the ends of my fingers were sore.

Do I need a good polish? Amazing top coat? Have even considered the nail wraps.

Would love to do them on a Sunday night and have them look nice all week. Any suggestions appreciated Smile

Sounds like you might be allergic if your fingers are sore? I have the semi cured wraps, they last just as long as gel polish, but if I don't fancy them I use a 7 in 1 builder in a bottle gel, lasts weeks.
I don't know why I do any of it though because in my job I chip anything within a day😂.

I do my own gels with an extra thick base layer which means after a week it lifts slightly and they peel off. Absolutely no damage to my nails as I'm not using remover.

Gel nail wraps? This company sell no cure gels and semi cured where you'll need a lamp

I now use DD UV gel lamp which helps my nails last at least a week

To remove I have to apply nail varnish remover to cotton wool and cover with foil for 10 mins min
