I love my finger nails painted (not shellac, I do my own, shellac wrecked my nails in the past), I only use nude colours but when I remove the polish my nails start breaking.
I had a manicure not long ago and my nails looked good but I started painting them and then they broke again. I try to leave gaps in between painting them but its still the same.
Do you keep your finger nails natural? I feel more polished with some varnish on.
