I use solar oil on my natural nails everyday to keep them strong and nourished. I also always wear gel polish to give them extra durability [emoji3]x
 
I started my first salon job as a nail technician last week and was told I will have trouble growing my nails 'being a nail technician'. I never wear acrylics and have recently cut them as short as possible but I know that I can grow them because I did it last year. I always take care of my nails and seeing people's lovely natural nails here, I think I can do it, right?
 
mine have been growing like weeds ever since I started using solar oil a few years ago :) these are mine 3 years of constant shellacking too and so strong heh :)

Ah so pretty. Very jealous of you all. My nails are naturally bendy and thin. I'm trying IBX now so hoping to get a little more length on them.

These are mine, was a nail biter for years and made the mistake of going to a nss so they aren't 100% recovered yet but nearly there, they are quite strong considering and I'm constantly putting cnd solar oil and hand cream on, I also use a glass nail file and the difference is amazing, hardly ever catch a snagged nail as they are so smooth, oh and I also use nail envy, this on my photo is nail envy hawian orchid
