Hi all,

I'm new on here (only found the site as I was trying to google my problem!) :o Great site !!!!

I lifted my small finger nail slightly a few years back when attempting to stay on my nutty stallion :eek: I didn't think much of it as I had not studied nails by then and choose to ignore it... it eventually grew out. A few years later I did my nail course and we all had to have acrylics on .. this small fingernail lifted again ... and after a few weeks the others started to do the same! I put it down to a fungal infection and started using clear nail and fungus fix and they eventually grew out and were fine.

Recently my natural nails were very long and after excessive typing at work my small finger natural nail again lifted ... promptly followed by every fingernail (except my thumbs) again!!!!

I can't understand why this keeps happening .. it always starts with the small one lifting first.... there is no yellow underneath.. they are perfectly clean and the lifted area is always very white. What I am doing wrong, or is it just that my nail beds are weak and the tap tapping of the typing is lifting them up when they are too long? Does anyone else have this problem with their natural nails or am I just going crazy!!!!!!!!!!! :irked: I could understand it if I had acrylics on but I don't :sad:. (just to add my toe nails are perfect !!! :biggrin: (I suppose at least something on me is right !!! LOL )

Any suggestions would be gratefully received !!!!

You have almost answered your own question,
it is made worse by you wearing your nails long and the tapping on the key board,
the condition is called Onycholysis hth :hug:
 
Thanks guys ... Sadly thought this might be the case (love having long nails too :cry:) I'm trying curanail at the moment, looks like from now on I'll be trying to keep them short ish or finding another job:wink2::wink2:
