sounds like you have had an awful time and I am so sorry for your loss. It seems that you are expressing your grief through your nail habit and as you say you have done extremely well to grow then again.

If you were near me Id suggest a gel overlay to help keep them covered for a while and lots of regular applications of cuticle oil.

sending you a hug.

Hi there,

I would advise a fibreglass or silk overlay as this can be easily soaked off and is very thin and not noticable if done correctly. You can keep having infills on it although i would recommend it be taken off every 4 months and re applied onve the condition of your nails has been checked.

Although Gel is an option, you would need to make sure you have a very very experienced nail tech to apply it and take it off. As Gel can only be filed off it can be very damaging to your natural nails if not done properly.

With fibreglass and silk, they can be easily soaked off so no damage to natural nails and with a little buffing can be restored to former beauty.

Hope this helps.

hey...you don't have to make excuses for nail biting... bite away!

I bite too. But not as much as i would like to, cos i wear my extensions nearly all of the time.

I love nail biters, i get plenty of business from them, and i can make them very happy with a beautiful set of new nails.

I always tell people that they bite because it feels good, dont feel bad or guilty about it.

having a nno wont actually make your natural nails stronger though.

it will reinforce what you have and help protect them from breakages but it wont mean that your nails will transorm into stronger ones and you'll be in the same condition as before if you choose to have the nno removed.

to improve the condition of your natural nails i'd recomend using a good quality cuticle oil 3 times a day. that will help them grow more quickly and keep them more flexible so that they are likely to withstand knocks and bumps better.

if you decide on a nno i'd recomend a good soak off gel. its flexible like the natural nail and theres no trauma when its removed to worry about either.
