And another thing.

I got this stuff, it looks like clear nail polish, but it supposedly is nail PROTEIN.

It's called "nailtique" and I'm pretty much trying anything at this point.

I have always had weak nails, brittle nails, whatever. They suck.

Yet another lil' genetic shafting I got. Whatever.

Well, in the past two weeks, I've had my nails break so to the point of infection on FOUR different fucking nails.

Yeah. Ow. Not fucking fun.

So I went out and spent $18 on this shit I read that is supposed to be *amazing*.

I figure, what the fuck. It's better than pain.

So far, it looks like clear nail polish.

However, my nails, after like, 3 hours of this stuff, DO in fact feel stronger.

I really hope it works. I hate all the stupid breakages that happen.

Nailtiques and Nailtek are pretty good but you have to remember to use it every day.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

yeah, that'll be easy enough. cause right now i'm in awe of how my nails are after one day.

do you still use it?

[staciemeow.livejournal.com]

I don't. I always slacked off with it so my nails just go back to their usual state... which is not terrible but I can't seem to grow them.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

my nails suck. they don't grow. they just peel and flake and grow at odd angles. i was not blessed with nice nail beds.

Vitamin E oil!! serious!!

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

i did that. no go, man. it worked for my neck though. but i stopped doing that. and it sucked. so now i'm doing it again.

i don't know WHY the vitamin e oil didn't work on my nails. i tried mosturizer, and that wasn't really cutting it, so i said, okay, i'll do the straight oil.

which worked WONDERS on my neck, but not so much for the nails. *sigh*

maybe i'll use a combo of vitamin e oil and this stuff. hmm.

Nailtiques is good stuff.

Also recommend Solar Oil (if you can get it, Sally's sometimes sells it) every day too.

Also...to promote growth, (since the only thing that makes nails grow is blood flow) tap your fingertips lightly on a hard surface...not the nails, but the finger tip pads. Promotes blood lfow to the fingers like a massage....and ther for nail growth.

Gah..

I gave up on having nice long nails they get to a certain point then the peeling and tearing begins. Did the fake nail thing for a while, then realised that the only reason I wanted the nails was for ummmm well n/m that *giggels* I have found if I can keep from bitting them when they break/peel and clip or file them instead they will grow just past the tips of my fingers and stay sharp and look nice like I like them to be ;)

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

hahaha...

i can't do the fake nail thing. i wear contacts and will stab myself.

not to mention i have oily nails. so i can barely keep on nail polish. it chips and flakes off. i've had fake nails go on, and two days later pop off. it's just my nails. they suck.

[freya9699.livejournal.com]

lol I did that too with contacts and scratched my own eye owie!!!! I have the same thing with oily nails I am lucky to keep nail polish on long enough to dry *sigh* the only time I can keep nails and nail polish on is if I go and have them done, something they do at a salon they stay on forever. Well at least a week, but seems like forever to me. Good Luck anyways, let me know how it worksout for you.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

yeah, the salon thing STILL doesn't work for me.

the toes have gotten better. especially if i don't have close toed shoes.. wee!

*nods* Jen used nailtique and it worked really good for her. But yar, that shit is expensive, yo.

[synnoveaevael.livejournal.com]

i'm gonna put another coat on at lunch. wee.
