Here's what my nails look like now, about two weeks after having my gels removed:
As you can see, my cuticles are heavily dried out from the removal process and there are file marks all over my nails.
You can see the ridges here and also just how thin and brittle they are. *Sad face*
From this angle, you can see the major ridge in my nail from where the gels were and where my nail has grown in. I'm about 1/4 of the way of having them grow out altogether and am getting anxious!
This week's regimen consists of two main aspects:
The first, as recommended by numerous bloggers and nail techs, is to constantly moisturize! Not just for the cuticles and skin, but also for the nails. The better moisturized they are, the healthier they are.
The second:
This came highly recommended to me by a friend of mine and I'll be applying it once a day for a week to see its effect. This is a nail hardener that is supposed to help toughen up nails and prevent them from breaking. We shall see!
What products would you like to see me test as part of Nail Rehab?
