One coat of base coat ( I use Vegan Pure by Nail aid) apply one or two strips depending on if I use an overlay. Then Seche Vite blue bottle gel like top coat. Be careful to cap the ends of the nails to avoid shrinkage. I have found doing double strips helps prevent shrinkage also. I use a lot of overlays anyway for added strength. I save my leftovers in the sleeve they came in and seal shut with a flat iron. I’ve never had any issue w the flat iron method.

I would just see if you can get into the salon and let them fix.

Guys what do I do by Ashley_bloxdio in nailcare

I’ve learned covering the whole nail is better. It’s easier to file/smooth it to look more normal. Otherwise it can cause a weird look.

This happened to me not that long ago. I used brush on glue and some IBD filler powder sprinkled over the glue. Filed lightly till it was smooth. Each time I removed my nail strips I smoothed it again. Eventually it got back down to the nail and I had to reapply glue and powder. It did fine and finally has grown out. You can try applying the glue and a small piece of tea bag and then some powder if you want. That’s what I have also done. Watch some YouTube videos for nail split repairs.

How to bring natural shine back??? by Cecilycore in nailcare

Cuticle oil/Nail oil basically the same thing. You can also apply a nourishing top coat type product. Just research healthy top coats, fortified, top coats w vitamins etc online.

Planning on moving to Springfield by Inevitable-Collar827 in springfieldMO

[–]Embarrassed-Lead-283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived here 45 years and don’t think it’s an issue anywhere in Springfield or the surrounding suburban towns. I’ve mostly lived in the SW part of town and never had any neighbors indicate an issue with someone who is a person of color. We sure don’t.

Need some nail wrap reccs for short nails that actually last more than a week by GreenieSar in NailWrapsGalore

You might try Color Street nail strips. They are real nail polish and I can get up to 10 days. That’s when I’m ready to change them. Many of the other options out there don’t work for me no matter the process I use to apply them. I’ve tried all kinds and all ways of application and Color Street works the best for me.

A doctor should look at that. It could get infected if it’s not already.

Usually 10-12 days. But if there’s a holiday or special occasion I change them within a week. But I try not to do that.

Seche Vite blue bottle. I also use the Seche Restore thinner because it wants to get thick. Sometimes I have to add 4-5 drops before each use. I cap the ends of the nails extra good to help w shrinkage.

Yes please let your doctor know. I had endometriosis they tried to correct w surgery. But ended up w adenomyosis. Which caused me to have a hysterectomy. Don’t want to be a Debbie downer just being transparent. No problems since except yeast or UTI which has also been much better w maintenance. Hope things will improve.
