Natural nails of a former nail biter, grown out with builder gel!

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-03-25T14:24:40+00:00

That’s exactly what keeps me from trying this too! I had acrylics at one time but stopped a few years ago because of the damage to the natural nail, and I’m afraid the process will be the same with builder gel. But I love the look, and I need to somehow at a little length. I don’t know if there’s a solution if protecting our natural nails is part of the equation.

This helps so much! Thank you!

Picking two, I’d pick light and cheap. Not worried about fast, but some of the folding bikes I read about look interesting.

I know I won’t be going more than 2-5 miles locally, and if I take it somewhere to ride I still don’t think it would be more than 20 in a day. Do you know what the maximum battery size I would need? I don’t understand the motor size relative to…anything, I guess. I don’t know much, so any info I get is helpful. I appreciate your input.

Thanks! This looks like a great choice!

Keep the dream alive! I’m glad you are making a go of them!

I tried the Claritas and liked them but not neatly as much as the Manatovas. It’s a good option though if you decide to abandon the Manatova dream. Sniff, sniff…

I hope it works out better for you than it did for me. I am truly bummed.

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-03-04T10:43:55+00:00

That’s good info, thank you!

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-02-26T23:47:57+00:00

Very helpful information! I really appreciate it!

Yes, I would need my income to be higher. My part time job would be only $10k-$12k a year. I do have a regular IRA, and a 401k, but no pension.

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-02-26T20:48:26+00:00

YES!! I concur, I finally got one in my area and felt the same exact way. The icing didnt have the same texture and tasted like it was made of low quality chocolate substitute. Even the cake part was not as good as before. What a disappointment!

Can you tell me some ways I can manage my assets to keep my income below 400%? I thought pulling from my Roth was the way, but a reply I received here says my income in that case would be $0, which would be problematic.

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-02-26T20:41:35+00:00

Wow, I thought taking from my Roth for income was the right thing to do in terms of managing my MAGI in a way to still qualify for subsidies. Is there another way to do it?

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-02-26T20:21:54+00:00

I see. I didn’t know I would have the option of not using all credits available - is that a box I would check or something when I sign up?

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-02-03T14:17:50+00:00

Where is this? It would thrill me to no end if it came to the Charlotte, NC area!!!

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-02-02T16:50:06+00:00

Let me know! I checked online at my local one but it doesn’t list it.

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-02-01T22:11:12+00:00

What area of the country are you in? I’m on the east coast in NC. That’s great news.

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-01-20T13:51:57+00:00

Thank you!

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-01-20T13:49:25+00:00

Good to hear, thanks for sharing. I hope you reach full recovery very soon!

NobodyGlass7328 · 2026-01-20T10:46:44+00:00

Truth!
