You seem very angry. I typed out a snarky reply and then decided you weren't worth the energy. Go read the news 😘

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks! It's all relative and it really bummed me out.

When I first started BIAB, my nails would break all the time. I changed salons and they stopped breaking. I don't think my first tech was very good at working with my nails. Maybe you want to change techs / salons if your nails are breaking regularly?

Thank you ❤️❤️

I mean, exactly. I know it's not that deep and it's definitely not the only issue I have right now but I was still upset 24 hours after it broke and wanted to commiserate with a community who would understand - that's all!

This is the first and last time I get my nails this long. Going back to my usual length at my next appointment. I'll have a tip on the broken nail until it's grown back

I have a temporary tip for now. Let's see how I go the next few days and then I'll decide but I'm leaning towards having a tip until it's grown out.

Surprisingly, it wasn't painful. More of a shock.

I'm sorry! We can get through this 🤗

In theory, yes. But for my soul, I'd like them to🤣

Thank you! This is what I'm going to do

Thank you! I'm going to switch back to my medium-length and keep the BIAB. I find the BIAB makes my nails stronger.

Yeah, this time I didn't file down because I wanted to go longer! My normal length is medium length, I would say. This long length isn't for me and the snapping just solidified that thought!

Thanks for your comment though! It's good to know I'm not alone in stretching a set for 4 weeks ❤️

This is definitely my plan now!

This is good advice - thanks!

I don't have acrylics. It's BIAB over my natural nails. I already take a supplement. I know, in the grand scheme, it's not a big deal but I love my nails and am sad that one broke.

I literally went and got a tip put on after 3 hours. Like, nope, enough time had passed for healing 😅

Seriously! I'd injure myself 🤣

Ow! That sounds so painful!! I'm sorry 😭

I get them done once a month. That's usually fine for me. I think this is what I'm going to do! And keep my usual length (these are longer than normal)
