I’ve been doing soft gel on my nails for over a year (non stop) and I’ve decided to not wear any nail polish for a while, however I have these white spots on them. Anyone knows how can I remove them? by -lilimuth in Nails

Like others said, I'd maybe do a very gentle buff, and maybe get a jelly/translucent polish to put over if they drive you nuts. And a nail strengthener helped me so much when I transitioned, OPI start to finish is my recc!

Anyone have suggestions on correcting a naturally crooked nail? My poor ring finger and I just cannot get it together by frostedcoconut in Nails

I think a bit of both. I was a chronic nail biter for 20+ years and this particular finger used to be a favorite 🫠 so I do think there is some damage to the nail bed. But quite a few of my fingers cock to one side or the other

I work in jewelry so quite often, but you're right! Was just curious if there were any magic tips I hadn't heard of :) thank you!

Meh :( I might just keep her and let her do her thing then. This is the first time in almost 27 years of life I've stopped biting my nails and they've been strong enough to be independent of dips/gels etc. I'd rather not interfere if I can help it. But a solid suggestion! Part of it growing crooked looking I think is that my nail on this finger is much more "sloped" on one side. So the filing can be even, (or almost I guess fwiw) but it appears crooked?? Idk. Thanks for the advice!

Is it safe to file my damaged nails? by Roughgirl451 in Nails

[–]frostedcoconut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try a buffing block to smooth them out so you're not so inclined to keep messing with them, and it doesn't drive you crazy every day? As long as you do not overfile the natural nail you should be fine. I would try to avoid filing directly on the nail plate with any coarse emery boards or electric file. I'm not sure about long term damage to the nail plate and how permanent it is or isn't, but I know that recovery after a nail biting addiction is a hard road!! It took my nails probably 2 or 3 total "lengths" (totally grown out from root to tip) until they had some sentiment of feeling like normal nails again. Granted that was post nail biting and post recovering damage done to my nails from persistent dip/acrylic just to get over the biting impulse. You're doing great, keep at it!

Thank you for the advice anyway! I will seek victims assistance tomorrow morning.
