Ladies - nail advice, pretty please!

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Ladies,

Your help, please.

I've been having shellac on my nails for the past 5/6 months. Recently my nails are really dry and have started to peel off in layers at the tip..

What can I do? Any good treatments that will help..

Thanks in advance! Xx

Stop with shellac for a few months.. They need a rest and to breath.

I'd get a white buffing block, buff them up then give them a soak few times a week in some warm oil suitable for nails and add cuticle oil every night.

Investing in a good anti peeling nail varnish treatment too.

Good luck.

Stop using shellac!

You need nail oil, perfectil hair and nails vitamins.

And try Leighton Denny buffer with treatment cream.

I get Jessica gel on my nails, not harsh. Shellac is like car paint. Bad.

Hull but travel regularly

Oil, massage, a break from shellac. I had Jessica geleration every 2 weeks for 2 years and didn't have a problem. Since changing to Shellac it does seem to dry my nails much more so when your nails have had a break consider alternatives to shellac? X

The acetone you disk the shellac off with every time is not good for them either.

Thank you all, lovelies.

I'm clueless about nails so the advice is really appreciated. Getting the Shellac removed in the morning. x

Ever since I've been using the horse shampoo on my hair, which involves massaging it into my scalp and the rest of my hair once a week, my nails have gone really long and strong as well. The stuff is actually for hooves and manes so when I'm sticking it on my hair it's covering my nails as well!
