Title: Broke another fingernail
Post by: V M on October 04, 2009, 06:36:31 PM
Dang!!! Normally this wouldn't bother me. It didn't hurt any.

But that makes four now and I was planning to take some pictures tomorrow  :P

Now my nails are all uneven  :P

Thinks of Nero's avatar and yells "It just ain't fair!!!"

Doesn't that just get frustrating.  I hate when I break an acrylic nail, which I have done.

Do those "press on" nails work?

They are OK if you just want some nice nails for the night.  Also the glue one ones work better.  Acrylic nails are really tough.  But natural nails are best.

Depending on who does your acrylics, they can ruin your own nails.  I do mine myself.  It is actually pretty easy.  And I don't damage my nails.

I'm now taking large daily doses of biotin and calcium supplements to try to counteract some of the damage wrought on my nails from estrogen. If that doesn't work after a few weeks I'm going acrylic. Janet's right- if done carefully they won't damage your nails which is what my sister told me as well and she's had them for a long time off and on. Besides, it can't be any worse than constantly breaking, splitting, or delaminating them the instant they get any length beyond your fingertips.

I've tore off a fingernail before completely by accident. I was so upset because I was planning on trying some new nail polish that night Dx
