(whether you did or not, Im not sure, I'm just speaking in general in the big picture as to why its important).


She was $50 for a fill, I am sure that qualifies her as more expensive. She had a lot of complaints, I finally started going to her nemesis.

I showed her!!!

Definitely use a nail strengthener. I used a calcium strengthener by Orly ALL the time and it has done wonders to strengthen my nails. They are now back to their healthy pre-fake nail strength. It also helps to keep some type of polish on your nails to protect them while they are growing out.

Honestly, the most you can really do is make sure to put on moisturizer to keep them hydrated and.. Wait it out.. Not much else to do

. Nail strengtheners and hardeners usually just make the nails brittle and they break off.. So don't use them unless you absolutely need to.

Do not try and rip or bite them off yourself, this is going to set up your natural nails for failure.

it's really okay, your nails will be fine, it will just take time. i would put strenghter on them, it will not work miracles or even help at first but it will be okay in the end. just file them as short as you can and let them regrow.
