For years I have
toyed with my nails, I love seeing beautifully
manicured nails. I must admit though I didn't always make the time to
look after them myself so when Acrylics became the IN thang I
was all over it!! From very young I started experimenting with
acrylic nails. Back then it was very fashionable to have nails
uncomfortably long with a truly bold French manicure.
Times have changed
(hallelujah) and acrylics have evolved to gel, which is supposed to be
better for your own nail and a lot more flexible, and now we have Shellac, this is a nail polish with gel like finish still using the UV lamp.
I have tried them
all and love them at first but I get bored after about the third
trip to the salon! Honestly... I don't have the patience to sit for an hour (if she's
speedy) kinda like watching paint dry!
I stop going for a few months then Id return. Why!!! because my nails became weak and brittle and kept breaking.

As a result I've
always struggled with weak, flaky nails.
So about five
months ago I decided that WAS IT ...... my last trip to the
SALON!!!! I vowed to spend 30mim, every other day or so keeping my
nails looking good!
I have tried many nail treatments but recently I came
across a varnish by Sally Hansen, Powerful Acrylic Gel, (a coincidence maybe!!) that I bought in Portugal but hadn't used yet. Ive been using it for about a month now, on its own or as a base and it has defiantly made a difference,
from ten I only have three nails left with a flaky tip to grow out. My
nails are also a lot stronger too. The best I’ve ever used. I bought mine
in Portugal, at the Continente but I have seen them at Clicks in South
Africa and for my friends in the UK you can order it off Amazon.
Do you have any amazing nail solutions? Share them with me.....
