Beauty By Josi: Stronger nails in 1 week? YES....

I am the supplement QUEEN.  I swear, if I added up all the money I have spent the last 5 years on vitamins I probably could've bought that Chloe bag a long time ago...but really, vitamins have made a HUGE difference in my nails....I mean, I don't have "long" nails but my naturally strong "squa-ovals" are fine by me!

BUT for the last few months my usually strong nails have been increasingly weak....flaking and peeling like paper...my usual basecoats and topcoats weren't working and my manicures lasted like 3 days max! Wasssup? Well ding-dong finally noticed the other day that she has been using ACETONE polish remover for over a month now...DOH!!!! And any beauty pro worth her salt knows that a girl should always use NON-ACETONE polish remover to maintain nail integrity.

SO last trip to Wallie's I picked up this....Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps Acrylic Gel and started using it about a week ago...2 coats as a base and then 1 over my nail color....WOW! That, combined with Non-Acetone polish remover and my nails are no longer doing that peeling thing..and I can paint them and expect it to last ...FINALLY!

If your nails are weak and wimpy like mine...try it out ya'll! It's under $6 bucks and is available at your local grocery and drugstores....

Be Beautiful...

Thanks!! I'm always looking for anyTHING that will help my manicures last longer. Another good product to try is the Healthy Hoof Nail Lacquer (I think thats the name of it). I use it as a top coat, it lasts pretty long and has a high gloss.

I'm with you. Not only am I The Supplement Queen but The Nutrition Queen and I still have nails of the jester. I have to give this a try. Thanks.

I've tried this, and it was OK, but if you're willing to spend $6.50 instead, Nail-Aid's grow tougher works wonderfully well without the nasty solvents and DBP.
