For those who do not know, my nails peel like crazy, always have. I work in a hospital, washing my hands or using hand sanitizer constantly which does not help, in fact it has made them worst. Out of desperation I started painting my nail to protect them, and after may different products and countless hours of watching YouTube reviews and reading different reviews, I have found few things that work great for me.
The big 2 items that I cannot live without is Nailtiques Formula 2 which I got from Walgreens for less than $20 and I use it as my base coat ever time I paint my nails, or alone if I do not have time. It took about 6-8 weeks to notice a change but it is worth the wait.
The next item is my Czech Glass/Crystal nail files, I love them so much that I have started to sell them. They are wonderful and so gentle on my nails. I would notice my nails would peel worst when I would use an emery board to file my nails. I think the thing I like most is, if I notice the shape of one of my nails does not look right to me I can file my nails and the polish will not chip off. I just re apply another coat of top coat and cap my nail (paint the free edge with polish) and I am good to go.
I have 3 different sizes for you to chose from; a 3 1/2″ size, I keep one in my wallet for $7.00. The second size is 5 1/4″ for $8.00, which I have in my manicure supplies on my desk and the third one is in a hard case that measures 5″ for $11.00 which would be perfect for your purse. These files can be sterilized, they are known not to loose their grit, but can break if you misuse or drop on a hard surface. I have 3 different post, each post is for a different size, sorry, I am new to this and did not want to use EBay, Amazon, or Etsy just yet. Shipping is free in the U.S., and if you need them shipped internationally I can let you know the cost.
