Apparently short nails are a fashion statement now as opposed to a thing that just happens because you work with your hands too much and your thyroid is underactive - uh, I mean they’re totally short because I AM A CONFIDENT WOMAN. But I’ve always envied women with naturally long nails, and enjoy looking at other people’s professionally manicured nails.
I used to have long nails because they actually grew. I used to like decorating my nails and such. But then my nails suddenly kept breaking even at short lengths, bleeding. I try to keep them trimmed so they don’t painfully break but they’re so fragile, easily bend, and are just brittle. I’ve been on supplements for a decade and nothing seems to help :/
You just need to eat more hair for the keratin. Have you ever seen a cat with weak nails? Thought so.
I use argan oil and a base protective coat of nail polish to keep my nails protected and hydrated. Helps strengthen them!
