Se da tu kaj storit? Sicer malce pomaga, če nanesem nadlak pod noht še posebej po tuširanju, ko je v normalnem stanju ampak ne za dolgo. :/<br />Druge oblike nohtov pa nočem met... Upam, da najdem kdaj rešitev za to. :/Ivanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883071024407150235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196563539360722265.post-25124516299971099362011-06-07T17:55:22.489+02:002011-06-07T17:55:22.489+02:00Great info....I am using my nails as a tool all th...Great info....I am using my nails as a tool all the time....I should definitely stop doing it, but it is so easy to open things with your nails!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196563539360722265.post-43489059985897780822011-06-07T17:54:14.258+02:002011-06-07T17:54:14.258+02:00Thanks for the great tips (no pun intended)!
I wo...Thanks for the great tips (no pun intended)!<br /><br />I would also like to add a couple of my own if it's OK with you. :-)<br /><br />My nails used to always break as soon as they got any length to them, and I could bend them all the way back. Here are the things I've done differently, and now they're long, supple and rock-hard:<br /><br />1) I stopped buffing. Unless your nails are very thick and can withstand the loss of layers, you should not buff. All buffing does is remove layers of nail plate, leaving the nail thinner and weaker.<br /><br />2) I stopped wearing artificial nails. No matter how fancy or how skillfully applied, fake nails of all kinds (tips, acrylics, gels, etc.) always end up damaging and weakening the nail - creating a vicious cycle where you're forced to keep wearing fake nails to cover the damage.<br /><br />3) I stopped soaking my nails for extended periods. I used to *live* in the bath. I still take my bubble baths, but now I steep with my hands out of the water. I also wear gloves to wash dishes.<br /><br />4) I made a point of always having four layers minimum of protection on my nails at ALL times - base coat, 2 or more coats of polish, and topcoat. Polish is like armor for the nails. And it is absolutely not true that nails have to "breathe". I have checked with dermatologists and been reassured that the nail plate has absolutely no use for oxygen or fresh air of any kind because it is dead keratin. The nail bed does need oxygen, but gets it from the blood supply feeding it.<br /><br />5) I started filing my nails rounded. Sharp corners, or even slightly squoval ones, had a tendency to snap off, snag, crack, etc. An engineer will explain why rounded nails are the hardiest: "The arc (think: circle) is the strongest structural shape... The reason being is that stress is distributed equally along the arc instead of concentrating at any one point."<br /><br />My two cents! :-)Janinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196563539360722265.post-6177832932922326912011-06-07T17:53:15.435+02:002011-06-07T17:53:15.435+02:00Thank you for the post.

What shall I do to escape this problem? I have been looking for the answer for many ears. They say that this problem is connected with moistening, but I use moisturizing base coat, cuticle oil and hand cream every day and problem is not solved.<br />Thanks a lot for the answer and for your blog, of course.pchelka217https://www.blogger.com/profile/08672131529074700573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196563539360722265.post-75994840115916287692011-06-07T17:33:24.308+02:002011-06-07T17:33:24.308+02:00Super info that I can definitely use!Super info that I can definitely use!over40productqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861609021013105743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196563539360722265.post-66510246212380523832011-06-07T17:23:49.950+02:002011-06-07T17:23:49.950+02:00Very helpful!
