Thank you for this information! I have trouble with my nails breaking, peeling & being thin. I did not know about the difference in shaping or keeping my cuticles moisturized. I will be working on these things. Do you have suggestions on how I can keep polish on my nails? I will apply it & either later that day or the next day it is chipping off. (I do wear gloves when I wash the dishes.) I enjoy having my nails polished, but I haven't done that in a long time.

Great video, thanks for the information. I sometimes use coconut oil on my hands, and it seems to work well, but then I also seem to always forget to buy shea butter when I'm at a beauty store, Ulta is my preference, and with coconut oil I already use it for cooking so it's always around. I have my own little business as a gunsmith, so I'm always working with my hands and I can't wear gloves when I'm working for a variety of reasons, so anything that I can pick up to help keep my hands Fromm looking like a rancher's is good for me. As for polish, I don't know how readily available it is in Canada, but I switched from gel to powder dip and haven't looked back. My nails always look great, well, mostly, as the powder infuses vitamins and at the same time acts almost like an acrylic, so my nails even without anything on them, are now stronger than ever. As for round versus square, I like almond shaped nails, but between the two choices I'll pick round.

I was a round nail girl for years, but always fought with breakage. I have recently (last 6 months) been making a square nail. So far I'm pleased with the results of stronger tougher nails. The big test will be cool Illinois winter season. They are brutal on my hands and nails, even with oils and lotions, 2 to 4 times a day. My struggle with regular nail polish is getting it to last more than 4 days and the hubby can't stand the smell. Just recently I spilled white polish on my brown leather chair. Any suggestions on how to get it off. Remover did nothing.

Sometimes when I am cleaning with microfiber cloths, the material feels like it acts like it's sanding down my nail. it's very annoying! this mostly happens when the microfiber cloth is washed with fabric softener and one day I will rewash it and it dry it properly, but one thing at a time I guess, lol.

It's a tough habit to break but nice hands are very worth it. I wonder how you'd feel if you did get a manicure, maybe you would just love the look of your hands and try to keep them looking that way. Biting your nails is just a sign that you need to find another way to channel that nervous energy. I find that if I become aware of what is making me nervous, then the nervous reaction (e.g. nail biting) starts to dissipate.

I love taking care of my own nails. But, I love to go to a nail salon for my toes. I usually will get a mani at that point. I do not allow them to buff/file my nail surface. They do it to smooth the nails, but it ruins my nails. Even if I go and have gel put on for a special occasion I do not let them mess with the surface of my nails. They get a bit grumpy about it, but it does not bother me. When it is done it works out just fine for me. 🤗 My other thing is leaving nail polish on too long. Once it starts to chip remove it all. It really makes the nail surface start to get weak.

I have TWO huge problems with my nails 1) The thumb nails breaking on the side at the base of my nail which means no matter how long my nail is I have to cut the WHOLE nail off ... so frustrating because it takes time for them to grow. I make sure I put oil on them prior to washing my hair because that's 80% of the time when it happens. As I'm washing /conditioning my hair a piece of hair gets under my nail when I remove my hand from washing my hair and I feel it get caught in that little crack/Break at the base of my thumbnails .... hope this is not too long but if you have any suggestions so this can stop I'd greatly appreciate it! I do NOT go to the salon to get me nails done. 2) How can I make my nails more 'FLEXIBLE' so I'd they happen to hit or bend on something they won't automatically break (that's another issue I tend to deal with) Thank you #MelissaMaker

I've always loved rounded nails. They look feminine, lovely, and [who cares that it makes me sound old-fashioned! who really cares?! but...] lady-like. Never knew there was a rhyme or reason about which shape is more natural to your body... square or rounded. I'm going to have to think about that... Should my nails really be a little more squared off? Maybe they wouldn't tear as often. I always remember biting my nails. Mom scolded me; Grandma scolded me. Didn't matter. It wasn't until I started college that I was able to finally break the habit. Gram drove me nuts when she'd drum her fingernails on the table - I'd scold her ! . Then I grew out my nails and I could drum along with her too lol. Then we both got scolded ! What goes around, comes around. LOL I don't like that there's no way to have all 10 nails perfectly & evenly shaped. Even worse - paying the nail salon for imperfection! 'that's messed up!' Love the look of longer nails but I can't wear 'em. Interferes with typing (double the typos!) and feels like an ingrown nail. Hey - that's something I'd like to see in a vid - what makes fingernails tend to tear? How can I prevent that? Love your CMS vids - I'm addicted!
