I was going to open an eyeliner that came sealed in the plastic wrapper and as soon as I started digging at it to rip it off with my nails, I stopped and thought my nails should not be used as tools. LOL You&#39;re awesome - ThanksSidnac Glitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15711926217911612506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-59514170723047143412009-10-11T20:13:37.581+02:002009-10-11T20:13:37.581+02:00I agree that being mindful of how you use your nails on a daily basis is so important... probably just as important as any product you paint on them. I have become a lot less spastic lol, as I avoid bumping and catching them on different surfaces. I definitely use a butter knife to open soda cans these days.<br /><br />I used to think going a day with totally bare nails would be good for them somehow but it&#39;s actually a terrible idea. When I don&#39;t have any polish on, I can feel my nails get so soft in the shower and bend in directions they really shouldn&#39;t :( <br /><br />Thanks for all your great advice Julia!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-1188763950358121542009-06-10T20:25:19.131+02:002009-06-10T20:25:19.131+02:00Hey Julia!<br /><br />Thanks or sharing these tips! A few tips I found around to help breakage are these two. <br />1: Dont overfile the corners of your nails, this prevents weakening of the corners, which are vulnerable anyway.<br />2: Buff your nails only once a month. Just 2 seconds buffing and 3 seconds polishing. Easy peasy, in less then a minute per months ealty looking nails :)<br /><br />Thanks again for all your tips and tricks!<br /><br />Greeties :)Silviahttp://www.youtube.com/user/Silvinka82noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-14688838255394032342009-06-08T19:08:10.215+02:002009-06-08T19:08:10.215+02:00Thanks alot for this post, Julia !<br /><br />I noticed, as you said, that even just one day without something on my nails was getting them breakable. So I always wear nail polish ;-).Hélènehttp://www.monblogdefille.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-34239718679860808402009-06-07T07:28:05.631+02:002009-06-07T07:28:05.631+02:00A great thing to do to protect your nails from water is, obviously, wear gloves. However, how many of us are going to take the time to do that. I started using my dish time as a treatment- I put a drop of olive oil on each cuticle and rub some into my hands, then put rubber dish washing gloves on. The oil softens and moisturizes, plus olive oil is loaded w/ anti-oxidants. Not to mention the fact that it makes me want to put those gloves on!Jessica Allisonhttp://www.ouinapout.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-70019588236815243812009-06-03T19:00:11.573+02:002009-06-03T19:00:11.573+02:00Nail Tek Foundation II and Intensive Therapy II helped me to grow healthy nails within 1 month (I started when you made a video on youtube about receiving an order with polishes from America). I genetically have very week soft nails. But this stuff worked! Apart of everything you mentioned, I do wear gloves at home, also at work - but I must say that it seemes to be also the problem for nails, cause latex and sweating harms nails.tigra1411http://tigra1411.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-47538688137901750922009-06-01T09:09:30.494+02:002009-06-01T09:09:30.494+02:00Thank you Julia. I love my nails and I always get them to a certain lenght and I break them. Looking at tips I now know what I have been doing wrong.

Thank you for sharing Julia. I have square filed my nails as I believe they are stronger this way but I've encountered problems with my nails catching on clothing and my hubby. I am obviously doing something wrong! Your nails look extremely square in your pics. Do you encounter these problems or do you file your nails in a square oval manner? (I hope you don't think this question is silly!)

I've personally found that short nails with colour or clear strengthener are the way to go. I've been using the Seche Vite topcoat since you recommended it a while back and now I can't do without it. Something I've found helpful for smooth hands and cuticles is to include my hands in my body scrub routine. I tend to need less handcream if I do this. <br /><br />SallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18937399.post-14368795871671725372009-05-31T06:55:47.944+02:002009-05-31T06:55:47.944+02:00My nails are horrible .. now that I read your article.
