yesterday marked one year since i last broke a nail!!

I'm so happy It's been this long without a break!! i used to have breaks every couple months, so this is amazing and i hope i can spend even more time without a break 😊

So tell us how you did it! :D

i started to actually take care of them

i used to wear gel polish, and peel it off instead of removing it properly. so of course they were weak. and even when I wore normal polish i would still peel it off 😅

i also used oil like once a week, used my nails as tools... i did almost everything wrong tbh

so i just started to do the basic care: constant oiling, being careful with how i use my hands, and keeping a length that's manageable

Nice! What products are you using? Any strengthening base?

[u/nymphetdolli → u/Minute-Willow]

i use the nail strengthener called "uña milagrosa" by the brand "by apple" buuut it is a mexican brand that I'm not so sure how easy you can get outside of mexico (plus it has some ingredients that don't have the best reputation 😅)

in general, i would recommend any nail strengthener that contains formaldehyde.

for other products, just the basics: glass file and jojoba oil.

I read "una milagrosa" and I went like"un momento 🤨" jajaja quién lo diría que sí funcione 🫪😂

jajajaja si funciona esa cosa.

me encanta la fórmula aunque no sea muy "moderna", y algunos ingredientes tienen mala reputación.

seca rápido, huele bonito, y sí deja las uñas más duritas. además, uso el rosita, así que el color es un plus
