When people see my nails, they usually think they are fake or I have tips on. I’m one of those people who cannot function with fake nails. My nails have not always been strong and long, I had to put in the effort to grow them.
Gel Manicures
When I started getting manicures my nails would break often but I was consistent and eventually, they started growing without breaking or chipping when the manicure was done right.
Dip Powder Manicures
I used to get Gel manicures until when my nail technician suggested dip powder. It is more expensive than Gel but it last longer. My Gel manicures usually chip after about a week, especially when I do a lot of house chores. The first time I tried dip powder manicure, my nails lasted for 3 weeks before it chipped once. I’m never going back to gel manicures.
Say No to Acrylic Nails
Though beautiful and appealing, acrylic nails tend to weaken and damage your real nails over time. If you really want to grow your real nails, stay away from acrylic nails.

Stop Using Your Nails As A Tool
Some of us use our nails for everything like it’s some sort of machine. It’s a tool alright, but the more you use it and apply pressure on it, it tends to wear off and break easily, hence be gentle people.
