Need guidance…
Sorry i cant provide any pictures,but ill try to be as clear as possible.
I’ve finally reached a huge goal and stopped a long-term biting habit! I used a series of acrylics and rubber base sets from December until now to grow them out.
I recently moved to bare nails, but I’m struggling with how flexible they feel. They bend very easily and I’ve had three snaps despite using a clear strengthener.
For those who have successfully transitioned to natural nails after long-term enhancements, what products or filing techniques do you recommend to add artificial structure while the natural nail plate thickens back up? I'm trying to avoid a relapse, so any tips on keeping them 'stiff' enough to not bend would be appreciated!
feel free to ask if i wasnt clear enough,im willing to get as much guidance as possible :)
