When my nails are a mess I go glittery.
I hate it when my nails seem to all break off at the same time. Or even better two or three nails from each hand! This happens every few months and I have to start over. I clip everything down and plaster the nubs with glitter. It’s become my standard response to jazzing up a stubbie manicure. I glitter-fy what ever is left beyond reason.
But I always grab a fun glitter to drown my nails in. Today’s pick is Silver Sparkle by L’oreal.
I used a base coat, two coats of Silver Sparkle, and a top coat. I could have done a third coat of glitter to make the finish more opaque but I’m happy with the way it looks. I hope my nubs grow QUICK. I picked this up from Bed Bath & Beyond (Harmon’s beauty section) for around $5.
What do you do when your nails are a mess?

I’m also a glitter fan for when my nails are a mess, but my nails never really seem to grow very well so I’m almost always wearing glitter :-).

I wish I could make my nails grow faster when they are this short!

I’ve been taking Biotin daily, and it has completely transformed my nails. They’re strong and they grow quickly, which they NEVER did before. I bought my bottle at Costco for $12, but I’m sure they have it at a local drugstore.
BTW – I think your nails look lovely.

When My Nail are a mess I just clip them really short…… as short as they can go and then I put the Dior cuticle cream on in the evening I swear that stuff works magic! My Nails and Hair grow like weeds anyway within a few days they are already quite a bit longer. If you eat a lot of protein they grow fast.

That Dior creme sounds great!
Monica says
I agree on the Dior creme. It’s the best cuticle treatment I’ve ever tried. When my nails are a mess I go short and paint them a neutral color.

I just cut them, buff em since they’re usually brittle and start painting. lol
I love glitter polishes or shimmery ones so it’s an almost every day thing for me.
