i gotta solution for us women. my fingernails have been growing longer and thicker lately-- and I found myself a nail buff kit. No more nailpolishes for me-- but I still want my nails too look half decent at work.
So I just buff buff them to a really nice shine- and file them nicely uniform. Nothing looks better than nicely buffed clean unstained fingernails on a naturally tanned hand! I dont let my fingernails grow too long since i need to type and also- Dr. Hulda Clark kinda turned me off to long fingernails after hearing how they are easy transmitters of parasite eggs. So mine are a comfy length.
when my hands are dry, i use olive oil on them- or that Badger Balm - which is made of olive and castor oil- and herbs- - with no other additives.
