Nails: natural or not?

I love mint green polish. Your nails look great, M_was_here!

How do you make nails stronger? I can’t grow my nails at all. I prefer shorter nails but they just chip so fast. =/

Thanks! I love mint/turquoise/jade colors so I had to have this. The shade is Jade by Chanel. And I find my nails stay the strongest when I keep them painted. They are so prone to chipping/peeling/cracking when I dont. I paint my nails weekly or so and I always use a base coat and finish w/ 2 different types of top coats. I also rub almond oil into my bare nails and cuticles. I’m anemic so I have to eat prescription-strength iron so I guess that may help too?

I’ve stayed away from mint polish, thinking it wouldn’t look right…but it looks lovely on you, M. I think I might try it out as well one of these days. Right now, I’m more into french, red (especially glittery reds).

Thanks, RV! And I’m ALWAYS into reds too! This green polish was a few weeks ago. In fact, I have Real Red by Avon on my nails now (saw it in a video on Youtube and fell in LOVE!) and it’s a gorgeous color! Excuse my bad lighting:

And great tip on the DIY scrub, I’ll def. give that a try!
