For as long as I can remember I have worn nail polish to protect and strengthen my soft peeling fingernails. When I was younger I wore bright reds and colors to match my outfit of the day. Then at some point I decided clear was more natural and went with everything.
I think I have tried every brand on the market and still my nails peeled and tore at the slightest provocation. Then the pandemic kept us all at home. I found I hadn't put on polish is a couple of weeks and my nails seemed a bit stronger. I continued to use cuticle remover every couple of weeks and noticed my cuticles too became healthier.
Could it mean the nail polish was actually harming my nails and preventing them being as strong as they could be naturally?
Well, 3 months later and NO more polish for me. I still keep a gentle emery board handy for nicks and edges getting TOO long! Ha-Ha never thought I'd be saying that.

PS: The only thing I am doing different is I have doubled my intake of Vitamin C to offset the stress of the pandemic and boost my immune system. Can't image this is what has caused such a quick improvement in the strength of my nails but maybe so.
