Hello lovelies! I’ve been spending past couple of months trying to grow my nails to almond shape and getting over a flu plus yet another kidney infection (pyelonephritis). I feel like the whole family has taken turns being sick for the past three months. After everyone is healthy again the round starts from the beginning. Now that I have mostly recovered from the kidney infection the kids are snotty and have fever again. Fun times!
Good news is I have finally managed to grow some length to my nails. I’m still growing them to almond shape to avoid breaking corners off and losing all the length every time. Though I guess now the risk is breaking the tip of the nail off and losing all the length. I already had a nightmare that I broke a nail. I was very relieved to wake up with all my nails still there :D I will probably start going towards the square shape after a while but for now this is a way to go.
I’ve managed to grow out the index and middle finger nubbins to a decent length. I broke the ring finger nail a while ago but it’s also growing back nicely. This photo was taken about a week and a half ago and I have since filed my nails to a little more narrow and sharper shape. I’m quite happy with the way they look now. I feel like I’m finally ready to take some nails photos :)
I’m still using the CND Rescue RXx and Bliss Kiss Pure Nail Oil together and the results are amazing. No peeling at all! I’ve also found a new hand cream that works wonders from my super dry hands but I’ll write a post about that later on.
Now I’m off to paint my nails and take some nails photos. It’s been a while.
These are growing beautifully! I need to find a shape that works on me and doesn’t break. It’s been driving me bonkers.
Thanks! Yeah, breaking a nail is so frustrating. I always feel like I have to take all the length off of others too or not take photos until the broken one grows back. This shape is working great for me right now. Remains to be seen what happens when they get longer.
Your nails look great! You’re getting great results from your oils.
Thank you! Those two oils work really great together. I feel like CND isn’t quite moisturizing enough and can harden my cuticles a bit but it helps keeping my nails from peeling. Bliss Kiss is my HG nail oil and it moisturizes like no other :)
Your nails are growing wonderfully! I used to have my nails in that shape last year.
Thanks! I’m really happy with the growth right now. Still hoping to get them to a square shape sooner than later :)
Wow! Your nails look fantastic!
Thank you :)
