  • I am thinking it is pretty dam hard for a lot of moms with bubs and youngens to have perfectly nice nails. Constantly washing etc etc takes it’s toll.

  • I’ve never been good at painting my nails and I tend to bite my nails. I recently tried Jamberry and whenever I have my jamberry nail wraps on, it stops me biting them and they look great.

  • I used to have nails, lovely nails. Since becoming a mother, they’re just terrible. I try and try and try. Painting them is a waste of time because I’m always chipping or washing the polish away. Once in a blue moon I treat myself, or for a special occasion. I envy beautiful nails and long for the days when I had them.

  • I have just resigned myself to never having perfect nails. I bite mine too much anyway! But I do think using a cotton bud with a little bit of nail polish remover to clean up the edges also works well.

  • Sounds easy and the nails look great – gotta have nails in the first place though.

  • My friend and I had our nails done like this by someone professionally using this ‘tip’ and we both commented how dreadful they came out.

  • Can anyone tell me why my top coat is bubbling and shrinking my nail varnish underneath? At first I thought that it was a faulty varnish or top coat but I have swapped them over and it is happening all the time now?
