Actually the last 2 times I swapped polishes, I didn't have any new peelies, just damage from old ones growing out. I did get some Growing Nails with Garlic, but I'm trying to use up my DL Hard Rock first.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637338061516372026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290924660769853533.post-64838230174212843122011-08-15T21:05:01.218-04:002011-08-15T21:05:01.218-04:00pretty :) take vitamins!

I used it before with NailTek II underneath and my nails turned to complete garbage. That's when I switched to Seche Rebuild and Instant Artificials. I'd drop Gelous like a hot potato. Instant Artificials will give you the same strength and thickness without the peely problem. I've also been using that Growing Nails with Garlic stuff from Sally's with pretty good luck as well! :-)Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318699539875115927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290924660769853533.post-40076742866074981692011-08-15T20:15:10.926-04:002011-08-15T20:15:10.926-04:00Best to listen to Courtney on this one.

At this point I'm trying to keep them from getting worse while growing out the peelies. I've been using Gelous too, to give me some strength while I treat them.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637338061516372026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290924660769853533.post-63051105072846831262011-08-15T19:28:50.923-04:002011-08-15T19:28:50.923-04:00Hey Dana!

I used it underneath my regular base coat (Instant Artificials from Sally's - another product I highly recommend). After about a month, I noticed my peelies were significantly better. The only bad part is that it kind of worked too well and made my nails a little brittle. I switched to Seche Recondition under Instant Artificials to solve that problem. I still get the occasional peely nail, but it's not nearly as bad as it was before. :-)Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318699539875115927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290924660769853533.post-35568719026496668182011-08-15T11:43:06.341-04:002011-08-15T11:43:06.341-04:00hey jessie - i'm a friend of courtney's......hey jessie - i'm a friend of courtney's...i love the blog!! i have the same problem with peely/weak nails since i paint mine a lot. do you guys have any tips for what to do for that?DanaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798251015161850282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290924660769853533.post-51754556160939941812011-08-14T21:10:21.681-04:002011-08-14T21:10:21.681-04:00hahaha - is that a holy crap on my Shellac Fail or...hahaha - is that a holy crap on my Shellac Fail or in the good way on the color?Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637338061516372026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290924660769853533.post-7322645782928148222011-08-14T18:19:51.951-04:002011-08-14T18:19:51.951-04:00Holy crap.
