Nails checked ✔️ 💅

From personal experience, I noticed that frequent use of nail extensions, especially acrylics, can severely weaken your natural nails. The adhesive and physical removal process can strip away layers of the nail, causing them to become thin, brittle, and prone to splitting. To help my nails recover, I started using acetone carefully for polish removal—choosing products with around 68% concentration like Sally Hansen Nail Polish Remover to avoid excessive drying. It’s important not to soak nails in acetone for too long as it can further dry out skin and nails. In addition, I adopted a nail care routine involving moisturization and strengthening treatments, using cuticle oils and nail hardeners regularly. Taking breaks between extensions is crucial to allow nails to breathe and rebuild naturally. When feeling hungry and a bit tired—as I often do during nail care—I find comfort in simple meals like ramen noodles, which help maintain energy while dedicating time to self-care. Overall, while nail extensions can be beautiful and fun, paying attention to nail health and proper aftercare is key to preventing damage and maintaining nail strength and appearance.
