I've always had weak nails, they don't snap, they can just be peeled off & bend, almost as thin as paper. As you can tell I wasn't quite blessed with nice strong nails. My cuticles are always dry & I get a lot of those side cuts that sting, ouch! I can paint them with an undercoat & overcoat & the nail varnish will just peel off. So being slightly sick of having to have horrid nails I've decided to give them a full make over. So I popped into Superdrug & bought these to get me on my way.
exhibit A: nails under treatment arrest! They're thin & discoloured (p.s it's not dirt under my nails, it's fake tan!).
exhibit B: nail saviors
Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps - it's supposed to 'instantly seal & harden your nails with a breakthrough patented formula which provides a long-lasting surface' - Sounds good!
Ms.Manicure Clip, Snip & Away! - a handy pack of wooden cuticle sticks, a nail clipper, mini 6-way nail buffer & a lovely smelling had cream.
Glenis Baptiste nail polish corrector pen - says it all really! I'm not the best nail painter, specially with my nails, never looks fantastically tidy.
Soon I will have nails as stunning as these Lacquerized. Next on my list is a good cuticle remover, I keep forgetting to look when I'm in Boots! Will let you know how I get on.
To give you something pretty to look at after my disgusting nails, here are some cupcake candles I fell for from Laura Ashley

@tugba the lemon butter cuticle cream? that's the only thing I've found, not sure it's the remover. But I hated the smell so don't think I could buy it! =/ xx
those cupcake candles are too cute! do they smell like amazing-cupcakeness as well? haha :)
agh i've just given up on my nails =/

Good luck on your nail mission! I am lucky in that I have long, sturdy nails for the most part. But my nails often go thin and peel in half - I find that if I paint them with nail varnish and leave it on for a few days, they always feel more strong afterwards! xox
Awww those candles are the cutest!
Good luck with your nail project! If I can give you one advice, it would be to wear nail polish (with a base coat to protect your nails, of course!). Nail polish protects your nails, and it's really this advice that cured my nails (I had the same problem as you before).
I have crap nails too, but I think it's because I bit them from the age of 3 - 18! I've also got natural fault lines in my thumb nails, so they will break after a certain length, no matter what!
Good luck improving your nail health! x
The cupcake candles look amazing - I haven't been to Laura Ashley in months, shall have to go shopping and pop in! x
my nails grow really long but break of soo easily!! AND OMG those cupcake candles look good enough to eat - yum yum x
Love those cupcake candles?Are they from the metro centre Laura Ashley?If you don`t mind sharing :) can`t find them on the website :(Also I follow your twitter and noticed your tweet about how much your skin has improved.I`d love to be able to wear just face and body and powder!It would be great to see a blog post on how you got it looking so good :)I just came across your blog but I`m loving it x
@pinkswoon yup, they're from the metrocentre one, on one of the middle stands. I was planning on doing a skincare routine post very soon =) xx
Thank you :)I will look out for both the candles and the post x
Haha, I gave my friend one of those cupcake candles once. I think the one I gave her was a bit too realistic though, I found out a few days afterwards she'd taken a bite out of it. Don't think I'll be buying her another one!
