Any tips or advice for nice nails?

You sound just like me. Doing my nails was almost therapeutic for me, it was me time, plus I could express myself; I loved my nails, nail art, etc. but unfortunately PSA has destroyed that for me, not just my dexterity but the physical condition of my nails. After I mourned the loss of my nails and got over the immense amount money on wasted nail polishes, accessories, and such, I invested in extremely nice press on nails. I read an article once about how JLo maintained her perfect manicures and it was high end press on nails. Then soon after I read another article last year (right after diagnosis) that Kim K had her press on nails brought to her at the Met Gala by another celeb from LA. It seemed like a viable option that I ever considered. So I found nice looking and durable press on nails at Sephora and Ulta, among other stores and almost a year later I wear them for 5-10 days at a time and get to change them up often. The cost evens out per use vs. my old overall nail budget and I get compliments all the time on my nails, they look just like gel nails and the nail art is great on them. I have about 5-10 packs at any given time ready to go. I pick them up on sale or when I have coupons, so I stock up on colors and sizes and shapes. Once I realized this is my new normal, I found a way to adjust to it. Good luck, there are more of us out there suffering in silence along side of you and understand.
