More Tips for Nail Growth & Steel Nails

• Always wear gloves when washing dishes, because dish washing liquid is harsh and makes nails brittle and easy to break.
• Do not use your nails to open any jars, they will weaken and break!
• Never use your nails as tools, like to scrape anything during cleaning or to scratch anything hard.
• Apply a thin coat of clear breathable nail polish to further prevent breaking, I do this when I’m growing out my nails sometimes.
