Samantha,

Cristine loves the Unt basecoat. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. As long as it’s gently removed by pushing from the cuticle line to the tip, since that’s the direction of growth…. I’m not sure if it will work for me because my nails are so thin, and even a little pressure with an orange wood stick can do damage. ~Ana

My thought process goes around it being formulated to not cause damage, otherwise it wouldn’t get so much hype. I guess I’ll find out sooner or later lol.

Melissa,

I’m so sorry…didn’t mean to cause crying. 🙁 I understand how frustrating it is. It’s really important to remove the polish with the first chip, or fill in the chip with the polish and then do another layer of topcoat to seal it in. I hope that helps! ~Ana

Hi Steph,

No, when polish pops off on it’s own, it’s because the polish to nail bond has been broken by water or oil. It’s when we continue to pick at polish that’s still bonded that it does this kind of damage. ~Ana

However, this picture is definitely very motivating to stay aware. I’m glad you mentioned that ridges are healthy … as a nail art newbie I initially thought they were a problem. I tried buffing and experienced the nail weakness you describe and then realised it was better to leave them be, so I use a ridge filling base coat instead now. Thanks for all the excellent nail care advice. 🙂

But every now and then I have polish pop off the whole nail vs just chipping. Is this damaging it the same? I found that the polish had detached mostly and it just popped off.

I’ve Been trying so hard to get my nails long and healthy and then I do the peeling and picking thing. Please tell me how to fix them?
