Nailing it!

At the start of the year I posted about how using household bleach had ruined my already brittle, peeling, dry, flaky nails, to what I thought was the point of no return.
This is the state they were in way back then:

And four months on, this is how they look now:

I am so proud of them. This is genuinely the healthiest my nails have ever looked!

I believe it's wholly down to rubbing on Nu-Nale cream on my nails everytime I use nail polish remover, and using OPI Nail Envy every other day when I'm not wearing nail polish, or using it as a base coat to my base coat if I am.

When I'm in work, I'm constantly rubbing hand cream, a random Avon nail oil, and Sally Hanson Maximum Growth Serum over my hands and cuticles so that may well be contributing to the health of my nails also, but it's from the above products I've started to see a vast improvement!

OPI Nail Envy is available from Amazon.co.uk for around £8, an Nu-Nale cream is available from Boots for around £3.60\

It's safe to say OPI'm a convert. 

Rimmel 14 day nail rescue - the results!

So today was the day I removed my the treatment from my poor broken nails.

And the verdict is: it's okay. To be fair, some of my nails look a lot better than they did originally. Some of them look exactly the same.

To hand it to Rimmel, the treatment was up against talon disaster. I've started using OPI Nail Envy today - will that stand up to the test? We'll soon (in 14 days) find out!

These are the "after" pictures for the Rimmel 14 Day Nail Rescue... I'm going to be lazy and double them up as the "before" pictures for the OPI Nail Envy treatment. If anyone can suggest anything else to help them I would be most grateful!
