An update on my nails (as the hair isn't doing much!)

It had been a fortnight since I met with Naomi at Natural Nails & Beauty (link in previous post) so it was time to go back and have fresh Vitagel on my nails, as since the original application my nails had grown around about 4mm at least.

In my opinion my nails definitely looked a lot healthier than they had prior to the application of Vitagel.  There are still a few little blemishes left from my acrylics but within a few more weeks they will have grown out.  As my nails were so thin, weak and flexible some had naturally broken so my nails were filed so they are all more of a similar length.  Still short but this is important to get them strong and healthy so they can grow longer.

It took a little longer than normal Gelish to soak off the Vitagel but after applying gentle heat things seemed to speed up.  This time Naomi applied the thinner layer of Vitagel but a more thicker layer to finish.  From the feel on my nails and in using my hands this feels much better than the several thinner layers of last time.  The Vitagel instantly makes my nails look a more healthy colour and in general their appearance is improved.

I hate naked nails - they make me sad :( so I always paint my nails.  I have to have naked/nude nails for work though.  I have today painted my nails with a colour I got this week by Opi.   Its called Pompeii Purple.  To be fair its not really purple at all and if I were naming it I would have called it Marvellous Magenta or Fantabulous Fushia.  But thats neither here nor there the colour is bright, fun and perfect for summer.  I am pasty white but this would look great with a tan.  I have quite a few Opi & Nails Inc products and colours so will perhaps talk about them next time.

I will also post a new update on how my hair growth is going next weekend.  My hair feels very dry at the moment.  Not sure if this is because of the weather, my blowdrying or products I am using but I have introduced a deep conditioner to my hair care regime now.  Again more about that on my next hair post.
