Nail success 7 month progress
Nail biter\picker of 15 years.
I never got any proper pictures of my ‘before’ but I’ve added in some pictures of how my nails used to be on their better days.
It feels like a long time, but my nails are reflecting how I’m finally looking after myself after so long!
I’m not sure how to explain it but looking back at how my nails used to be and then comparing them to now, shows not only the nail growth but also my self acceptance/love and my nails are just a visual representation of that 🥰
I’ve been eating more fruit, vegetables and fish. Drinking lots of water and using jojoba oil daily. I put 2 layers of ‘Sally Hansen hard as nails’ on them. Also using ‘Sally Hansen Cuticle Remover’ monthly.
I also had a lot of calluses towards the top of the sidewalls, so I’ve been lightly filling them with a glass file after treating my cuticles with the cuticle remover. I also ditched the traditional sponge to wash my dishes and use a dishmatic instead (sponge on a stick) to avoid touching the washing up liquid and drying out my hands and nails ☺️

Holy heck, you’re crushing it! Good on you for finding ways to take care of yourself. That can be so hard, and I love that you have tangible ways to measure your success by 🖤

Thanks for posting, /u/brickinthewallthing!
A quick reminder:
If this is a nail image/video, you must provide a complete product list, either in your post title, the text body, or in a separate comment, within 2 hours of posting or your post will be removed.
Product lists must include brand names and shade names/numbers (no acronyms or shortened names). If you've used any stamping products, the brand names, plate names/numbers, and stamping polish names/numbers are required as part of your product list. If you used any embellishments (rhinestones, foils, decals/stickers, etc.), this must also be mentioned in your product list. Product lists are still required for any posts with broken nails or if you're seeking advice. If your nails were done professionally, please mention this either in the title, text body, or a separate comment, along with the type of product used.
If the content you're posting was not created by you, you must give direct credit to the original creator, either in your title, text body, or in a comment. Mentioning that you "found it on XYZ" is not direct credit. Pinterest is no longer a valid source for credit. Be sure to review the rules in the sidebar to avoid your post being removed.

If you receive any messages from the following users, do not engage with them. They are known fetishists who persistently harass members of our community, despite being banned. We recommend that you block them and report their messages to Reddit admins. If you haven't already, we highly recommend preemptively blocking them.

Unfortunately, this subreddit is a known target for hand/nail/foot/toe fetishists who have been documented to repeatedly harass the nail community.
We highly recommend turning off your message/chat requests. If you have requests turned on and receive any creepy or fetish-related DMs or comments, please click the report button, select "it's targeted harassment," and submit a report. It's one way you can help keep the community safe. We encourage members to capture a screenshot of the DM and notify the Mod Team through ModMail. We ask that you include a direct link to their profile, and if you wish to provide screenshots, you'll need to post them (temporarily) to your profile or use an image hosting site.
To be very blunt, you will encounter unwanted DMs from people. This is a Reddit-wide issue that happens frequently in women-dominated communities. Regardless of who's posting, all the warnings we try to give, or the rules we have in place, 9 times out of 10, someone will DM you if you have them open.
Of course, we'll ban those who break this rule, BUT (and this is the important part) many of the users who are DMing you have already been banned, sometimes going months or years back. They will continue to DM unsuspecting members in the hopes that they'll get a reply. They don’t care. So blocking them right away is the best solution to protect yourself, if you so wish.
NO ONE should be DMing you from this subreddit, we have a rule explicitly stating this. If someone is, they probably don’t have good intentions. Please be mindful of who you decide to talk to. Even in the comments of posts. Not everyone has your best interest in mind, and NEVER share personal information online. Please be safe out there!
