I've been lurking here since March and wow have y'all helped me take better care of my hands and nails!

I used to cut my nails as short as I could get them, sometimes so short they even bled. I was a chronic picker who constantly ripped hangnails. And I was so dangerous to my poor PNF with cuticle nippers…😓

I didn't actually take pictures of my nails before I started caring for them because I was so embarrassed. Pictures 1 & 2 are my second attempt doing polish back in May. Picture 3 is from August. Picture 4 was yesterday.

Thank you all!
