Sometimes, you DO need the vitamins (4 month progress)

Hey all, sharing my nail growth journey with you all to spread some hope and motivation! This is from November 2025 to earlier this week March 2026.

My nail journey started in 2019 with nails even shorter than what I started out with in November of 2025 (pictured here). Like many of you, I started with Simplynailogical’s video of how to make your nails grow. Since then, I’m a well oiled girl with perpetually polished nails (we don’t shower naked in this house)! One thing stuck with me in that video, and I’m sure it stuck with many of you, is that there isn’t a simple quick fix oral supplement to make your nails grow. And she’s right! There’s not! Nails are basically dead skin cells and nothing is going to make your skin cells die any faster.

*however*

I am living proof that sometimes, you absolutely do need to “ingest drugs into your body” to help your body produce stronger nails. For YEARS!!! YEARS!!! I have been trying to grow out my nails!!! Finally I start taking a multivitamin and just LOOK at the difference!!! I wish I would have listened to my momma earlier, she’s always been trying to get me to take my vitamins.

PLEASE consult with your doctor before also ingesting things into your body! I’m just a girl who should have listened to her mom years ago.
