Most people who use nail polish regularly only have it off overnight at most, so how do you go about moisturising the nails? Thanks so much for all the help so far.

I think the glue that you use to stick them on helps grow your under nail. However, when taking the nails off you can break the under nail as it is will become more softer. There is this new product called Frenchie you can buy it in local drugstores or at your local asda or tesco. Its a clear liquid oil that helps get away any cuts beside your nails from biting. It also keeps nails strong so they have more of a chance to grow. It also smells of marzipan. Hope this helps some people out.

I waited a while to get them put back on which I did last Friday. I now have large white areas that start at the top of my nail, and the skin is puling away from the nail bed. I am SICK over it and SO afraid that I might have a major issue on my hands. I am going to the nail place today to show them. WHAT DO I DO FOR THIS? I put some extra virgin coconut oil under the nails praying that it will help. I have gone to them for a long timw without any problem, and I have taken my nails off by myself quite a few times. I have bad arthritis in my hands and the nails make them look a little better and distracts from the ugly appearance of my knarled fingers. Please, please offer some advice. Thanks!

Commercial soap with the glycerin removed will dry out your hands. A "mild" hand wash is likely to be made of detergents and is probably not better than real soap. Even when my hands are in and out of my soapy water all day I don't have to use lotion. Using good bar soap (the real kind with the glycerin intact) will not dry out your hands.
