wobbly
i had a walk round the places that sell this sort of stuff yesterday and quite frankly, i'm as clueless now as when I started. an astojunding range of stuff, that makes all sorts of claims and a range of prices from the just about affordable to the OMG - how much.
Now bearing in mind my usual stop for nail stuff is the pound shop (the pound shop, there's only one here) but if i'm going to try to keep these things longer than a small child's bitten nails and wear it next to the nail, I was thinking I might want to go for something better quality as a base coat. and somthing that does protect my nails and maybee actually does some of the strengthening stuff claimed (although i'm really wary that harder = more brittle). and something that won't flake off after 5 mins. and chip when i try to type.
so do any of these products actually do what they say, and are they better than the pound shop special and if they are, can someone recommend something that won't break the bank. cause i don't do makeup. don't really do jewelery much. nails are sort of becoming my one girly indulgence and i want to have nice ones (until my lasses paint them all the colours of the small girls' rainbow dreams again)
and do i want cuticle oil or a cream?
what normally goes on my hands is superdrug's own brand e45 that I use loads of on my dry scaly feet. but i've really only recently broken the habit of chewing at my cuticles when stressed, so they grow loads of hard dry skin. and i've got some nasty callus on the side of a couple of fingers. that dries out really fast and then hurts. what is likely to be best to soften my manky cuticles?
over to you and thanks for any help.
