I’ve been nail varnish free for nearly two weeks now…I cannot stand it; but I’m so determined to wear the YSL Duo Tone look that I realised I’d have to get my talons into some kind of shape first. They’re splitting, flaking, bendy and just generally miserable. So I’ve started on a B complex vitamin supplement (that is making my wee so luminescent that it probably would glow in the dark I might add – it’s a shock every time!), am applying Solar Oil at every given opportunity and keeping them well filed. But, the thing that has clearly made a difference already is Sally Hansen Miracle Cure that I picked up at Boots on a whim. It promises 50% stronger nails in 3days, to fill in cracks to strengthen, to instantly stop peeling, seal the nail plate and bond layers together.
In the week that I’ve used it, I would say it does live up to expectations. The peeling has not entirely stopped to be honest, but my nails feel more rigid, less soft and certainly they’ve grown more than they normally would in a week. While I was researching the product, I discovered that Sally Hansen have a new colour ranged designed by make up artist Carmindy; HD Shades, that uses liquid crystals for high shine. I really like the look of them, but so far they’re US only.
I’m definitely on my way to wearing the duo-tones!

Right I am off to Boots now then….I need this in my ‘beauty life’. Always want/need tips on how to get stronger nails. thanks.
If you aren’t already, use a glass/crystal file instead of a emery board =).
I’ll hopefully get a chance to see the HD polishes in a couple of months.
I got #14 Spectrum, #16 Laser from the HD range when I was in New York last month. They are just gorgeous and really reasonably priced. There was a really vibrant orange that was just amazing. But I couldn’t really see myself wearing it! I wrote about my haul here http://bit.ly/bMtdde
I only wish we could get them in the UK, they had lots of different Sally Hansen ranges/colours in the states.
I so need this! My nails used to be fine but meds have made them peel and break. I will try this! Thanks. 🙂
Totally sympathise on the B Complex glowing wee thing – took it for a fair while alongside a low carb diet and the nuclear glow always gave me the creeps a little!
I’ve just bought it for 10 quid, it had better work, lol!
Brilliant! Thank you sooo much, I’ve been stressing about my peeling talons for a while now – they just refuse to recover from acrylics. Am currently taking Cod Liver Oil tablets every day, and using OPI Nail Envy, and will also try this. Thank you! xxx
Those duo-tone nails look like HEAVEN! Do regular people like me with no skill use some kind of template for the tips? I hope the B-Complex works out for you – I swear it’s made mine 90 per cent better. I couldn’t grow them beyond the end of my fingers before but now they’re long(ish)!
