Has anyone else tried them yet? What was your opinion on them?

Nail Adhesives
I finally tried the nail sticker-like adhesives and can I just tell you how much I LOVE them! They are amazing.
The brand I tried was “Skinz”. They are really easy to apply. First you take a sticker from the pack.
Then you place the sticker on your toe and trim it to perfectly fit your nail. I used scissors (my cuticle scissors were too dull) and fingernail clippers.
Then you use…

How to Prevent Hang Nails
We’ve all had them, and we all hate them! Hangnails are pieces of skin that are still attached to the nail, either at the base or on the sides, and can be quite painful. There is one main culprit for hangnails: dry cuticles. Knowing that, it becomes easier to prevent hangnails from ever popping up. Here are some tips to keep your nails healthy and strong – hangnail free!

*Vitamin E can also be used to keep cuticles moisturized.
Here are a couple of other general tips to prevent hangnails. Don’t pick…
