DIY Acrylic Nail Fill

Hey you guys. During this crazy pandemic, I decided to keep my distance and save money by doing my own acrylic nail fills. I’ve also picked up an SNS Dip Powder kit to do my teenage daughters nails. Unfortunately my natural nails are just too thin, and need the extra strength of Acrylic. I do love the dip powder for it’s ease, but the acrylic always holds up better for me.

If you’re interested in doing your own acrylic nail fills at home, here’s a video that takes you through the steps. I include a few helpful tips to avoid frustration and acrylic mess on the cuticle.

Stay well. 🙂 – Stacy

The Beauty of Biotin

A few years back I stumbled on an article about the benefits of biotin for your fingernails. I’ve always had extremely thin nails that just don’t grow much beyond my finger tip. Although I was skeptical, I wanted to give biotin a shot to see if myself if it actually improved my nails. I was pleasantly surprised that it not only improved my nails, but my hair was longer and healthier than it had been in years.

Biotin, a B complex vitamin, not only strengthens hair and nails, it also supports the metabolism, helps regulate blood sugar, lowers cholesterol and improves the health of your skin. It’s definitely worth giving it a try.

This is the brand I use.
