How can you girls function with long nails.

I had the day off today. I was bored while waiting for it to be time to pick up my daughter. So I put a nail tip on my index finger and trimmed it so that it was just to the end of my finger.  I found it nearly impossible to text. I tried with the tip of the nail and it didn't work reliable. I had to use the finger print area of my finger to text, which made me make more fat finger mistakes than  usual. I guess you would have to retrain your brain to do things differently. I had to do that after my left wrist was fused. I took a while for my brain to realize that it doesn't bend there anymore. Now I hardly notice it.  It is so much easier to paint a nail that extends to the end of your finger. You can seal the free edge with out painting the skin on the end of your finger. If I can ever get my nails to grow with out peeling. I want them to grow out a little bit.

  1. My nails aren't as long as some of the ladies, but I tell you what's most annoying: TOUCH SCREENS. My Android doesn't recognize my nails tapping on it, so I have to hold my finger sideways to text. Blah.

  5. I've heard great things about Nail Envy... also L.A. Colors Hardener/Strengthener. It's blue and I get it from the Dollar Tree. It works great for a lot of things!
