I'm in healthcare too (though not full time, I'm an EMT), and I am careful to daily moisturize my cuticle area with both balm and oil. It has made a difference not only with peels but also with hangnails. I hear good things about Rejuvacote as a base coat, and I can also attest that Qtica NNGS is great, though it is a little salty at $20 a bottle.Shieldmaiden96https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851226357758301372.post-41770060004265804492012-01-14T07:03:43.077-10:002012-01-14T07:03:43.077-10:00I hope it works for you.

I wonder if it would be less since I don't want any extensions? I just don't feel that comfortable asking. I watched some youtube videos and it doesn't look harder than painting your nails.Guy Polish (Jim)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142271738123563293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851226357758301372.post-50837686543334358482012-01-14T02:34:51.328-10:002012-01-14T02:34:51.328-10:00Oh and a good hand and cuticle cream or oil might ...Oh and a good hand and cuticle cream or oil might be worth trying too, since peels are apparently because of dry dehydrated nails xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895168426108624572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851226357758301372.post-73027450216887906292012-01-14T02:33:37.523-10:002012-01-14T02:33:37.523-10:00I have the same problem, Jim, and I think mine is ...I have the same problem, Jim, and I think mine is due to frequently washing my hands and having them in water for long periods of time too. Over Christmas I had some calcium soak off gel extensions on and when I took them off my nails underneath were so much longer and stronger. I am going to try using the gel sealer without the tips to see if it helps prevent my peelies so I'll let you know how I get on xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895168426108624572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851226357758301372.post-40513983882385545702012-01-13T21:17:53.504-10:002012-01-13T21:17:53.504-10:00I tried the Nailtiques first.

Nailtiques makes good stuff too and you can find it at Walgreens, which is a plus, but it's a little pricey. Light buffing can really help the peelies. For me having my nails polished 24-7 is helpful too, even if it's just a clear coat that I throw on quickly. Also, keeping up on moisturizing, especially in the winter, really helps! I use hand cream after most times I wash my hands and cuticle balm 3-4 times a day and I've had great results. Good luck!7bridgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790935935466289267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851226357758301372.post-19085969965980744062012-01-13T16:19:11.847-10:002012-01-13T16:19:11.847-10:00I haven't seen a swatch of Santorum.
