    My biggest tip for myself is to SLOW DOWN. Every single last one of my nail breaks has happened from me moving to erratically and quickly. Bump a nail and crack it, something slips from my hand and I break a nail, grab something wrong and there’s a crack, etc. Being mindful and slowing down has helped me reach longer and longer lengths.

    So glad you mentioned having brittle or soft nails! I see so many people get a nail hardener or strengthener and complain that it makes their nails worse and it's bc it's not for their nail type! Great tips 😊

    My day is made every time Raquel posts a video :) My nails were super long, maybe slightly shorter than what your's are now but I cut them because its summer here in SA and I'm doing a lot of gardening. So back to the beginning of the nail growth journey which I always enjoy. I totally miss my long nails but the beauty is that they always grow again. Super big hugs Raquel !!

    I've seen recently that some indie brands have an add-in that one can put into their acetone nail polish remover to make it more gentle and moisturizing.
    I work with my hands. When I do break a nail it's usually at work. I have been trying to be more mindful about the parts of my hands I am using to do certain tasks. I have also been trying to moisturize more often.
    Btw, I love your nails. Ive learned a lot from your videos!

    I have to thank you b/c ever since I started putting on a coat of polish/top coat almost every day and painting the free-edges and behind the nails (as you recommend), I finally after all these years of my life, have FINALLY been able to make my polish stay on for a month, even using natural polish and not using any gels or LED lamps etc.
    I've been using Nailtural by Sensationail. It is 16-Free meaning it doesn't contain 16 of the worst chemicals normally in polish. I absolutely love when I use it with their base and top coat too. Together they work amazing. Funnily, but I guess it's logical, my nails grow way stronger, longer and faster now that I'm using more natural polish on my nails. It is also vegan and cruelty free and affordable. Highly recommend. If you don't have that brand in your country, I recommend finding a brand where you live that has those qualities. I really love protecting the animals AND my nails. : )

    Two things I have to really think about with my long nails. 1 opening the car door, I dont know how many times I slip and either my nail brakes or bend. 2 washing dishes. I use glove but same as you I will at times bend my nails washing dishes. Over all I am careful and I never use my nail as tools. I also realize gell polish not good for my nails because I don't know why but I can have a regular polish manicure last 2week+. I know it would last longer then that, I just get bored with color so I will add a different color on top of my old color if I dont feel like doing a new manicure. But for some reason i cant get gel polish to last more then 2 days sometime I'll put it on in the morning but by dinner time I have a few that already popped off. Sometimes the gel polish takes the tip of my nail with it. So I learned gel polish is a no for me. Also find it relaxing to do my nail care routine while drinking my coffie every morning, it only take 10 min, but I got time. I put on a new coat of top coat straightener and use either a hydrating balm or oil on my cuticles I also use a vitamin c or double strength retinol repair serum, I take turns on using those. Then I end with hand cream. I litterly take care of my nails and hands like I do my face. But I enjoy it and its relaxing.

    The amount of years and exposures to water it would take to degrade the nail, your nails would be regrown many times over. So this should only be a concern to those with extreme length nails (think longer than 2 feet)
    The reason that soaking our nails is so “bad” is because we usually have our nails soaking in harsh chemicals like dish soap, laundry detergent, etc. lotion or oil helps with that, and nails can withstand it far better than skin.
    Peeling, brittleness or excessive flexibility all tend to be more influenced my diet more than anything. Many think they’re diet is balanced, but that’s usually not totally the case

    Let me get this straight...you put a fresh coat of polish on every day? So you don’t use a top coat?

      She puts on a fresh coat of top coat every day or every other day.

      Rachel Evans Thanks I thought of that about 10 seconds after I hit send LOL I tend to think of polish being something with color and the topcoat and bottom coat separate. My bad!
