I thought i was mad.<br />I've always been super lucky with my nails - they're strong unless I do something really stupid like slam them in a car door (owwwww....)<br /><br />I feel super weird if i don't have a bit of length in my nails - though i'm considering for an experiment keeping them short as possible for a month (never tried this because of the skin thing) I might try your idea with an orange stick first though - the idea of scarping them sounds super painful.<br /><br />I'm so lazy with my hands - its really bad. I'm a freak with suncream (i'm half british and a goth living right under the hole in the ozone layer!) but other than that i really need to make an effort! <br /><br />Thanks so much for your lovely comments.Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987988793862313996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577289780737659771.post-80617351331729813532010-02-14T01:48:34.076+11:002010-02-14T01:48:34.076+11:00I didn't need a deep breath! They look healthy...I didn't need a deep breath! They look healthy and beautiful even naked. I don't think I've ever seen nails like yours anyway. So narrow and with such a long nail beds. Insane. They have quite a fascinating shape. <br /><br />As for skin under the nail growing beyond the finger tip, I have this on my index and pinkie and it looks like I have dirt too. He he. I see I'm not the only one. During year, I've had my nails super short (I really don't like having long nails) but since I grow them a bit longer than I used to, it occur. Beside gently pushing the excessive under skin with a wood stick to begin then progressively shorten them, there's few that can be done. If you shorten them, the skin will understand it's too invading. It's not uncontrolable. :P<br /><br />As for cuticles, I realize you don't need more than that to keep them beautiful and healthy: moiturize regularly, every day. At night, I apply a rich shea butter cream on naked nails. Moisturizing the nail also prevent from yellowness. But frankly, your nails are really not that yellow!-https://www.blogger.com/profile/05370511080126257447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577289780737659771.post-19759171655158767222010-02-11T16:15:33.273+11:002010-02-11T16:15:33.273+11:00Haha yeah - maybe I should make a blog post - &quo...Haha yeah - maybe I should make a blog post - "the perils of long nails!"<br /><br />I'll post if i try anything!Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987988793862313996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577289780737659771.post-63699883412289644872010-02-11T16:05:07.629+11:002010-02-11T16:05:07.629+11:00Oh darn.

But it also sounds like the skin under your nails is really delicate. Because your nails have stayed long, you probably haven't given the skin there to get thick as they're always protected by your nails. I think the only thing you can really do to reduce it would be to slowly cut your nails back. I don't how committed you are to that though. For me chopping off my nails is no big deal, I find the after i cut them, it's liberating. But I totally understand not enjoying short nails. Let me know how slowly getting some of that skin off works. I can see how letting it go too long could cause you some problems in the future.PerryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721837418656745984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577289780737659771.post-69381330082818344082010-02-11T15:10:55.548+11:002010-02-11T15:10:55.548+11:00Thanks hun!

I'll pop down the local beauty place and pick up some lotions and potions!<br /><br />Sometimes even filing my nails they can start to bleed. I think i've left it WAY too long. They've been like this since high school.Zoëhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987988793862313996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577289780737659771.post-10550714238534290812010-02-11T15:06:43.076+11:002010-02-11T15:06:43.076+11:00As to your cuticles.

About the skin under your nails, use something metalic and scrape them. I use an old pair of tweezers that aren't good for tweezing anything now. Try and make it even, not jagged to remove the skin from underneath. Most of that is probably dead skin at this point and after you've soaked them for a while, say after a shower, just go at it and scrape them out. But again, don't go overboard. If it hurts, stop. If it bleeds, sure as hell stop.PerryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721837418656745984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577289780737659771.post-31464710227403441422010-02-08T08:09:06.744+11:002010-02-08T08:09:06.744+11:00SO jealous!
