[I am still oxox]

I have powder over gel nails, 90% are fine so far except the two pointers, both nails are lifting and the wear is showing. I am waiting for a nail drill from Amazon along with nail powers and a set of  Perfect formula polishes.

It might be mid June before I can physically get to a salon

Wish me luck

@I am still oxox   I do wish you luck! Ever done this before? Mine are my short natural nails, but all the hand washing has really dried out the cuticles and given me "things" to pick at.

I feel for you! I was just thinking the other day about all the gals who have acrylics, gels, etc. Mine are natural now and I cut them down but I remember what it was like when they would lift and catch on everything! Hope your new equipment helps you maintain!!

@I am still oxox   Let me know how it goes. 🌸

I'm just letting mine grow out.  I've been getting the powder, too. 

About a month ago, my nail guy showed me a liquid that could be used in place of the powder, but said I'd have to remove what I had in place, that only required fills. I said no, but once he opens again ( if he does), I'll try this new product

@Shanus  I've been using Wen nourishing cream and Beekman body cream and my hands are better now than before. Oh, I also use goat's milk soap for hand washing and bathing. I think all those products make a big difference plus i enjoy them

Thanks for the recommendation @KJPA.

I have found that I must do my own manicures at home now.  I don't have gel nails or any particular coating.  Like hair, I wish I could go to a salon and soon!

Fortunate that I had my own nails and regular polish when this all hit. Easy to maintain on my own. Keeping up on my feet, too. No polish needed.

Not looking too good.  I go every 2 weeks and last had them done 3 1/2 weeks ago.  Last week I tried doing them myself and it looked okay at first.  But now they are getting too long again and the polish is chipping.

I used to get nail wraps and have been getting powder and glue to keep the strong and great looking.

I've been going to the same manicurist for over 25 years and miss going seeing her other regulars.  We would have a great time and I've become friends with some of them.

I wonder when or if we will ever be able to return.  Will her shop survive?
