And here's a picture of my nails I took about 10 minutes ago. This is with my full regimine of Dermelect, as well as a quick-dry topcoat. I also have on Mango Mend, as I find I'm using that stuff like crazy now.
I think they look tons better, but I'm also ready for them to be longer already. I have absolutely no patience, so this process is becoming difficult for me. Yesteday, I actually considered putting on a set of glue-ons. It was fleeting as I realized I didn't want to take any steps back.
This is with almost 2 weeks of Dermelect, Nail Nutrition, and Mango Mend. The Dermelect products are the Launchpad basecoat (green), the Makeover ridgefiller (pink), and their High Maintenance top coat. I also use a thin quick dry coat, Beauty Secrets, over the HMTC to prevent bubbling. However, I've found that if the ridgefiller is too thick, you'll get bubbles no matter what. Also, there is no color on my nails in the picture. That's strictly from the ridgefiller. It's a pretty shimmer pink, so it acts as a concealer as well as a ridgefiller. Most ridgefillers I've tried have been thick and white, so this is a nice change. I love that I don't have to wear a color unless I want to.
I'm using Sally Hansen Nail Nutrition several times a day to help encourage growth, but the Dermelect is what helping them look healthier.
Also, the other day in my comments section, I mentioned my mother's damaged nails. She is so impressed by the results I'm getting with this combo, that she is considering buying Dermelect products, depending on my final results.
I'll keep updating on my progress as I go along. I'm hoping by Christmas, I'll be able to sport some polish. If you are interested in my products, Dermelect is available on their website. Mango Mend is available at Sally Beauty and Nail Nutrition can be picked up at just about any drugstore or big box.
