Mine do that sometimes as well. I had a manicure done a few weeks ago (before my friend's wedding) and asked the girl about it. She said the main reason nails peel is because of poor diet and/or being generally unwell or run down. Does this sound applicable to you aep?
I'm sure there are other reasons such as fungal infections etc, but that would be more noticeable because the nails discolour as well (I think? Very limited knowledge on the subject of nail fungus :)).

My diet has been pretty shit as of late, coffee and starchy foods. Not so rich in things I actually need. I didn't even make the connection, thanks :)

You're right a fungal infection would cause discoloring, I've seen some gnarly photos of infections before.
 
My nails look shit right now. Since going off my multivitamins they have gone so brittle and chipping. And i have been too lazy to up keep the nail hardener, plus i am run down. So they're all short again :( Ah well, they'll grow back soon enough.


:(
 
I am going to do the shatter for my next pedi.

I told the gal about the Shellac mani and how it took about 6 weeks from my nails to stop peeling like onions. She suggested OPI Nail Envy. http://x.opi.com/trNenvy.asp
 
I would be so up for a girly spa-type weekend. <3

I have bought myself a couple of scoopon vouchers - i now have 4 manicures, 4 pedicures, some waxing, a conditioning treatment for my hair & blow wave, 2 x 1 hour massages and 2 x facials all at my disposal...and all for $69 :D I have a couple of weddings and parties coming up so i'm going to make good use of the get-cutening ;)

I love pampering treatments such as these, however i can't really justify paying full-price for them - which is why websites like scoopon and deals.com.au are so good :D

I've been taking a pre-conception supplement on top of my usual multi-vitamin (it contains extra folic acid and iodine) and one thing i've noticed is that the extra iodine has made my hair grow so much and has helped my skin and nails... I researched and it's apparently the iodine that really helps with this kind of thing.

I finally ventured to the nail supply I mentioned earlier, today. It definitely was not what I was expecting, it was more geared towards acrylic nails and salon equipment, but they did carry OPI's for $3.75. Their selection was okay, but nothing like the nail p0rn I was expecting.

I ended up getting I'm Not Really A Waitress, You Don't Know Jacques and Here Today Aragon Tomorrow because they were colors I had been looking at for a while.

This is sort of an old news trend, but I gave myself an ombre manicure today, and I love the way it turned out. I started with OPI No Spain No Gain and China Glaze Evening Seduction and blended them for the mid tones.

Nice work! I like the colour purchases.

My husband has to pick up supplies at Cosmoprof so he usually picks out a nail colour for me.
I requested bright and from OPI Texas Collection.
 
Wow the manicure turned out really well queenbee!! Love it :)

I purchased this off etsy yesterday, I hope it's as nice as it looks. It's made with shea butter and peppermint oil :)

Not Really A Waitress is my favorite OPI color ever, queenbee :)

I'm typing too much to properly do my nails, but tomorrow I'm heading to the salon for a cut and color. I'm going to have long layers of strawberry blonde hair and I'm super excited about that. :)
 
$25 Zoya Intimate Collection today only! Code is ZOYAWD

also they're going to be announcing another big promo in the next couple weeks and warned that you need to have an account with them to participate. <3 zoya
 
^^ I did this too!! It really is a great deal, especially with the free shipping!

I'm not sure why the pic is so huge but this is a brush set I bought from Crown Brushes off of Hautelook yesterday. It retails for $38 US and I got it for $14 plus shipping. It's just a travel set but I really, really, needed new brushes.

^Me too!

Though yesterday I did spend 3 hours at the salon and the strawberry blonde came out more like this (work safe):

I went EEK because I wanted more like Nicole Kidman's color! But everyone who has seen it says it looks perfect with my pasty winter skin. We had to put 2 rounds of toner into it because my hair is so porous. Then the stylist gave me a great long-layered haircut (just past my shoulders with the shortest being in the back and on the sides).

Pics forthcoming. It's definitely a change for me. I look and feel totally different as a redhead. When spring comes, I'll be putting some drastic golden blonde highlights into it, I think.

ohai girly twin! :D i was *so* close to purchasing that brush set too, but i've been spending sooo much on girly stuff lately that i had to pass. :(

my women's day promo is already in shipping, i'm so looking forward to getting caitlin on my nailsies. :)
 
^ I really wanted the bigger set that had maroon/raspberry colored handles and carrying case but it kept being put on hold and then finally sold out :p

I think this set will be great though because I really only use about 4 or 5 brushes anyway.

Our St. Patrick's Day parade is on Saturday, so I'm gearing up to paint my nails with OPI's Jade Is The New Black :D
