Nailing it - and a resolution update...

Back in February of this year I decided it was time to act on one of my New Year's resolutions and get my nails attended to.  They had become very dry, were peeling and breaking sometimes, down past the quick!  Since I use my nails as tools, it was high time to address the issue -I mean, my goodness, this had been going on since before last May...
 I know it might be hard to see in this photo, but take my word for it, they were looking rough.  I was using every over-the-counter thing I could think of, and was having zero success.
But 2 months into using the topical nail solution the derm prescribed and I feel like they might well recover!  In fact, in celebration, I painted them, just in time to visit my mother today (: 
No, they aren't long - yet.  But they will get where I want them to be.  And that's one item I can cross of my list!  It's almost April and I feel good about what I have been working on.  And the bonus to that is that I am taking better care of my hair, too, and starting to focus a teensy bit more on ME and what it takes to feel better.
What about you?  Are you still working on New Year's resolutions?

What gorgeous nails now! I use mine as tools too so I know exactly what you mean. I never thought to ask my dorm about my nails. Great idea.
