CocoPerez reader Dawn asks of our celebrity nail correspondent:
Hi Leah,
I love my nails and recently I stupidly got gels. I took the gels off and ruined by nails!
Do you know how to help mend them?
Thanks
Dawn
Leah Light answers:
Hi Dawn,
I am afraid if any type of nail enhancements are taken off incorrectly it can be devastating to the nails underneath. The best thing you can do to get your nails looking good again would be to file them to a nice short easy to manage length and invest in a high quality nail oil like Jojoba oil or CND’s solar oil. Massage the oil into your nails and surrounding cuticles daily. (the more the better) within a few short weeks you should see your nails starting to look good again.
