No, I'm not talking about Amy Winehouse...I'm talking about nail rehab. The dry spell we've been going through here has really taken a toll on my nails and cuticles, and my hands are due for some special treatment. Therefore, I've decided to take action - I've decided not to use remover until my polish starts to chip. I'll most likely be posting every day because of my propensity for layering, but even if I don't, I will post at least every other day. I'm also going to start using Nutra Nail's Nail Thickener with Green Tea, which I bought yesterday, as a base coat in the hopes that it will stop my nails from breaking. Hopefully, this "nail rehab" will result in you having to look at less frazzled cuticles and nubbins. :) For the first day of my regimen (ha), I decided to go for a natural look. I used two coats of the Nutra Nail base coat and one thin coat of OPI Catch the Garter (to hide staining).

Though I normally hate looking at my own bare nails, it's actually kind of refreshing to see them on their own. I'm sure I'll be beyond ready to put something on top of them by the end of the day, but I've enjoyed my faux-bare nails so far.
What do you do to combat winter dryness? Product recommendations are appreciated!
