Hi,

I’m a longtime time lurker of nails subreddits and have been having multiple issues with my nails. Last year I tried dip powder (big mistake) and got a bit of a fungal infection which cleared up but my nails haven’t been the same since.

Since September last year, when I last used gel polish, I have been growing my nails out naturally and not using any gel/dip/acrylics on them which have made them very strong after being really weak/flaky. I have on occasion used normal nail polish (Sally Hansen or Essie). And after using nail polish I sometimes get yellowing around sides of the nail and dry/flaky skin under a couple of nails.

I have recently used Essie polish and only had it on for 2 days, after taking it off I saw these lines under my nails.

Feeling a little defeated by all this, just want my nails to look nice again.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thank you!
