In fact, it's been a very long time since I've had those "fake" nails put on, but I'm feeling that "tight" and strong feeling on the end of my fingers that I got when I had those fake things applied.
When I clipped my nails last night (I like them short now with the yard-work and piano-playing) I clipped them OUTSIDE...because the "CLIP" sound is so much sharper, and the clippings now go flying! I'd rather them "fly" outside into the yard! lol
Definitely stronger, AND thicker! (I started Iodine on 1/26/07)
I also had a very deep ridge in one of my toenails, which is now no longer there.
The ridge in my thumbnail was much deeper. It has lessened...and with this new growth, I can tell that it's lessening AGAIN!
