How my bare nails are doing

After the whitening gel debacle I had to buff my nails because the way it was chipping and flaking off totally wrecked them! I had layers that ripped and peeled off with it. You can still see the dents and scratches from it, awful.

Since then I've chopped off most of the stained nail parts and I have also switched basecoats. I am trying Nail Life Gripper Basecoat and it's been all right so far. I don't know if it's helped prevent new staining or not but it is nice to see non orange fingernails for once lol. Sometimes I think my new basecoat makes my polish chip sooner, but then the next color I wear it lasts fine. So perhaps it's all in my mind. I used to wear Seche Base and Seche Clear for my basecoats. I think I wore those for 10 months straight. Venturing out and trying a new bc is quite adventurous for me!

This was taken just a few days ago with only the Nail Life basecoat on. They look like each nail is a different length and all weird, but they are all the same! Well my pinky is a tiny bit shorter, but once I put on polish it's all even. Like an optical illusion.

Have a great day.
