My fingernails take a lot of abuse, thanks to my career of choice. Between hammering away at my computer keyboard for hours on end, and testing oodles of nailpolish, it's no wonder they're usually frail and peeling into multiple layers. (Gross!) Finally, I had to put the kibosh on nailpolish of any kind, and instead asked my manicurist at <a href="http://dovespa.ca/" target="_blank">Dove Spa</a> (<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/08/11/editors-pick-dove-spa/" target="_blank">read my review of Dove Spa here</a>) to help me nurse them back to health. After a decadent paraffin treatment and a polish-free clean-up, they're looking miraculously strong, long and—amazingly—confined to one layer only.
