After artificial nails or intensive filing, nails may become thinner and brittle. A new coating does not remove the cause.
Where to start?
Discuss gentle removal and a break from artificial nails with the specialist. Do not cut protective cuticles.
When to see a specialist?
If changes persist or cause concern, consult a dermatologist.
