no products, just pain

Probably needs some foam or tissue but it's a pretty good size!

Thank you for all the love on my last post! The last pics I posted were after I washed my hands so my nails looked a little more translucent. Here's a closer up pic & a look at my right hand with the broken pointer.. rip.. Does anyone have recommendations for nail strengtheners that don't cause yellowing? No products used!

I broke both thumbs and my pointer but otherwise things are going well.. no products used- sometimes cuticle oil but not often recently!

I received my lion heads about a week ago from yellowplumflower on Etsy. I let them rest for about 48 hours upon receiving them, and I brush before and after handling, but I've only handled them two or three times without a glove for about 20 minutes at a time because I have very sweaty hands LOL. Anybody have any advice or face a similar issue? I would love to bring them out with me, but even just sitting in bed my palms get sweaty.

Brand new to this hobby! Just ordered these Beijing Eight-Ridges Lion Heads and a brush set from Yellowplumflower on Etsy. I was going to buy a cheaper pair from Vietantique, but I saw a video saying that you may as well go for a little pricier set as you'll be putting so much time into them. I also like that these are pre-cleaned because I'd be worried about scratching the surface with a wire brush. I'm glad I read the detailed description, because I never would've known to air-dry in the shade in toilet paper for 1 week before handling. I thought this information might be helpful to some people who are thinking of starting this hobby! I can't wait to receive them.
