Nail Fungus and Brittle Nails: Care & Repair Guide

Nail Fungus and Brittle Nails: Care & Repair Guide The chipped polish caught the light as I handed my card to the barista, a tiny crescent missing from my ring finger. No one else noticed, but I felt it anyway—the brittle snag waiting to catch on my sweater, the quiet worry that my nails were telling a story I didn’t want told.
