That's what I was thinking too Lou!

My nails look a bit of a state too at the moment, been tidying the garden so a couple are a bit tatty & dirty, took off the remains of navy blue nail varnish (chipped doing the garden!) & I've painted the kitchen ceiling today so they have a sprinkling of 'Timeless' paint on them too! Must try the 'toothpaste' method Piskie! ;D
Congrats on getting the new client, your personality shines even if your nails don't!

People at work dont believe that I rarely wear gloves or perhaps they dont think I garden

Gosh I wish, I used to do ballet like her when I was a kid but there all similarities end.
I just have strong flexible nails that mean they rarely break/split.

remember bleach will degrade the protein in your nails and ake them even more brittle.
