Hi Lynn. I just read your post. I’m sorry that you can’t get a salon manicure. Have you ever heard of Jamberry? They are vinyl wraps that you can apply yourself. I can give you my website so you can check it out.

You would probably need to research a way to get a manicure that didn't use almond oil and then call your local salons to see if they use that process.

Since my nails disintegrated completely the one and only time I ever put nail polish on them, I have never done a manicure nor pedicure. I just consider it doomed without bothering to try.
