Home remedies for nail growth

Pterygium inversum unguis (PIU) occurs when the hyponychium attaches to the underside of the nail as it grows. It’s an uncommon condition, but it’s a common cause of skin overgrowth under the fingernail. Scientists don’t fully understand PIU. However, they do know it can be present from birth or acquired later.

Thyroid diseases such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism may cause brittle nails or splitting of the nail bed from the nail plate (onycholysis).

1. Take biotin. Biotin is an important type of B vitamin that allows the body to turn food into energy.

If the visible part of your fingernails becomes detached due to an injury, the nail will grow back on its own. But it will require some patience on your part.

If your nail polish is not drying quickly, you’ve likely just painted on too thick of a layer. You should only be applying thin layers at a time and let each one dry before applying another. Cold water can help, but be sure it isn’t a powerful flow or it could mess up your nail polish/varnish.

A good way to test if each coat has hardened and isn’t just dry to the touch is to touch two nails together quickly – if they feel tacky or you feel any resistance, they’re not ready to put another coat on top yet. Putting more polish on top of wet polish means the bottom layer will never harden.

A common question related to gel nails is, why isn’t my gel polish curing? The one most common reasons are that the gel polish is applied too thick. Thick layers of gel polish mean that the light that cures the polish has a hard job getting through each layer, so it ends up curing just the top layer.

The sticky residue that is left on the nail after curing is caused from the oxygen in the air near the upper layer of gel that doesn’t let the oligomers link together to cure properly which results in that sticky layer of uncured gel. It’s just a matter of oxygen. For example, when you apply ONE layer of gel, cure it.

After curing, your nails will feel tacky to the touch. Don’t worry, they are dry, it’s just that the gel polish has a tacky (also called inhibition) layer when it’s done curing. Use a lint free wipe with 91% alcohol to wipe off the tacky layer on top of the gel polish. Don’t be afraid to wipe the nail, it’s dry.
