No I don't. You've not been online lately.

I picked up some Revlon emory boards after work, along with some nail strengthener stuff. It's not the one you recommended. I knew it was a name, but couldn't remember what it was, so I just asked the lady in the cosmetics department. She looked at my kind of funny, but that's okay. Suffer for your art and all.

Anyway, it's supposed to be good and has vitamins and stuff. Sadly I broke a nail today and ended up just trimming them down; the plan is to let them grow back a bit and then file them to the proper shape.

The cosmetics lady said something about clipping your nails with a straight edge to make them stronger? I didn't really understand what she meant. I can't have square nails. I mean, for one it would look funny, but even if it didn't I need some kind of a point to give me something to pluck the string with. It doesn't have to be like able-to-cause-puncture-wounds pointed, but at least sort of rounded.

Does anyone (Medusa) know anything about that?
