Ive been doing more bracelets recently due to my inability to work for more than 6 hours because im pregnant and definitely DO NOT want to over do myself. ANYWAYS, recently my nails on my thumbs have been splitting in the middle and its gotten to the point where my doctor had to cut it down past the nail bed. i really enjoy doing bracelets, but I don’t want to ruin my nails. Any ideas or suggestions?

I have never heard of someone getting nail damage from doing bracelets before! How are you holding your strings? I hold my hand in a thumbs up position where the base string is held in my closed fingers and my knotting string goes around my thumb and then I use my other hand to pull my string through the loop and pull it tight. Otherwise you could try a nail hardener, Essie makes a nice one called millionails and I find it works great. Also, congrats on your pregnancy! I just had one of my own in November!
