I know dry, winter air can be a problem but I really think it was the remover since they have never peeled before.
They already look better with a few days of being moisturized twice daily. I need a new strategy for keeping them healthy while keeping them painted. I miss my colors!
Here is a pic of my poor nails. I am trying to keep them short while they grow out.

I've noticed that one of the keys to keeping my nails in good condition is to always moisturize immediately after using remover. Usually what I do is take off the old polish, apply a generous amount of cuticle cream to the entire cuticle & nail bed area, and don a pair of cotton jeweler's gloves. Then I hop onto tPF for half an hour to let it soak in! (^(oo)^)
As a bonus, when I remove the gloves, my cuticles are soft and easy to be push back. Then I swab down the nail beds with rubbing alcohol to remove the excess oil and apply my new manicure.
I finally painted them today after three days. No sun today but will post pics when it comes out as I have on Nfu Oh# 62.
