Does Nail Polish Make Nails Softer?

Scientific studies show that nail polish hardens into a protective polymer film, which can make nails feel firmer while worn. However, many people—including our community—notice that once polish is removed, nails can feel softer or weaker. This sensation is real: nails covered for long periods are shielded from air and moisture exchange, and when polish is stripped away, the natural nail may feel more delicate.

Why This Happens

• Barrier effect: Polish blocks natural hydration exchange. Moisture from the body is trapped, but external oils and air contact are reduced.

• Removal stress: Harsh removers (especially acetone) strip natural oils, leaving nails dehydrated.

• Recovery phase: After polish is removed, nails may feel softer or thinner until they re-balance moisture and oils.

Do you know??

Sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction. In September 1945, on a small farm in Fruita, Colorado, a farmer named Lloyd Olsen was preparing chickens for dinner. With a swift swing of his axe, he thought he had ended the life of one bird. But instead of collapsing, the chicken staggered to its feet and began walking around.

The farmer and his family were stunned. By the next morning, the bird was still alive, clucking faintly and trying to peck the ground. Lloyd realised that his axe had missed the jugular vein and left most of the brain stem intact. Against all odds, the chicken’s basic functions — balance, breathing, even attempts at feeding — were still working.

The family named him Mike, and soon, Mike became more than just a farm curiosity. Lloyd began feeding him with an eyedropper, carefully giving him grain and water directly…

We are truly grateful for the continuous support from our valued customers in Singapore and the United Kingdom.

To our existing customers- thank you for returning to us and placing your trust in our services once again, your loyalty means so much.

To our new customers- we are delighted to welcome you and we do our utmost to support you.

Most importantly, we deeply appreciate that our long-standing customers choose to come back and that new customers feel happy to join us.

Used to growing together across borders with trust and care at the heart of everything we do. ❤️

The Koyeed Team.

We’re truly sorry to have to make this change, but we’ve encountered repeated situations where customers placed orders without completing payment, missed appointments multiple times, or cancelled after we had already packed and prepared their items. Our team spent time processing these orders and waiting for collections that didn’t happen — often with no notice. It’s disheartening, and it affects our ability to serve everyone fairly.

To protect our team’s time and ensure smoother operations, we’ve made the difficult decision to require payment in advance before booking a collection appointment. For Singapore customers, we’ll be using PayNow and PayLah! to keep things simple and secure. We hope for your understanding — this change isn’t about being strict, but about respecting the effort behind every order. Thank you for walking this journey with us 💖.

The Koyeed Team

As sellers, we strive to be the first responders — ready to support, serve, and ensure every customer receives the care they deserve. We prepare ahead, reserve time, and stay responsive, all in the name of good service.

However, when customers confirm appointments and fail to show up…  

When they haven’t paid yet, yet expect product collection to remain a priority…  

When they reschedule only after the original time has passed, or even request cancellations after committing to the order…

It becomes deeply discouraging.

We’re trying our best to support every customer — yet each deal brings only a small margin. What truly drains us is the time wasted and the emotional toll of repeated decommitments. It’s not just about money — it’s about the growing concern over consumer behaviour and basic responsibility.

During this trip back in Singapore, I discovered a few good things, Jack’s Place.

The usual restaurants in Singapore malls often rush through their existing customers to finish their meals quickly, so that more customers can come in and have their meals. Sometimes, customers queuing outside the restaurant’s main entrance look inside to check on the seated customers having their meals and to see if any tables will become available soon. Their eyes carry the meaning of hoping to spot someone’s table that is about to finish their meal and is ready to leave, so that they can secure the table soon. I was never able to enjoy my meals in that type of environment. But I discovered Jack’s Place this time.

Jack’s Place is the place to go to enjoy my meal comfortably and nice food. With some unplanned events, I went for meals at Jack’s Place 5 times…

This news came in the morning.

I have been walking around the Bugis area for a few days and found that people are wearing Croc shoes with the platform feature - I would call them Platform Croc Shoes.

The fashion now has changed to a more bulky look than the fashion in the past. I personally wouldn't wear that, probably due to the age difference, I guess. Called me old fashion! :)

In addition, I also saw people wearing that with socks. I keep wondering if it is about protecting toes or if some people have sweaty feet. Is it easy to walk? Or to avoid rain. If it is to prevent rain, then they should not wear it with socks. Still wondering of the practicality of this design…
