Hello, I have “normal toes and toenails” but u don’t like the depth of my toenail… is it possible to have my nail bed lengthened? So there’s more nail and less skin to look at? My feet don’t look nice after iv had a pedicure because there’s such little nail to be painted. I want a deeper nail without it going over my toe which is what iv had to do in the past to achieve that look!

Unfortunately there are very few solutions for deformed toenails or other problems like thickness or discoloratoin. Your 'matrix' or the row of cells behind your cuticle that grow the nail plate are set with your geneitcs. The only way to have more nail real estate is to push back your cuticle weekly like they do at the nail salons.
