My nails are so brittle. They break so easily and look terrible even with a manicure. I feel so unlady like!!! I've thought about getting acrylics put on but I've heard that does a lot of damage to your nails. Is there anything that will help my nails get stronger and grow?

i got this tip years ago from a girl i worked with and it work, and is cheap! buy garlic cloves and clear nail polish. chop up the garlic (it should be fresh) and put as much as you can into the bottle of nail poliush- dump some of the nail polish out if that helps. Let it sit- marinate i guess- for a few days. Then paint the nail polish/garlic on your nails. it will smell faintly of garlic, which is why i put a layer of dark polish over it, but the garlic heals your nails and makes them grow crazy fast.

Fish oil is also really good for your skin, hair and nails.

Bad nails are normally a sign of poor nutrition. Protein, calcium and fish oil are fantastic for your nails and hair, and it could be that you are deficient in one of those essentials. Meat also contains the 8 essential amino acids which help the growth of nails, body function etc. etc. so it is great for you, soy also contains all 8 of these as well.

Either that, or do you have a job where your nails take a beating? I have fantastic nails but I am also a swimming instructor so if I have been working a bit too much, the chlorine strips them.

WEIRD TIP - if you add fresh chopped up garlic to your clear nail polish and use it daily - nails will get stronger - like way stronger. It smells really bad though. Also Develop 10 nail products also do a decent job but the garlic thing works fast.

Protein and Calcium are huge, but there's one thing on here people never mention or realize. Not only is it healthy for your body, but really helps nails and that's: FISH OIL. You don't have to eat it, but take Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fish Oil pills. It's an essential oil our bodies cannot make on our own and we can get through fish! Try it out!
