nails

Take calcium. I actually don't know if that works now, but I don't have that problem because when my mother was pregnant with us, she'd take those chewable calcium tabs everyday, that's why our bones, nails and teeth are strong. But just try it. If it doesn't work, perhaps you're not meant to grow long fingernails.

Garlic works really well to harden your nails, the backside though is that they smell! so do it only at night at least once a week. Poke your nail into a garlic and I swear it makes it a lot harder. However, if you don't like that LOL, try using hardening nail polish, Sally Hansen has some.. I have really long nails now and I used to have the same problem as yours, what I do is I simply put colorless nail polish on my nails, it makes it harder already :)

First of all you need to wear plastic gloves whenever washing dishes or when your hands are in too much water. Second a good top coat is a key ingredient to keeping them strong and not be brittle. Also they need to be clean underneath and cuticles need to be pushed back and tidy. . .and last if you can drink a packet of Knox Nutra Mix, It has biotin and Gelatin which promote healthy nail growth base by acting at the base of the nail matrix where the growth begins. Not the easiest thing to drink but you can poice it up a bit. . .best part of it .. is the beautiful nails you will have in just a few weeks. . not only will they be beautiful but they will be as strong as anox!
