i started growing really long and strong nails. ive never ever had long nails like that...and i used to bite my nails really bad. what i started doing is painting them...and then letting them grow...not biting them because i love when my nails look pretty and polished. so i have been growing them out with the nail polish. at first they are long and brittle so i kept filing them down to a good length to polish and then paint them again. then they grow and they get stronger. maybe you should just try that.

omg i used to get upset too! mine were so brittle...then it feels weird when they bend when youre doing stuff...that grosses me out...but thats why i kept filing them down because i wasnt happy with the brittle nails..then they grew out and they were really strong...idk if that was the thing...but it happened.
