I have thin, weak, generally crappy fingernails. So every 3 weeks I go see my nail tech and have acrylic and gel put on over my own natural nails. Gives me the strength I naturally lack and makes my nails look awesome.

Take silica tablets.
They with make your nails and hair stronger. I also use a nail harder every few days, and the let my nails "breathe" every sunday (without anything on them).
Silica? Wow- is that a vitamin supplement you get and where?Originally Posted by jackie

Would you consider getting a gel overlay? Gel nails aren't as damaging as acrylic and look great! They're very tough, too. You don't have to get them long, either. Just tell them that you want it over your natural nail. The downside is that you have to go every 3-4 weeks to get them redone.

I use the vaseline as well. My nails break in this cold weather we are having now, as soon as I touch the car or the mail box.
I never liked using polish too much work to put it on, wait for the fast drying stuff to dry. Then it chips right away. And the color never goes with what I am wearing today, it went with yesterday's outfit. Sigh. So I gave up on that.
I can shape them, like you said. And I use a buffer now and then to get a shine.
But the vaseline, that did the trick for me!

Silica??? Really?? I use silica with my clay work and have always been told not to breathe it in, because it is bad for you!Originally Posted by jackie
I wonder if it is the same?!![]()
As for weak nails, I too have the same problem. I have the acrylic nails put over my nails too. They look pretty and it keeps me from biting my cuiticlesa very bad habit, I know!
I was once told by a doctor to take pre natel vitamins for better nails! Never tried it, but if you do look at the nails of a pregnant woman they do have fantastic nails!!

The best my nails ever where was when I was on prenatal vitamins when I was pregnant.. Good point! But now I am not supposed to take high powered womans vitamins- I only take calcium and b complex..Originally Posted by Catsnclay
OPI has a great... and I mean great product! I can't remember the name, but if you find a salon that carries OPI they should be able to help you out. I used it before my wedding. I went from stubs to pretty nails in just a few months. It completely took care of peeling/bending that leaves my nails the way they normally look.

Sally Hansen's Maximum Growth works really well. You put a coat on per day for a week, then take it off and start over. It strengthens them alot and helps them grow. I've used it for many years and swear by the stuff. Now it comes in clear and colors.

I'll be on the sales floor helping the sales people, then going to people's homes and helping them pick out furniture, lamps, accessories, etc. I am so excited, especially since I've never done residentail design fulltime before (did it part time just out of college, then "fell" into office design a few years later.)
