My nails are so weak and gross they look so bad I have tried everything except for pills. I won't do pills unless the doctors want me to. Whenever they grow even a little they crack and break, I need tips so my nails look long and healthy! Help please! Here is a picture.

Yes Calcium is good especially is yoh drink almond milk which has 50% more calcium but you may have a deficiency (ALWAYS ASK YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE PILLS/SUPPLEMENTS) or a thyroid problem especially if you have weak/thining hair or are experiencing hair loss/Doesn't grow at all. If its something that is not common in you family you may want to get that checked out. BUT if its just maybe your nails are a bit on the thinner side I'd try a strengthing base coat. I love essies get up and grow.

I thought this pretty much said it all! Milk is great because it's an excellent source of calcium, but don't drink to much because to much calcium can lead to fat (not instantly and not a glass or two a day) you definitely can't replace water with milk, but yes, drinking milk will help strengthen nails!

Also you should really moisturize your nails and cuticles if they are peeling or feel brittle I love OPI Avoplex cuticle oil

Make sure you are getting enough protein because your nails are made out of protein.

Gel nail is incredible and my nails never chip and are so strong. I take calcium which helped me a lot because my nails got bad too.
