I've been using an Orly nail strengthener but it seems to be doing nothing for my nails. The tips of my nails are always cracking or peeling and I don't know what strengthener is the best to get.
I think any sally hansen nail strengthener or nail product is awesome. Also if you decide to polish your nails make sure you are using an actual base coat & top coat. It helps a lot.
My nail polish remover is for weak nails, it has vitamin B5 in it (I think) which is good for strengthening nails. Also make sure to use a hand & nail cream as they will make them thick and strong :) If they're still breaking, it could be something to do with your diet so I would see a doctor.
I have the same problem! I hate my nails, because they're so weak and I just can't wear them without a nail polish 'cause they look horrible and boring without any colors. I just bought ACO Nail strengthener and it seems to be working in some way but I still have long way to acchieve beautiful, long nails... Ugh.
duri rejuvacote is must have for weak nail! Another way to keep strong nail is cut the weak tips( like getting trim ur dead ends) use base coat before polish and chage the polish every week, dont leave the old polish more than 10 days
I've heard Nailtek is really good for this problem. My nails peel to no end. I hate it, and I'm trying to get my hands on some of that stuff so I can finally be peel free!!!
Stronger * try drinking more water or get acrylic nails it makes your nails harder with. This like paste it gets hard on your nails and yeah you can get that done from the salon
I always had really weak nails and having a bad nail biting problem didn't help. But what worked for me was buying a regular nail harderner and cut up tiny pieces of garlic and put them in the bottle. It really strengthend my nails. Don't worry about the smell it does not & washing your hands with a lemon scented soap will take off any garlic scent😊
Try the Essie nail treatment Grow Stronger. I've been using it for about a moth and a half and I've seen a difference in my nails! Its a base coat too do use it under polish. When i go a week or two without polish to give my nails a break, I atleast have the Essie nail treatment on.

I agree with Romee, but it also helps if you have a healthy diet that's full of vitamins that can be found in fruits and vegetables.
