I know you can massage olive oil/vaseline/moisturizer on your cuticles for healthy nails and nail growth, and wear a topcoat to prevent chipping, but my nails are in horrible condition and so are my cuticles. Feel free to share any nail growing/health tips, please!
Take prenatal pills daily, this has improved my nails so much, they grow super long and healthy now. even if you are not pregnant prenatal vitamins are great for your health.
Along with prenatal pills, try B vitamins. If I don't take these, along with iron, my nails breaks, chip, and split. Eek. I have a really poor diet so vitamins are a must.
you really have to make an effort to stop. I did over summer and literally just kept painting my nails OVER and OVER and Over again if i ever felt the need to bite them, i would paint them and pick the polish off and paint them again. this worked for a long time and i had wonderful nails! then school came and i got bored and started biting them. now im trying to grow them back and gain the will power i once had. its really hard though :(
There is only 1 product to use. OPI Nail Envy Original. It is a miracle product for making nails stronge you can grow them in a decent condition. They also do a matt version if you want it to lok like you are not wearing nail polish. My favourite nail product by far.
@ Sarah- i dont really like taking pills, but one day i may try pills(:
@Erica- Hmm I never heard of vitamin B for the nails, but i drink a lot of milk so i have super strong nails... or i think thats why they're so strong. they never get long though idk why
@Jacylyn- i actually dont paint my nails often or bite them... and i heard painting your nails often is bad for them?
@Kirsty- Adding that to my list of things to buy! thank you!
This amy sounds crazy- but it works and it tastes good. Mix up a pack of jello like you're going to refridgerate it to set-But don't refridgerate it, drink it. I promise. gelatin is very good for your nails.
To stop them yellowing, you can rub a little bit of lemon juice on them...and for good condition nails, I like to warm up some milk, just a little, and sit for a few minutes with my nails in them, cos it's good for them apparently!
my moms a pharmicist and i have awful nails so she always makes me take the vitamin Biotin. it not only helps your nails but your hair too and of course a healthy diet and growth treatments dont hurt either. oh and Avocado is one of the best foods for your nails and use a glass nail file so it wont leave your nails brittle (: i really hope this helps
