Any tips to help brittle, weak nails from constantly chipping and breaking? Currently, am using a nail strengthener and also taking biotin daily. Any tips and tricks would be appreciated.

Stop painting them, and soak them in olive oil a few times a week. lemon juice also helps strengthen your nails. hope this helps. x

I've posted this a lot.LOL..Put a piece of garlic in your clear nail polish and they'll grow stronger..it may smell at first but the smell will go away when it dries out:)give it a few weeks to see results:)

Garlic definitely works, try washing them with a brush everyday that will increase blood flow and help with the growth. Also, obviously don't wash the dishes without using gloves etc.. Don't let nail polish on for too long because nails can suffocate, I also trim mine from time to time just to get rid of the ends (it's like trimming hair) and I try not to file them a lot I feel like that is what causes the different layer to chip off.
