How to stop nails from chipping?

Once my nails get to a certain length, they start to chip and I end up having to cut them all so I can keep them the same length. I don't really like having short nails. :/ Is there anything I can do to keep them from chipping so easily?

(I don't really do anything heavily with my fingers/hands either. They just chip and break apart.)

Apply a clear strengthening nail polish , increase your calcium intake

This product works like a charm. My nails used to be brittle, they used to peel and chip, and they used to break all the time. You can use it just as a clear polish, or as a base coat under your coloured polish.

You could try a nail and cuticle cream like Hard as Hoof, or even Hoofers. Both smell medicinal, and are very calming. Both products strengthens nails, promotes nail growth, and evem tames those flyaway hangnails. :) I hope this helps!
