Hi gulliver , are you asking how , or going to tell us how ?
I don't have the answer as , at the moment , I am sat with 3 nails broken off , and 2 more that have cracked right down below the quick line :-( x

have the same problem myself gulliver especially when i am eating nuts with the shell... although i love eating them i always do in my thumb nails everytime.....

they say drinking lots of milk is the best way to make your nails stronger!!! or vitamins if they really work???

Make sure you're eating a decent diet and getting all your vitamins and minerals.

Soak them in olive oil and moisturise with vaseline and avoid harch chemicals such as nail varnish remover and polishes.

Get regular manicures to keep your nails in shape.

sorry, I am asking does anybody know how to cure brittle nails.

Hello, I found my nails grew stronger when I started to wear rubber gloves to do the washing up and then moisturise after hand washing, worked a treat !

[hussy]

wish i could say that was why i had the problem.... but i have a partner and cleaner that deals with that aspect lol

I have the same problem---working in a kitchen means my nails are in a dreadful state!!...I should wear gloves, but 90% of the time I forget them-help!!! I need a miracle cure-I am forever putting on and taking off nail varnish. Sally Hansen has made a mint off me-lol

hi ya pasta babes xxxxxxxxx
been a while since i have been on but better late than never lol xx

i hate putting nail varnish on but always put it on my wee toe nails. would get my nails done but wear contact lenses so its not the solution for me.

Drink and eat more dairy products such as milk, cheese, yoghurts etc

Hi everyone!
Sorry gulliver, I think your diet has a lot to do with the state of your nails, but soaking them in olive oil can soften them generally. After a few days, you should begin to notice an improvement.

Over the last 20 years, I have tried about every remedy people suggested or I read somewhere.
Unfortunately to no avail!
My nails are still as bad as ever!

:o(

A balanced diet has a lot to do with ones appearance.
