Nail Hardeners....

[pastafreak]

They work for the first two weeks or so...then nails seem to get bad again-splitting and breaking. This seems to happen with them all.
Any ideas why?

I think nail hardeners actually dry the nail and then they break eventually. I agree with pixi - plenty of olive oil on nails, and then cotton gloves before you get into bed, otherwise you will make a right mess on the sheets. And why not try the nail hardener just on the tips and edges of the nails. I remember being told that a cube of jelly a day is good, its the gelatine.
