For most of my entire life, I'd terrible nails. Growing up, I was a nail biter but finally outgrew that only to start using artificial nails. After several years of that expense, I finally walked away. Unfortunately, I walked away with paper-thin nails that tore should you checked out them wrong. I've tried numerous nail strengtheners and products, but have recently gotten the nice natural pretty nails that I always wanted!
There are multiple nail strengthener types but the primary are polish style and oil treatments. I've discovered that while the polish types do keep my nails hard, they are still not strong from the inside out.
The primary issue which i had most recently was the truth that my nails peeled in layers, like split ends on the hair. The polish types (Nailtiques, OPI Nail Envy, and such) did help prevent that peeling, however, my nails actually became almost way too hard. Those treatments were great immediately after the fake nails came off, but because my own nails grew back healthier, the hardeners built them into prone to actually breaking. Which was not the help I had in your mind!
Now I tend to buff them weekly to keep them smooth, and that i use Pampered Skincare Ultra Protein Rich Nail Serum frequently. I also use other oils and creams to keep them nourished yet flexible which appears to be the magic combination. I did stop using emery boards and nail clippers altogether, and employ merely a glass file to trim and shape them.
After many years of fighting to have any nail at all, Now i find myself having to trim them back almost every other week or so. So healthy nails make an impression on brittle or peeling!
