Strengthening nails?

[Loveleopardprint]

Got to give up on the acrylics. What can I use to strengthen my nails now? I have a friend who swears by Bob Martin doggy vitamins?! Can't quite bring myself to do that. Is there something I can paint on or something I can take? Thanks.

OPI Nail Envy is very good and quite reasonably priced on Ebay.

I find oil really strengthens mine (as a side effect of doing OCM) - most veg oils work but argan was particularly good. Just rub in a bit before bedtime.

Good diet, and the odd bit of OPI nail envy or that A&E basecoat (is that Nails Inc? Can't remember) seem to keep my nails in decent nick - if I neglect either for too long I get major peeling nails and the break very easily.

My nails are terrible and always have been, weak and flake easily. About 6 months ago I started using OPI Nail Envy and also have a few drops of vit e oil every day (can take it neat or mix into a drink) and my nails improved in no time. I got lazy for 3 weeks or so and didn't bother, and really saw the difference.

Boots do a nail hardener as well which costs about a fiver and is just as good as the OPI stuff. It's with all the false nails and eyelashes etc :)

I have dreadful weak, flaking nails and the only thing that has ever worked is Dr Lewinn's Renunail. It's so good I can even justify the horrifying price tag.

someone on here recommended the malava stuff to me, and it's been brilliant.

Brill. Thanks all. Will have a look for those products. Looking forward to growing my nails and wearing all of the lovely winter nail colours.

Second Renunail - better than OPI nail envy which I was using for years. Also filing my nails with the Leighton Denny file stopped them flaking. Brill stuff, havent had nails like these since I was 20
