How to get nice nails!

[noitsachicken]

Any tips for getting my nails to grow? They always split and peel, never grow well.
I would love nice nails, any miracles out there?
Thanks

I've started taking a vitamin supplement for hair and nails which does seem to be helping my nails growing.

Rub some oil into your cuticles every night, any will do, sweet almond is nice. Takes a few moments, nobody believes my nails are real.
