Just eat healthy and take a multivitamin/multimineral supplement. That way you're covering all your bases and you new nails will grow in just fine.

Prenatal vitamins are known to give you healthy hair, skin and nails but just make sure you don't take them for prolonged periods of time as there is a risk of iron poisoning etc if you are not pregnant.

a good calcium intake is important for strong nails.
Any three of the following are recommended to meet your daily calcium needs:
•One glass milk (200mls)
•One pot of yoghurt (125g)
•28g/1 oz cheese.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is needed for strong, healthy nails. Breakfast cereals and milk with added vitamin D are very good sources of vitamin D but the best source is sunlight so get outside!
Minerals
Other minerals such as manganese and selenium are important too. Wholegrains, nuts and seeds are good sources of selenium and manganese.

Biotin and Calcium (with vitamin D). Also use sally hanson, strong nails that helps fortify the nails and helps them grow.

the hair and nails are made up of excess protein. So anything with excess protein should help. Also vitamin E is said to help.
