First get a good manicure. There are alot of different nail hardeners that work great. OPI Nail Envy, Qtica Natural Nail Strengthener, Nail Tek. I suggest applying 2 coats the first time and then 1 coat each day for seven days. Each night apply a drop of cuticle oil and rub in for a few seconds. This is necessary when using any nail hardener because the chemicals in the nail hardeners dry out the nail which cause additional dryness and chipping. The cuticle oil will help hydrate your nails. At the end of the first week remove your polish and start the same procedure again for the second week. If you follow this, you should see results. I advise against any pills or herbs because this may upset your stomach and could be costly. Invest your money in a good nail strengthener and cuticle oil as advised and you should see great results. Just be patient

I know what you mean. I have decided not to use the fake nails again. It took my nails months to recover from just two weeks usage. While you're wearing the fakes ones, your real nails can't breathe, and they become brittle and thin. I know the fake ones look nice, but don't wear then for more than 24 hours at a time.

Get some good nail treatments and take herbs that are for skin and nails. But, the only way to really get them back to normal is to just wait it out until that thin part grows out.

You might want to try Sally Hansen Natural Nail Growth Activator that's supposed to make your nails grow back quicker. They also make Sally Hansen Teflon Tuff Extra Strength Nail Protector which is supposed to protect them.

let them breathe for a few days.. meaning don't put anything on them. after a few days, put on some clear strenghtening nail polish such as sally hansen hard as nails. oh, and if your nails grew long under the fake ones, clip them down. leaving them long will only cause them to tear.

Nail Tek Intensive Therapy II
or

as a base coat for a week.

take lots of vitamin B and B12 plus extra Biotin for 2-3 months and they'll grow new, healthier nails.
