Nails need moisture to grow without breaking and splitting, unless you have a medical condition, so use lotion as much as you can. Massage into nail and cuticles. Especially before bedtime. Do the bedtime thing and you will see results in about a week or two. It does help to use a hardner, but don't use a lot of polish remover on your nails. It drys them out. I give myself a manicure only every two weeks. I just do polish touch-ups. Watch how you file your nails. Keeping nails more squared than rounded also helps to keep nails from breaking.

I don't know if it actually works...but I heard that eating the greens is supposed to...and drinking lots of milk for calcium. there are also calcium nail coats you can buy to put over nail polish or just put it on.

I take One A day vitamins since I was pregnant , and my nails are growing like never before. They were like yours. Maybe it will work for you too.

put nailpolish on, and apply a clear layer on everyday to keep it intact, or just change colours

try keeping them at a moderate length; then use strengthening polish.
