Caring For Your Nails
Cleaning - If nails are dirty, use a bristled nail brush to remove debris from around cuticles or from under fingernails. Remove all polish with nail polish remover; do not pick at polish as that can damage the surface of nails.
Shaping - Nails should be gently filed with a fine emery board, never with a metal file that can cause damage. File in gentle, long strokes from corner to center; do not "saw away" at nails. Keep the emery board poised at a 45 degree angle in relation to the fingertip to prevent damaging the nail layers. Do not file deep into corners of the nail; this weakens the nail. In general, shorter nails are easier to maintain.
Protecting - Do not use your nails to scrape or lift anything, or to pull anything open. Wear gloves when washing dishes and use nail and hand lotion daily to keep hands and nails moisturized.
Polishing - You may wish to use only a ridge-filling colorless coat on your nails to give them extra shine and strength. If you polish your nails, use a ridge-filling base coat followed by color and then a protective top coat for the best results. Give your nails at least an hour to dry before using your hands.
But I'm a guy so I don't know that much about it.

I even have been a nail biter all my existence. Have bitten them considering i replaced into the right age to place my palms in my mouth (when I have been given teeth). I even have tried each thing even sitting on my palms to maintain them outta my mouth. one element which will help advance them is obvious nail polish. i do no longer use the stressful as nails, yet I hear it is tremendously stable, I only use stable ole clean nail polish. needless to say, now that i'm over the hill and characteristic an entire set of dentures, i do no longer chew them anymore, lol. desire this helps ya.

Well not sure if this will help but my over 100 year old grandmother used to say just taping your nails on a table or something would help strengthen them.

Drink at least 2 servings of skim milk a day so that you're getting enough calcium. Whenever I don't get enough calcium my nails get brittle after a while.
