My nails are paper thin, which is why I had acrylics in the first place. The reason I removed them is that the nail tech split the matrix on one of the nails and it has to heal. This has happened before but I just waited and when the nail gre out I went right back to acrylics. Now I want to stop wearing them and go natural.

Find a vitamin or supplement with lots of biotin in it. This helps your body metabolize protein better; since hair and nails are dead protein, this is the best supplement for them. Be sure you're getting enough protein, too. Sometimes the "hair and nail vitamins" have extra biotin, sometimes you can get biotin plain.
This would be a good addition to the Sally Hansen product, by the way. Your nails need more than one remedy. Give it time, like more than a month. Then you'll see improvement.

Short term, start massaging some vitamin E enhanced lotion into your cuticles and wear some "hardening" nail polish. For the long haul, start taking vitamins like prenatal vitamins or a women's vitamin (prenatals are best even if you aren't pregnant) and take some vitamin E suppliments. They should strengthen your nails AND hair.
