Brittle Nails?
Posted in Fashion & Accessories by: adminMay 10th, 2008
My nails are very brittle and very frail. Is there a type of nail treatment or some kind of nail polish that can help them go back to normal?
I just took acrilyic naiils off

I’ve had that problem before….
I used a form of nail polish that acted as a strengther, but there is also a product called “Elon” ( ), if you are looking for a solution to the problem.

A well balanced diet is your best bet. Failing that a good multi vitamin

sounds like you have a nutrient deficiency lady!
Either that or you have a hormonal problem.
Is your hair thin and brittle as well?
I would start supplementing and get some natural hormone
replacement.

Silica, I hear, works wonders…a mineral you can purchase from your local health food store.

In terms of a treatment, a product called “Nailtiques” is considered one of the top “salon-quality” products and Sally Hansen would be the best drug-store product. Stimulate nail growth by filing gently (do not file back and forth - only file in one direction at a time) and also by using a buffer if there is no polish on the nail.
Apply one of the above producte every other day and remove completely after 6 days (3 applications). and start over. Use a NON-ACETONE nail polish remover as this is less drying than a regular polish remover. The non-acetone is available in the same place regular removers are sold.
Finally, I also recommend eating gelaten, which strenghtens hair and nails. These days it comes in convenient containers already prepared!!

if it’s brittle because of nail polishes and stuff, leave it alone for a month or two.
if it’s just naturally brittle, put on nail strengtheners from drugstores. they’re basically clear nail polish
