recommendations for strong nails

Hi girls… my nails are hopeless! They chip & peel back, sometimes up to half way up my nail. They bend, and I do a lot of craft work. There are ridges in them from when I get sick or stressed.

What are the best nail strengthening products available (which also won’t break the budget)?

    I have found Revitanail to be extremely effective in hardening your nails. BH has many reviews on the product – go to Dr Lewinns and you will find the various Revitanail products. There is one formulation for sensitive nails which I think is the pink one. I have not used that, just the good old regular hardener. Hope this helps.

    Might also be a topic on this in the nail section, sorry for being lazy but I am super tired otherwise I would have looked it up for you. This topic is one that I can relate to 🙂

    My nails used to be so brittle as well, they’d always break and the tip of the nail would come off, which caused pain as well as me being really annoyed. But I’ve found that Cutex’s Dimaond Extra hard definetly strengthens nails and doesn’t peel off to easily! It makes your nails really strong with 1 coat and with 2 it makes them almost rock hard… Well maybe not rock hard but very very very strong and hard, I rarely ever get breaks, I’ve been using the product for 3 years, one bottle lasted me 2 years and I’ve only just needed to buy a new one. It’s only 7.95$ and lasts forever. Here’s the beauty heaven link, http://www.beautyheaven.com.au/products/9182-Diamond-Extra-Hard

    By the way don’t even bother with Sally Hansen, there strengtheners are a waste of money, dearer and don’t even work. Whenever I’ve tried sally Hansens strengthening/hardening products they peel off after about 4 hours.

    Wow thank you so much.. I’l definately go buy & try it. Thanks for the good advice, what a life saver 🙂 Will let you know how it works out for me after I’ve tried it a bit.

    No worries, hopes it works as good for you as it did for me 🙂

    Thank you but I take too many vitamins including b & calcium, as well as strong nails vitamin supplements. So i’m looking for a nail formula

    Take a good mega B supplement it works, also zinc and calcium work well for hair, nails and skin.
