How do you keep your nails long and strong?

I have rather ';bendy';, if you will, nails. My nails are growing out quite nicely at the moment, but they're so bendy I know they're going to break. Is there any way I would make them so they're super long and super strong?





I drink tons of milk, and I take nail / hair supplements every other day. Have any suggestions?How do you keep your nails long and strong?
after i started only filing my nails (never using clippers) they got a lot stronger. i actually think that cutting them with nail scissors or clippers makes them break easier. How do you keep your nails long and strong?
I paint mine or clear coat,there is something called 5-7day growth you put it on everyday for a week. then you will have londa nails but if your nails tend to break easy then use this other product called nail strengthner. Buy it at Sallys or maybe even a nail salon. mine are long and strong.

Nail care tips





No nail care product alone can give you healthy nails. But following these simple guidelines can help you keep your nails looking their best:





Don't abuse your nails. To prevent nail damage, don't use your fingernails as tools to pick, poke or pry things.





Don't bite your nails or pick at your cuticles. These habits can damage the nail bed. Even a minor cut alongside your nail can allow bacteria or fungi to enter and cause an infection (paronychia). Because your nails grow slowly, an injured nail retains signs of an injury for several months.





Protect your nails. Wear cotton-lined rubber gloves when using soap and water for prolonged periods or when using harsh chemicals.


Perform routine nail maintenance. Trim fingernails and clean under the nails regularly. Use a sharp manicure scissors or clippers and an emery board to smooth nail edges. Never pull off hangnails 鈥?doing so almost always results in ripping living tissue. Instead clip hangnails off, leaving a slight angle outward.





Moisturize your nails frequently. Nails need moisture just like your skin does. Rub lotion into your nails when moisturizing your hands. Be sure to apply a moisturizer after removing fingernail polish.



there's a nail polish you can get called revitanail - you can get it in chemists. you paint a few coats on your nails and it makes your nails really strong and promotes nail growth - so effectively you'll have super long and super strong nails
