My nails seem to grow strong and hard, but it seems that as soon as they get to the perfect length and look great, they all start breaking! I use a good protein strengthener regularly....... what else can I do? They'll break at the base- horizontally about half way and then the whole thing will come off soon afterwards.Ladies with long natural nails: How do you keep the nails from breaking once they are long?
It's all in the care. I use Sally Hansen's complete care once a week. It's available at most drugstores for $12. Before I use to be like you my nails would grow out then break off, and so I did a little research. Proper nutrient gives your body what it needs to maintain strong and healthy nails. Also don't use your nails to pic at each other (I use to have this bad habit) it makes the nails weaker, just use the nail pic on a metal nail file. Also when you need to file your nails only file in one direction this will keep them from getting weak. I also like to cut mine once every 3 months in order to have them grow out healthy again, by doing this they keep growing back stronger than before. But if you do cut your nails don't do it too often because cutting your nails with a nail clipper creates shock to your cuticles, which in the long run isn't good for the nails. Instead if possible just file them, but as I said before in one direction. Also don't change your polish (if you choose to polish your nails) too much, it doesn't really help the nail because when you use the nail polish remover to remove the polish it dries out the nails. Finally when ever exposing your nails to water for a long period of time (say a shower) the nails feel weaker so I would suggest to avoid anything that might put your nails at risks for a few minutes after exposure to water.Hope this helps!Ladies with long natural nails: How do you keep the nails from breaking once they are long?
i have long nails, for years I have soaked my nails in a half solution of water and vinegar. Usually while watching TV (then I dont munch on anything either) Its safe and natural. You can save the solution for repeat uses in a jar....You can also recycle the solution by using it to wash a mirror or windows.....
another suggestion might be that your problem is you are lacking vitamins
either problem can be fixed
you know i had the same problem as well, my nails would always chip from the bottom.. but i never used a nail strengthener..one of my friend advised always keep ur nails painted with any nail polish, but just always keep them painted, because that some what helps prevent the nail from chipping off..maybe you do keep your nails painted all the time.. but maybe another advice would be.. don't grow them super long..try to keep a normal okaish Length because if ur nails are long there gonna break some how sooner or later.. sometimes nails don't have to be really long to look good.. i guess i would say.. try to keep them at a okay length where there wont be no worries for them chipping off.. hope it helps..
you can't
ya why is that

How can I grow long beautiful nails?
I'm getting married in two months and my finger nails are short and brittle. I don't like fake nails they just hurt my natural nails even more. So can you suggest some remedies for long strong nais?How can I grow long beautiful nails?
keep em healthy and watch out for things that can brake them.How can I grow long beautiful nails?
Always make sure you have a coat of nail strengthener on. I believe there's a couple of good ones by Sally Hansen. As they grow out, keep them shaped so you won't catch them on stuff. Also, a friend of mine swears by orange juice! Even if you aren't able to grow long nails for the wedding, a good manicurist can make them look nice. I just got married in August and trust me- your nails are going to be one of the last things on your mind on your wedding day! Good luck!
Drink milk.
Take calcium pills.
take biotin or a hair nails and skin viatamin suplament
There is an ad on tv for a nail polish called Green Tea stimulator and it makes short nails grow longer in just five days! You can get it at Wal-Mart, Target and K-mart in the cosmetics section. It works!!!
they make a nail polish that makes your nails grow and keeps them strong! Hope you have an amazing wedding and marriage!
Start from within, take a multivitamin supplement coupled with a well-balanced diet.
Then, refrain from putting nail coats. If you ever have to put one, be sure to take them off after 3 days so your nails can breathe and won't turn yellowish.
Thirdly, dont use your nails as tools.
Lastly, if you want to go natural, Put some garlic juice on it. That will make your nail strong but the growth still lies on your inner health.
So there you go! Hope I did help...

Cutting very long nails on a dog? Even with the quick at the tip of the nail?
This dog does not allow nail clipping. Although she is walked frequently on the road, they won't wear down. I am sure it is painful to the toes of the dog. Can she be sedated and the nails be cut past the quick? How painful will it be if that is recommended by the vet? They are like really long, and desperately need to be cut. Any suggestions about this?Cutting very long nails on a dog? Even with the quick at the tip of the nail?
The nails should not be cut anywhere beyond the quick of the nail.
What does the trick for my mom's dogs, recommended by veternarian, give the dog a little benadryl. But do not give your dog anything without consulting with a licensed veternarian.Cutting very long nails on a dog? Even with the quick at the tip of the nail?
I think the best thing to do would be to take your dog to a groomer and ask there opinion. Some groomers have calming agents that calm dogs before clipping nails. Cutting the nail behind the quick would be like cutting your finger nail right back behind your quick. It would really hurt her. If the groomer has no suggestions take her to the vet.
Yes, they can sedate the dog to do it.
Some dogs have long quicks, like mine.
You have to start cutting them back little by little to wear down the quick, without it bleeding like crazy.
They may file it down as well, which is a bit less scary and painful for a dog.
We finaly found a groomer who had been doing it for 30 years-we tried -but doggie hated it-we took her to a vet-they cut it too far back and hurt her-I THINK THE PROFESSIONALS DO A BETTER JOB--- LOVE DJ
OH boy, you do have a problem. You may need the vet to help you on this one. BUT...try giving the dog a warm bath and then clipping just the tip of the nails while they are still very soft.there should still be a bit of non-quick tissue there. Have someone help you by giving treats or putting peanut butter on their fingers for dog to lick off ( a great distraction). Then in a week, do it again and keep repeating until you get them down. Or, if you have to have help from the vet this time, try the bath and peanut butter trick in a few weeks. If the dog begins to associate nail-cutting with something good happening it will help a lot.
dogs nails should be clipped WEEKLY,, how long did you let this go???
get a dremmel and file them little bit, every other day or so til the quik recedes.. and do not neglect them again
The vet can definitely sedate the dog %26amp; cut them down quite short.
It won't hurt the dog at all.
If she were awake when the vet cut them - it would be a very quick ';ouch'; - the pain would disappear in just a second.
But - for the dog's sake - and for the vet's - make it easier on both of them %26amp; have her sedated.
One of my friends ALWAYS has her dog's nails done this way as he won't tolerate having his nails cut. Have the vet cut them REALLY short. That way it has to be done less often.

How long do nails have to be to get acrylic?
I bite mine, I don't wanna anymore. So, I would like to get acrylic. How long do nails have to be?How long do nails have to be to get acrylic?
They can be as short as you make them. Thats why people get them to get longer nails. I always bite mine too and I get them sometimes. They sometimes cut them anyway if they are too longHow long do nails have to be to get acrylic?
You can get them even if they are short and you bite them. often it is a good idea to get acrylic to help kick the habit. The process includes the technicians putting tips on your nails made of plastic. and then there is acrylic placed on top of the tip and your nail. This gives the illusion of longer nails.you can get them as long or as short as you want.
i recommende pink and white because it won't chip as often as a regular manicure or nail polish will. And they are thick and last against bumps and chews
it doesnt matter how long they arre at all.
you can get them
itll be finee
it doesnt matter how long they are. they can be short. the nail person is going to clip your nails anyways.
doesnt matter i bite mine too and i get mine done
not long at all. they can put tips on first, then the acrylic

What are guys veiws on girls that have long nails?
do u think it's ugly or nice?What are guys veiws on girls that have long nails?
1/4 inch is fine... any longer is alittle long but thats just me. as long as the girl is not the kind of girl who forgets she has long nails and scratches the hell out of guys. getting scratched is a total turn off. i once heard of a girl who boasted about scaring a guy (who was her friend) with her nails... i made sure i stayed away from her O.OWhat are guys veiws on girls that have long nails?
as long as they aren't too long.
I'd rather have a well taken care of nail, then a fake nail. I hate girls who have just scraps of paint left on it. Either take it off, or reapply, don't leave scraps of paint on your nails.. that looks trashy.
Depends on her current style and what she's wearing etc. Usually too long dusnt look good. Slightly long looks good. And short is just normal. I just dont like it when they bite them too much. That makes em look like crap. Filing wud be better.
well i know im not a guy
but personally i dont like it when girls have long nails, especially if theyre natural
and i think fake long nails look trashy
i hate it i think its ugly and i hate when they wears nail varnish i think thats really ugly too i hate that
Whats long?
A little long is sexy, if your into girly girls.
Too long is trashy.
the look is sexy but makes me think you don't work for a living. I can't picture a job were long nails last long.
Girls with long hair a stuck up.
as long as they arent as short as mine ur okay....but i dont like em too long
depends on how long. longer than an inch. EW! half inch, okay, a quarter of an inch is great!
I don't really like it.
My nails are kinda longs, but i keep biting them so they cant get loonger! LOL
