I painted my nails with nail polish during the winter break, and as soon as I took it off (around 5 days later) my nails were all screwed up! Like half of them chipped away and got 'ripped' (the tips). I heard if you rub white onions on them, they'll get stronger. Can someone confirm? Any other cures?

thanks!

It�s not easy for me to say this, so listen to me carefully. You just might hear it. I love you.

You can try the burt's bees lemon butter cuticle cream...
I had fake nails for a month and my nails started to turn brittle and dry =/
so my friend told me about this product and it works well.

I had that problem too.. my nails would break and I had difficulties growing them at all..
then one day i noticed they improved.. all I did was change my eating/drinking habits........
I drink at least 2 litres of water a day.. and stay away from junk food as best as I can.

I also take vitamins and minerals but I don't think you need to do that, just take the advice the ppl above mentioned and eat fruits and stuff like that!

you probably need more protein and iron
but try Neutragena nail solution pen (im not sure if thats the full name) but it comes in a pen shape and gives it nutrients from healthier nails.
