I recently quit biting my nails a few months ago (I bit my nails ever since I got my first teeth, so I’ve been biting for a good long time) and my nails slowly started to grow out. I have noticed as my ‘new nails’ have been developing that the white tips of my nails bend very easily if I touch them. I have also noticed that my nail beds are very short , and my nails grow crooked. I have a good collection of nail strengtheners, nail growth polishes, chip protection, and stuff like that, but they just don’t seem to want to grow long, strong and healthy like I want them to. I also don’t know how to file my nails very well. I actually just filed them an hour ago and they look uneven, and sloppy. Anyone know how to file nails well? I would appreciate ANY advice. Thanks:)

GNC makes a vitamin for hair and nails. It works great. I’ve also seen a similar vitamin at my local Walmart.

Doctor reccommended: Vitamin, Biotin. Its good for excellent Hair and nail growth. My doctor gave it to me when i went to him for my hairloss. They work. you can find them at any pharmacy like CVS, walgreens, Rite Aid, etc.
How it works: You prolly have less biotin in ur body thats why ur nails chip so much. When you take this 10mg pill, your body takes how much it needs and the access comes out through your urine. Eat once daily for a few weeks, not more than month.
Good Luck!

First you need to increase your vitamin E intake. It is responsible for hair, skin, and nails. Just take a supplement by mouth or use vitamin E oil to rub into the nail bed. As far as filing, you need to file in one direction with the harder side of the file. Then with the softer side you can buff your nails, which is good to do before you put on any of the nail hardeners.
