    hi dear my tips will be.........
    I manage to keep my nails long (about half to three-quarters of an inch beyond the fingertip) by:
    - always wearing rubber gloves with a ball of cotton wool at each fingertip when doing household chores;
    - taking MSM tablets daily;
    - applying a coat of OPI Nail Envy every other day for a week, then remove all polish and start again;
    - daily application of hand cream and cuticle butter;
    - using rubber thimbles (the type that banking clerks use to count banknotes) on my typing fingers while typing.
    I've worn my nails long since I was aged about nine (I'm now 47) and admittedly I'm now very used to them, but I never take any chances - I love my nails too much!.

    use a vitamin enhanced basecoat under all polish or on its own 4 shine! use cuticle oil or balms and file and buff regularly.. its the same as growin your hair, regular trims and all that! there made from basicly the same thing.. keratin..so same rules folow for both..x x

    Your nails are made of protein & keratin. So eat lots of protein. There is also a product by Sally Hansen called Miracle Cure. It is in a blue bottle. It is a great strengthener & helps to promote growth. It works wonders, and many of my nail clients have tried it and say that it works! Although u need to apply daily.

    sometimes, unfortunately we can also just have weak nails that seem to stay that way. It depends on the matrix at the root of your nails. try miracle cure, and/or try getting a set of artificial gel or acrylic nails (as long as your natural nails are not above your nail bed) they need to be the length of your fingertip, to get the artificial nails.

    I have that problem too. I've used a lot of nail hardeners to try to keep them strong and the one that's worked best for me is Sally Hansen's Thicken Up! It's awesome. I work with my hands a lot and this keeps my nails super long.

    Sunflower oil is another miracle fingernail strengthener, it also contains vitamin E which is great for helping you achieve strong nails. Vitamin E is not only has antioxidant properties, but also good for blood circulation, which improves nail growth. Soak your fingernails in a small bowl of sunflower oil for about 15 min a day.

    Castor oil is great to use on your nails, warm a small amount of caster oil and rub into your fingernails.

    well, here are some:
    moisturize it sometimes with vaseline
    don't use it after you shower, it tends to be softer by then
    apply some top coat
    wear gloves when doing chores
    don't bite it

    Once a week, squeeze a lemon in a bowl and dip your nails in for 10 minutes.
    That will make your nails stronger.
