nutrition is the main ingredient for healthy nails.....also try a herbal treatment that works for me.....soaks your nails in a mixture of jojoba oil .....and horsetail...horsetails has silica that is a must for strong, non- brittle nails...check out a book at you library...for natural nail remedies ...for this formula....
you need more vitamin C and E in your foods frist, and also regularity sleeping.
