Soft, splitting nails?

The same thing is happening to me. Nail polish and nail polish remover drys out nails, and causes it to peel. Stop painting them for a little bit. Apply Salley Hansen Hard as Nails - Nail hardener twice a day. They will be growing back in no time.

Ok... here is what I dealt with. I bit my nails since I was a little kid and as soon as I was old enough to drive myself to the salon, I started having acrylic nails put on (consistently). My nails were so thin from biting them and then they were filing them even further to do the acrylics so they were in seriously bad shape. Peeling layers, easy breakage, and over all thin and unhealthy.

My solution: I gave it a rest and stopped having my nails done! They needed time to strengthen back up in order to stop peeling and chipping. I kept them filed short and applied a thick layer of Sally Hansen Continuous Treatment Hardener on a regular basis. It has a nice little shine to it so it looked like clear polish. It took a solid year but now my nails are thicker, healthier, and growing faster than ever before. I get so many compliments because I always have a french manicure and it looks so much more natural and softer than fake nails. If you have a special occasion where you want to get acrylics... I suggest asking them to only file a little bit of your actual nail. They will tell you that they won't stay on as long, but to me it would be worth it to not destroy my nails!

I have spent a fortune on trying products but the only thing I would suggest investing in is the hardener I mentioned and a good cuticle oil treatment. Other than that... it just takes time and treating them right. :)

You can buy a special oil to put on your nails. Apply this several times a day to moisturise the nails and prevent them drying out. Alternatively, use a good hand moisturiser several times a day and especially each time after washing your hands and at bed time.

It might be your diet. Try to eat healthier foods and drink a lot of water. Also, only using glass nail files made my nails a lot stronger
