Any way to make nails grow faster?

My wedding is in 5 weeks and my nails are short. I want to get a french manicure for the wedding...are there any tips on how to make your nails grow faster or be stronger?

Crazy, but I've heard eat a lot of jello and gummy bears...gelatin makes your nails grow. You could always get a wrap or tips if they aren't growing fast enough.

Also try to keep ypur hands out of water as much as possible (example-wear gloves when washing dishes) since water will soften your nails making them easier to break.

Nailtique is supposed to work really well. You out on a coat a day, and take it off and start over every 4 days or something like that.

Re: Any way to make nails grow faster?

Definitely Nailtiques. I use Level 2 plus. My nails are actually too long right now. I have to file them down! Also if you use a coat on top of your nailpolish, it seals your nailpolish in and it won't chip!

I also heard about eating something with gelatin. I guess I'm going to have to gorge on gummy bears!!!

Where do you get Nailtique from?

Re: Any way to make nails grow faster?

I also heard and have tested and it is true that gelatin makes your nails grow faster but i dont know if 5 weeks is long enough.
Nailtigue also works.
Get wraps for your wedding. If done right they look natural. good luck

Re: Any way to make nails grow faster?

Julybaby - you can get Nailtiques at any pharmacy. i usually get mine from Genovese. You usually have to ask for it because it is locked behind the counter.
