I have broken 5 nails in the past week- I just broke another one

Help!

I've been using OPI 'nail envy:soft and thin' and it's pretty good.

Make sure you are drinking alot of water, and getting enough calcium and Vitamin A.

Also try not to drink too much LI water (I swear there is a correlation cause when I was in college I had the best nails (Maine), but as soon as I returned to LI my nails started to chip again).

Yeah Beth it sounds like a vitamin deficiency problem...try to pop a Centrum daily...

Re: help- all my nails are breaking

I don't get enough calium

and I don't drink LI water- poland spring only

I know I should take a vitamin- but I almost chocked last time- it freaks me out- I have to get a pill cutter

it might be the change of seasons- b/c all summer I was fine

thanks for the tips- I am going to try them all!

Definitely...VITAMINS! Mine have been so strong since I've been taking a daily vitamin. I HATE takin pills, but forced myself.

Beth - whenever one of my nails breaks I put on a tip with a wrap. They only need to be 'taken care of' every other week, so upkeep isn't a big problem. Right now I have two tips.

Beth, I have trouble swalling pills too that are large...I started taking Viactiv (calcium chews) 2 weeks ago & they are wonderful...They come in different flavors, I happen to love the caramel

Try these out

I second Viactiv. They have calcium chews and multi-vitamins. They are the size of a Starburst candy (but not as sweet), but definitely edible!

Besides, since they look like candy I feel like I'm indulging when I shouldn't, and it's good for me!

Could very well be the weather...or stress. I used to love Sally Hansen Maximum Growth. It goes on clear with a hint of pink.

Agree on the Viactiv as well. Also, my mom said that eating jello (sugarfree) is supposed to help too. Not sure if this is true though...
