N-N-N-Nails?

Alecs	Date: March 13, 2008 @ 6:35 AM I've been getting very into flamenco music lately. The stuff is brutal on the right-hand nails. All the flamenco players I know use acrylics, which I want to avoid at all costs. Anyone know of any ways to strengthen the natural nails other than the obvious (don't use them as screwdrivers, keep them well filed, etc.)? Daily supplements? I've heard that Fish Oil Capsules contain useful fatty acids. Any advice or help is welcome. Thanks!
kingo	Date: March 13, 2008 @ 8:18 AM There is nail strengthener polish stuff. Probably you can get it anywhere nail polish is sold. Brush that stuff on occasionally and it'll strengthen 'em up pretty well.
Distilled1	Date: March 13, 2008 @ 9:06 AM smoke really it will make them grow and strengthen them Gelatin as well eat and as kingo said that stuff works as does using clear polish in coats to add to the thickness... some people don't have great nails , I have strong ones , all the ladies get mad cause if I want I can grow them like those 20$ tips they pay to have done a hairdresser asked me back in the day (long hair days) if I smoked why cause I had long hair and nails , and I asked why, she said have you known any pot heads that dont have long hair and long nails
