Growing stronger nails is possible, but also a process. An easy way to make nails grow stronger is to invest in a high quality, high shine nail strengthener treatment, like this Nailtiques Nail Protein formula.
This is one of the best products on the market for growing nails and keeping them from breaking or splitting.
♡ Use this basic tip: never cut your cuticles. They help prevent infections and keep your nails healthy. Instead, use a natural cuticle oil to keep them nice and soft. Coconut oil also works well to soften cuticles.
♡ Instead of filing back and forth, file in just one direction to prevent nails from splitting. Buffing the nail surface will stimulate blood flow to the area and encourage growth.

♡ Refrain from using acetone-based polish removers, as these lead to brittle, flaking nails. These natural nail wipes are a good choice.
♡ Take breaks from wearing nail polish to let your nails breathe. To get whiter nails after so much nail polish, make a paste using 1 tbsp peroxide and 2 1/4 tbsp baking soda. Let this paste sit on your nails for 5 minutes and voila! White nails!
♡ Keep your nails and hands hydrated with cuticle oil and hand cream every chance you get. If you are super serious about your hydration, use moisturizing hand masks at night to lock in the moisture. Perfect to use while watching television!

Hello I would like to suggest garlic for nail growth! I think it has work well for my nails! I take a fresh garlic clove and chop it up finely and put in my nail polish (I use nailtique) let it sit for about a week or two then start using! If the smell bothers you then wash your hands with lemon once your nails dry! It really has worked wonders for my nails! And now I only use clear nail polish with garlic! Try it out ladies!!!
Thank you, Deborah!
Using a natural cuticle oil to keep them nice and soft is a good idea. I didn’t know that coconut oil worked to soften cuticles. I have heard that there are different types of essential oils that can help stimulate nail growth and make them stronger, though I haven’t used any yet. Since my nails often break I’ll have to start trying some of these tips, so thanks for the advice.
I definitely need the whitening trick. I have odd stained nails from wearing such dark colors all the time.
Perfect time to give it a try!
Great post! I would love it if you joined and contribute your awesome posts at my link party at City of Creative Dreams, starts on Fridays :D Hope to see you there at City of Creative Dreams Link Party.
Loving the first and last tips!! I had recently bought coconut oil for oil pulling and then my dentist told me that it’s a hoax and does nothing for oral hygiene. I can’t cook with it either because my husband is allergic to coconut so this is perfect! I’ll use it for my cuticles!
I’m glad!! :) Also, that’s a shame your dentist told you that. I, myself, oil pull and have seen a big change in my dental care! Also, if you need more uses for your coconut oil: try shaving with it or moisturizing your legs with it. I use it for both! :)
That’s interesting…my dentist recommended oil pulling! I’ve noticed quite a difference in the past year that I’ve been doing it.
It really does make a difference and I’m glad your dentist recommended it! Most of them probably wouldn’t.
Such good tips!! Especially filing in one direction!
Ever since having acrylic nails, my nail beds suck (totally meant for that Mean Girls quote to happen)! I will definitely try some of these tips out.
I hope they help! :)
yes to all of these; i’ve also found that since i started eating avocado every day, my nails aren’t brittle anymore!
I’m going to try that baking side concoction you mentioned–that would definitely be useful for my constantly polished toes (I could NEVER go without since they have been stained :( wahhh).
Yess, Amanda, definitely give it a try. It should help! If not, let me know and I can find another solution for ya ;)
Great tips!! I wrecked my nails after years of wearing acrylics…it’s been a year since I’ve had fake nails on and they are just now getting back to normal!!
Thank you for sharing these tips! I will have to try them out!
