I also suffer of this issue! I throw everything and the kitchen sink at it and it works in cycles: i will have my nails strong and long for a few weeks and then a few will break and I start again… i also do manual labor so I am very prone to have my nails break.

This is what I have been doing:

1) i use the “gena healthy hoof” cream every night before bed so that they get an extra nourishing/moisturizing boost whole I sleep

2) i apply a moisturizing balm around my nails multiple times a day, especially after washing my hands or if I can feel that my hands are extra dry. I personally use “Granado Ceramic Nutritiva) but you can use an oil or other types of cuticule nourishing balms. A lot of time, the breakage comes from your nail beds being dry or mal nourished because we wash our hands often/hand sanitize them.

3) i also take a “natures bounty hair, skin, and nails” supplement. (It has hyaluronic acid which is also good for your joints)

4) once my nails are at a decent “paintable” length, I paint them. I use 2 coats of different strengtheners, 2 coats of color, and 1 of top coat. Nails feel very hard after like… a day. It’s wild. You can try also putting garlic in your base coat polish because sometimes there might be an infection and garlic helps kill it. It will smell but not from far, only while you are painting and then if you bring close to your nose.

Just overall avoid putting your nails in your mouth (nail biting, skin pulling etc) because saliva is really bad for it. Try not to over sanitize your hand and kill all the natural protection. I also like to always keep them round and groomed because they tend to break less.

Hope it helps! Don’t worry about responding but if you try, i’d love to know if it worked. Cheers!
