I had acrylics for acouple monthes and decided to take them off and start fresh, so I cut my nails and bought nail strengtheners because my nails were weak. Now they are a bit stronger but I want them to grow. What are some things I can do to help them? :)

I don't think you can do anything to make them grow any faster. like hair, nail growth is determined by genetics & the health of the nails.
I had solar nails for a good 6months straight & when I took them off finally my nails were as thin as paper. I honestly just left my nails alone & they grew back in fully within 2 months :p

I've tried nail strengtheners & never really saw a huge difference in my nails. at least not one good enough to keep buying the strengthener.

You can buy nail growth polish :) I know Sally Hansen has one that I've used and it made a noticeable difference in a week :)

What I did to get mine real long is massage the nails as well as my cuticles twice a day every day using a few drops of coconut oil. and once a day I GENTLY push back my cuticles using the handle of the nail clippers.

I also stopped filling them completely and those are the results. I would file them the correct way and they would still always break. here is the view from the underside.
