I have super weak, dry nails that chip off everyday because of my hormon and Thyroid problems. I've tried many things but nothing helps. Many people told me to get fake nails for a while to let my naila grow out..is that a good idea? I'm really sick of my nails:/

If you want strong nails that won't chip or break I would get acrylics. However when you take them off your real nails will not be any healthier than they currently are because acrylics can be damaging. However while you have acrylics on your hands and nails will looks really nice!

Acrylics and gels would just make the problem worse after they come off. You can buy a clear polish that has strengther in it and mince up some garlic and stick it into the bottle then paint Your nails with it everyday

No. once you take off the acrylics your nails will be worse. they'll look nice on but I had strong nails before and after I took them off they were dry and cracking!

I agree with Gabrielle too,using fake nails will only make your nail condition worse..try a nail polish that'll strengthen your nails instead :)

It'll be soooo much worse after youll regret it. I did. I alwayd had thin naild but it took me almost a year to get them healthy again.

When you take them off chances are youll have to cut your nails shorter anyway.

Avoid nail polish, file your nails instead of cutting them :)

And think of your nails as a pyramid, they're strongest at the roots, so file down your nails twice a week for a while, so the nails get a chance to build up the strength. If that made any sense

I honestly have the same problem with my hormones, they grow sometimes long and nice but as soon as I puncture them its over, anyways I now wear artificial nails now, I buy like an 80 pack so glue and do dem myself I don't spend money on things I can do right at home for way less lol, but yes wearing the fake nails does help a lot.

Fake nails do make the nails weaker but I just love the look of them

False nails weaken the natural nail and nail bed. I'd try using a product called Nail Tek first. It helped my nails so much when I was severely anaemic. I had an awful problem with peeling. Also, you could try using a non toxic polish.

I live with acrylics I havnt seen my real nails in like a year:') I just keep getting infills! Yeah it is bad for your nails but they look nice and if you keep getting infills then why does it matter aye? Shellac is healthier and help your nails get strong and grow aslong as you pick it of and get them taken of at a salon and re-done.
