Ok. This Is Gonna Sound Really Vain (for Me Anyway), But I Really Wanna Grow My Nails- How? Cos They Dont Seem To Grow, And When They Finally Do They Tear Off/snap.

I Want Long Nails!!! *cries*

Yeah- So -any Advice???


Fake nails. I can't afford them anymore. But they looked a bit tacky on me anyway.

everytime mine grow enough to even have the white bits at the tips I notice them, and before I have chance to get happy I break them/snag them/bite them without even noticing I'm doing it. Sigh. I think Im destined for short nails. At the moment I have about 4mm of white bits at the tips and Im trying reeeeaaallly hard to keep them that way :redface:

No they have many uses; you can open stuff (like cans of drink), you can peel labels off stuff and tis easier to paint them groovy colours!

As if throwing the can across the room is going to open it

I disagree....you can pick up stuff (like money on a counter) with them...

Plus they look pretty :smile:

try using nail strengthener... I have some from superdrug (i think... stole it off my mum, lol) but it stops my nails from breaking... looks like clear nail varnish but has added calcium n stuff to help strengthen ya nails...

don't think that's much of a exercise thing. it's more of a flexibility thing.

no i don't do yoga.
