My nails started cracking, anyway of making them stop?!


Question: I've tried nail polish.. doesn't work...


Answers: I've tried nail polish.. doesn't work...

Do you wash your hands a lot? Getting skin and nails wet can really dry both out. Some people say to use a good lotion on them but it's never really worked for me. I got some of that Sally Hansen Hard as Nails (the pink one in the tube bottle) and just put on coat after coat without removing the previous coat. It doesn't really build up, I work with my hands so it wears off kind of.. I always carry a file so my nails are even and can't snag on stuff.. hmm.. what else.. I'll think of more and get back to ya.. Oh yeah, urban legend to say gelatin or vitamins help.

Cut them before it gets any worse.

I used to have the longest, prettiest nails, but then they started to crack, so I had to cut them. When I tried to just leave it, it got worse and worse.

Just cut the cracking part.

there are a bunch of clear anti cracking polishes

if those dont work, keep your hands warm, use lotion (good lotion like for sensitive skin), and dont overwash your hands.

My nails used to split a lot, is that what you mean? What I did was start eating better and taking vitamins and for some reason the soap in the dishwater seemed to make them stronger, but I don't know why.

Stop telling them funny jokes.
