Default AMAZING nail product!

I haven't really cared about growing my nails in the last 5 years or so (maybe longer) but lately I've been wanting to feel less of a 'mom' and more of a 'woman', KWIM? Well, my nails just don't grow well. Even with those Sally Hanson Hard as Nails products. So I was at the beauty supply store (you know, the ones where salons go to buy their products) and I stumbled across this:

http://www.hairproducts.com/view_product_NAI-GIR100.htm

It is freaking amazing! I haven't broken a nail in 2 weeks and they are STRONG. I mean, they don't even feel like my nails and they are so shiney and pretty. I mean, with the amt. of times I wash my hands and do housework and (ahem) type on the keyboard, my nails have always been wearing out and breaking. This is awesome! Just had to pass the tip on. You should really track some down.

Good to know! I'm a horrible nail biter and REALLY want to stop. But my nails are so fragile that once they start to grow they break!

Mine are awful, I used to chew them as a child, and now they just don't grow well at all. They are so soft! This is the kind of thing I need.

I can't have long nails because of archery. When I release the string my fingers brush against the string, so any nails would freaking hurt as the string passes by. Sigh.

Oh this is awesome! I have soft bendy nails. The only time they ever looked great was when I was pregnant. I must find this (think it's available in Canada?)

Another really good one is called Nail-tek. I have acrylic and they do a number on your real nails so when I take them off to give them a break I always have a bottle of Nail-tek on hand.

Now if thew would come up with something to keep the polish on my nails I wouldn't have to have acrylic!

nail tek is great. we have it at work, i use it all the time on clients. they love it. it's a bit more expensive, at least for us.
i can't see the product that the link is for, it won't load for me. but, i'm sure that it's one of those. any strengthener is good for your nails. as long as you follow directions.

and pam, just a side note, you should let your nails breathe at least once every 9-12 months. just so they don't get any sort of infection from being under the acrylic for so long.
