What type of Dremel (or similar grinding product) do you use for your dog's nails?

I don't know if we just got a lousy one or if they're all chintzy, but our cordless Dremel is lousy. It's the orange one that is marketed specifically for grinding pet nails. It's always been rather weak and tends to fall apart or just stop working.





Now, I have a giant breed with thick, enormous nails. I am not interested in something meant for small dogs, and I'm not interested in a Peticure. We want cordless, and relatively cheap (not, like, $80).





What sort of Dremel would you recommend? Do you think we should get another of the ones that are sold for pet nails? What other type?What type of Dremel (or similar grinding product) do you use for your dog's nails?
Don't bother with any variety made for pet nails. I have a Dremel Minimite cordless that I use for my own (thick) toe nails. I got it after a trip to my podiotrist who used a Dremel to file my nails in her office. This was long before the pet nail grinders became popular. When I saw the commercials for them, I decided to try it on my dogs, and it works. It has two speeds so you can control how fast it grinds, and you can choose a fine or course sanding drum. I think I paid about $40 for mine, but I had to order it online because it wasn't in stock at any stores around my home. If you don't have to have a cordless model, you can find them at walmart, target, home depot etc.What type of Dremel (or similar grinding product) do you use for your dog's nails?
Dremel-MultiPro Cordless-7.2 Volt-2 speed. I used in on Dobermans hundreds of times. We use the replacement sanding Bands that are 60 Grit. (#408 in the replacement packages.)





Add: The one we have actually says 770, similar as the one Oregano posted. I think it's probably the same thing, but ours is as old as the hills and still working strong. The one in her posting says 7700.
We got a Black %26amp; Decker Dremel for my danes' nails. It's corded and cost around $30-$35. I'm not sure how much a cordless one would cost, but the Black %26amp; Decker's have always worked well for me.
I think you may be referring to the Pedipaws, not a Dremel. Dremel is a name brand tool that has never been orange and does not fall apart.


If you want a good quality nail grinder, buy a Dremel brand one. They run about $50 and are commercial quality, with a rechargeable battery and two speeds.





Edit: use caution when purchasing. The regular Dremel tool has too high of rpms, and if you are not an expert, you can burn the nails off, which is uncomfortable for the dog. The one that is manufactured for nail grinding has lower rpms and is much safer.





Edit: Dremel makes a nail grinder called the ';mini-mite';. It comes with a rechargeable battery and has two speeds, both of them with lower rpms. It runs around $50. I have no idea why more people don't know about it-last year it was all the rage at Walmart!


I happen to own one and have no problem with the thing slowing down or not doing the job properly.





http://www.petedge.com/Dremel-Mini-Mite-鈥?/a>
I don't %26amp; never will use one.


I've done thousands of nails w/a real nail-whacker-Millers Forge.
I am using a regular dremel, sold at Home Depot or Lowes in the tools section. Can also be used for various home projects. It is however not cordless.
Just go to a hardware store and pick out a pretty inexpensive yet decently designed hand grinder. You should be able to find one for about 20 bucks. The PediPaws of the world are worthless and a waste of money.
The orange ones stink cause you have to use batteries.


I have one that has a rechargeable battery. I can't find it at the moment but, it is either the 4.8 volt or 7.2 volt one that comes with a 25 accessory kit. You can get it at lowes, home depot...ect.
Pick up a standard cordless Dremel at the hardware store. Not the ones made specially for pets (which are underpowered and not too sturdy). I got one with two speeds and an abundance of attachments, including the sanding drums used for nails, for $29.99 on sale. Very sturdy, powerful, never had a problem with it at all, and I use it for 6 pets. I believe this is the one I have: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=pr鈥?/a>





Add: RPM settings on this one are 10,000 and 20,000 for low and high. It doesn't hurt me if I slip and hit my finger, and doesn't seem to bother any of my pets at all.

I want to get my nails done at home, what is a good product to use?

Like, a product for french nails, something that actually works.


and also one for fake nails, ones that actually stay on for awhile. and how much would it cost? something i could pick up at walmart?


and no 'just go to a nail salon' crap. i don't have enough money to go there now. and no 'go when you have money' im 13, i don't have 50 to go get fake nails on.


AND ALSO: no 'your too young to get nails on!' ive had them on twice before. so yeah. as you can tell, people have told me that stuff before


if you say that, you can be assured that your not getting the best answer.I want to get my nails done at home, what is a good product to use?

    I haven't taken GNC hair, skin, and nails. I planned on it but I decided to get something else. I took Ultra Nourish hair for a while and I was very pleased with the results.Does walmart carry the product GNC Women's Hair, Skin %26amp; Nails Formula??
    well first of all don't ever ever ever shop at walmart.. worst place ever it's ruining our economy which is the reason why many people are losing their jobs are why alot of people are homeless.. stay away from walmart those low prices are just tricking you but the more you buy their products the more powerful walmart will get and the more people will lose their jobs not only that they treat their employee's like crap





    so try looking at sally's or even target anything BUT walmart no way
    YES THEY DO!!!! yesterday June 7, 2008 i went to Wal-Mart and i bought some, they were like $7.00, maybe a little more or a little less, but i started taking them and i feel blood pumping through my hair (means your hair is growing) mine were in a pink bottle. HAir, skin, and nails. with 3000 mcg of biotin. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS

    My Grandad has really thick toe nails, what would be the best product to get for him?

    I try to take care of his feet but his toe nails are so thick i know it isn't good and it looks gross too, i know they have like tea tree oil nail polish for stuff like that, or at least i believe they do, and they have other stuff on the market but i don't know where to start looking and what would be the best product, becuase he says that he's used some of that stuff before and said that it didn't work, but i'm gonna go ahead and give it a shot for him. So please do the best you can in giving me advice, i'd prefer experience, but anything will help:)My Grandad has really thick toe nails, what would be the best product to get for him?
    yup yup your ';grandad'; okay....My Grandad has really thick toe nails, what would be the best product to get for him?
    He may have a nail fungus. However my son had thick nails and after years of trying fungus stuff (with no results) we now put a prescription lotion on his nails and it looks like the new growth is normal.





    Go to a foot doctor.
    Send him to an old folks' home and let them take care of it.

    Hello. Did any one used this product? ----> Andrew Lessman Healthy Hair and Nails CoQ10... I need review?

    Please if any body used this pruduct write a review on it,, Does it works? Does it do what it claims ... And what kind of resolts did you got personally...





    Thank you very much for your responses in advance.Hello. Did any one used this product? ----%26gt; Andrew Lessman Healthy Hair and Nails CoQ10... I need review?
    I use Andrew Lessman's multi vitamins and his ';Hair Skin and Nails'; Formula.....the COQ10 is a different pill, not included with the hair vitamin supplement.


    I noticed that within one month of taking the ProCaps/Lessman supplements, my hair seemed to have a major jump in the speed of its growth. It was actually a bit of a shock! I had used the GNC ';UltraNourishair'; for 4 months and they seemed to help too, but the Andrew Lessman pills made a bigger difference and I think it is because his products are the MOST pure and delivered in a microencapsulated form which is the most efficient rather than the GNC tablets which are solid and have to be broken down by your body's stomach enzymes.


    I really love the Andrew Lessman products, and have seen a measurable difference in my hair since using them.


    Okay, I see what you are asking about now.....I just saw Andrew on TV with the COQ10/hair formula.....that has never been offered before and is only being offered this once for his 10th anniversary, so nobody could review it yet since he hasn't shipped that product out yet........I did order some, though, and would recommend trying it if you can because his products are the best.

    False nails have been removed own nails weak and very unhealthy can anyone help with advice of a product?

    Try vaseline intensive care hand and nail cream. Apply as many times as day as you wish, makes nails stronger and hands really soft.False nails have been removed own nails weak and very unhealthy can anyone help with advice of a product?
    Try not to have false nails on. With all the reports of fungi and infections going around from these nail salons here lately, I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the cause. Nails, like eyes, have to ';breathe'; in order to maintain health (that's why my optometrist recommends going part of the day without my contacts in).False nails have been removed own nails weak and very unhealthy can anyone help with advice of a product?
    I cant give any advice, but I can sympathise. I wore false nails and they ruined my real nails too, over a year later they are still really weak and brittle. They are really not worth it, next time go for gel tips instead, thats what I am going to do.
    you need gelatine to strenghthen them , buy jellys and eat, also you can buy off the shelf in the supermarket hair and nail vitamins


    they work as i have had long nails all my life up until last few years handling books for selling at markets i have started on the tablets plus make a few jellies and eating them, and my nails are now starting to strenghthen again
    You have had them on too long, but you know that. You can get a kit from Avon which has all the ingredients you need to look after and strengthen your nails. Just follow the instructions and your nails will soon regain their strength.
    Sounds daft I know but eat a square of raw jelly every day. Works for me x
    First give yourself a proper manicure. Strong results from avon works everytime, its not expensive, you put it on every day and you will see quick results.
    Vitamin dose and executive base from Bio sculpture.
    If you can find it, the stuff they put on horses hooves works like magic! No joke, my friend went out with a jockey and her nails kept splitting so he gave her some of this stuff [no idea what its called sorry] and within a few weeks her nails were really strong and for the first time in her life she was able to grow her nails really long. So try it. Other than that, Sally Hanson diamond hard nail stuff is good too.
    I suggest a nail strengthener and hardener, such as Sally Hanson brand.





    Sadly, when nail tips are applied, the nail technician buffs down the surface of the nails to make the tips adhere better, but at the cost of thinner, weaker nails.





    Use the nail strengthener as often as recommended on the bottle, morning and night.





    I find that gently using the nails, such as tapping them on the desk, helps to get them stronger. Don't let them soak in water too long, this will weaken them too much, use rubber gloves until they strengthen up a bit more.





    Good luck!
    Oh dear, I know what your going through. Let me gues, they're thin, brittle, and peeling? I wore my acrylic nails for two years and finally took them off in January. I bought Nailtiques (search it on google and read the reviews). I swear by it. It's unbelievable. I wish I can show you what my nails look like. You apply it once a day and within just 24 hours your nails will feel a lot stronger and thicker. You feel how it starts working as soon as you apply it. NO JOKE! It's a bit pricey but worth every penny. Although, I also bought Sally Hansen's Maximum Growth Activator, which I still use. It's also really good, and it's only $5. You apply it twice, morning and night, rub it on nail and on cuticle. Results within just days. Also you may want to heat up a little Olive Oil and soak your fingers in it for about 20 minutes. Olive Oil heals cuticle beds which allow your nails to grow faster. I hope this helps and goodluck!
    uhh do to op nials and get ur nails done!
    The people that stand in shopping centres/malls selling the etre products they often stop you asking to buff one of your nails. well buy this product it has minerals from the dead sea and comes with a file, buffer, cuticle oil and hand lotion and it lasts about a year. it is quite expensive about 拢20 - 拢25 but well worth it I bought some and within the month my nails were back to their strong and healthy selves. I was advised this product by my manicurist as she also uses it.

    I hAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE I BITE MY NAILS ALOT, WHAT IS A GOOD PRODUCT TO HELP ME STOP?

    a good home remedy (though there is stuff you can buy at the drug store that looks like nail polish but it's nasty tasting stuff to keep you from wanting to bite your nails cause it's gross) is to rub raw garlic on your nails ... unless you just love raw garlic.I hAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE I BITE MY NAILS ALOT, WHAT IS A GOOD PRODUCT TO HELP ME STOP?
    Put some jalapenos on your fingers-- that will prevent you from biting them for awhile... and do that until the habit is gone.I hAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE I BITE MY NAILS ALOT, WHAT IS A GOOD PRODUCT TO HELP ME STOP?
    They sell this stuff at Sally's I THINK that is like a clear nail polish but tastes really bad. Or get s.one in your family or a friend to help you, Everytime they see you biting your nails tell them to pop your hand out of your mouth, also, just start sitting on your hands everytime you get the urge to bite!@!
    Go get them manicured lol....i bite my nails alot but when i have them done i dont bite them at all...hey its worth a try right...
    coat them with a bitter tasting anti-nail biting polish like this one:





    http://www.ulta.com/control/product/~pro鈥?/a>





    or you can coat them with galic water. trust me you dont wanna bite that!
    There is a product called Stop the Bite. It is a clear nail polish that tastes extremely bitter and the taste lingers for a while. You could also use tobasco sause mixed in nail polish.

    The best way to help your nail grow naturally, is by putting some smashed garlic inside your enamel, it would be better if you choose a clear one,paint your nails with it once every 2 days for 3 weeks, and you will be completely satisfied with the progress. Try it is the best and fastest way to grow your nails as long as you want naturally... Special Naturalist Justin Jeezerl.

    i heard about this a long time ago and i think it works cuz i deal with computers all day long and my nails grow fast! when ever i get my nails done, they always ask if my nails are real and are amazed by it!
    There's nail polish that'll make your nails grow longer in 5 days or so.


    You can find them in drug stores or beauty supply stores, it's not really hard to find.
    It's called Magic Nail! You can get it at any drug store/target/walmart...it's excellent!! makes your nails nice and sturdy along with giving them the ability to grow like weeds!

    Any advice/product recommendations on growing your nails?

    My nails are so weak that i can fold them over. i can rip them off instead of cutting them they also will peel. Help!Any advice/product recommendations on growing your nails?
    You need to use at any rate a very good solution for brittle and weak nails. I had some problems and I started to use regularly one regime for maintaining my nails strong and healthy.





    1) Use at least twice a week lemon juice, massage gently over the nails and palms too. It is ideal for strengthening your nails and keeping them not yellowish.





    2) Apply every time before you put a nail varnish a base for growing and strengthening your nails. I do recommend you ';Manhattan'; or ';Max Factor, but of course you can use any other proven brand.





    3) Take vital vitamins and minerals, which help to restore the balance from inside out. Those are Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, Selen, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and B-group.


    It'll be easier to buy a special complex for strengthening nails and hair, as ';Revalid'; or ';Pantogar'; ( within a month you'll forget about your problem!!).





    Hope that helps!


    Wish you luck!Any advice/product recommendations on growing your nails?
    Use Nailtique #2 every day for one months. After that just use it as base and top coat. You going to have great nails.


    Nailtique cost about $10 there is a generic something like Nailtek for about $6. First moth you will use one bottle, use the real one. You can switch to the generic afterwards.
    YES gelatin tablets.they actually strenghthen your nails , so they won't split, or break.... you can buy Gelatin Tablets inexpensive at WalMart...
    How is your overall health? You may want to talk to your doctor about that, it sounds kind of serious. Otherwise, take vitamins, always wear gloves when you clean or do dishes and there is a really great product for weak nails called Nailtiques that is a base coat for under polish or you can just put a coat on every day. I buy it at a salon in the mall. Good luck.
    Increase your intake of Folic acid in a B Complex, it maintains nail growth. Also add Vitamin E to your diet, it helps promote nail health. Eat more peanuts.
    I have heard that if you drink warm jello that it makes your hair and nails grow and stronger. But Sally Henson makes a great nail hardner, That you could try. There are also some multiviatiamns that help with that.
    Use strengthener in a clear polish and take a multi-vitamin. I've been taking a One-a-Day for women, for like, a month, and my nails have grown so much. Mine also used to peel.
    yeah try to get them to stay short and they wont stop growin BELIEVE ME...
    gelatine for nails,by knox

    Has anyone try the new product from Avon peel on nails?

    I have tried them. Really easy to put on, but they only lasted 3 days and they stared peeling :-/Has anyone try the new product from Avon peel on nails?
    Yes, I liked them, but for the price and the few days they lasted I would rather just stick to old fashioned polishing. They were easy to use, and very shiny too. I will probably buy them again in the future.Has anyone try the new product from Avon peel on nails?
    no. but I got them and will soon. I hope they work as good as they say they do. have you?
    Yes, I have and they're great. They can last a long time, depending on how much stuff you put your nails through. Always put them on clean nails, and remove with nail polish remover. They're fun, like playing with stickers. Call your Avon rep for a free sample or a free trial (some will do that for you). Have fun. %26lt;*)))%26gt;%26lt;
    I haven't, but I've been thinking about it. Nice to know it sounds like they work!
    I actually have. They work good. peel off easy too.

    Is DEVA Nutrition a reputable company? And how about their product, Vegan Hair, Nails, and Skin?

    Does anyone know whether the company DEVA Nutrition (http://www.devanutrition.com) is a quality, reputable company? Has anyone tried their product, Vegan Hair, Nails, and Skin (http://www.devanutrition.com/hair_nails_鈥?/a> and had any problems with it or been pleased with it?





    Thanks!Is DEVA Nutrition a reputable company? And how about their product, Vegan Hair, Nails, and Skin?
    My wife and I have been using DEVA products for over three years. She takes the deva Multi with Iron and deva Omega-3 DHA product everyday, I take the hair nails skin product. Suggested dose is 2 per day but I only take one tablet and even that I do not take every day. Because the product is pretty much a multivitamin [with added ingredients for hair and nails] I dont feel like I should take it everyday but it is just me. Since I have DHT induced hair loss I cannot entirely rely on this product for hair loss as it does not contain any known DHT-blockers, which is not a bad thing because the product seems to be formulated for women and women do not usually have a problem with DHT hormone. I take standardized Saw Palmetto 1 tablet/day from N. Answers. to block DHT because DHT suffocates the hair follicles and stop nutrients reaching the hair root. Deva Hair Nails Skin is a good product if you are female but if you are a male you need to take additional supplements to tackle the DHT issue.





    Now for the company in general this is from their website:





    ';-DEVA鈩?Products are manufactured at GMP certified and, FDA regulated facilities to achieve high quality.





    - Products are 100% vegan, vegetarian and certified by the Vegan Society, the non-profit organization that actually invented the word ';vegan';.





    - Products are formulated with the help of physician and nutritionists for the specific dietary needs of vegans and vegetarians.





    - Affordable . ';





    as far as I know GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certification is a desirable thing and if you are a vegan they also have vegan certification.

    Does anyone recommend a product for clearing up fungal toe nails? preferably not a tablet form?

    I have never had that problem, but I have read in the paper --in a Dear Dr. column, that people have had success with Vicks Vaporub. It says to cut the toenail down as far as you can and to apply vicks vaporub daily. I think it said it would go away within a few weeks. . It also said to use on your feet for rough skin--that I have tried and it does work.Does anyone recommend a product for clearing up fungal toe nails? preferably not a tablet form?

    Canesten cream is anti fungal and is good for toe nails...
    Hello There !! i think the best way to tackle fungal infection is to use canestan foot cream and also if it very bad also try using Hc45 Cream together but use only a small amount coz it a steriod cream. After few days u should notice the difference..
    If you can get your hands on some wild garlic and rub it into your toe nails, it will go away in no time (but your feet might be a little smelly afterwards, sorry!)
    My husband had really good success with lamasil. But its a long term treatment, and it won't go away overnight.
    Creams are unfortunately no use as they do not penetrate the nail. Nail lacquers like Loceryl work well, but they are prescription only. With toe nails it needs to be applied twice weekly for about a year.
    yes there is, I remember an advert on TV about it,but I do not remember what it was called. may be a chemist will be able to tell you. I have read that application of vinegar may also be useful. soaking your feet in warm salt water (sea salt ) also helps.
    Urine - it also clears up athlete's foot as urea is a natural fungicide. Squat over a washing up bowl and then soak your feet for about 15 mins before getting into the shower. Totally natural and no harmful chemicals.
    White vinager soak your feet in that. Or try vitamin E. Give it 2 weeks see a difference
    Well I have had it for 10 years. I have been to the Doctor and what I got was little help. I find if you keep the nail trimmed low and use sand paper/emery-cloth too.


    Then daily, or twice daily, soak your toes with Listerine,


    (the mouth wash). It is a very strong disinfectant.. Also you can soak the toe area of your socks with it so it is wet with Listerine for a long time.


    I believe you can get an injection of something, but I was not offered it..... LIMSIL ????????? Lamisil ???
    No
    there is CURANAIL, like a nail varnish, says it could take upto 18 months to get rid. But not supposed to use other nail varnish on top. Not good for this time of year when your wearing sandals, and all you can see is yellow nails.

  • Is there are product that bleaches nails? I don't like polish.?

    But I like my nails to look really clean.Is there are product that bleaches nails? I don't like polish.?
    No but their is a product you an buy made by Salley Hansen and it looks like a white crayon and you wet it and run under your nails it makes them white underneath your nails and it looks clean and it makes your nails look naturally healthy. I like my nails to be free of nail polish so this is perfect .Is there are product that bleaches nails? I don't like polish.?
    use a nail buffer to lightly file off any discolorations. I use one for my fingernails and toenails. I've never heard of any nail bleach which in any case doesn't sound safe or healthy.

    What can i use to remove artificial nails that i fix at a salon without going to a salon?any product i can buy

    Go to a professional to get them off ...if you cannot afford this .......go to a beauty supply .........To remove enhancements you want to buy Pure Acetone...... NEVER PRY THEM OFF !!! This can cause major damage to the nail and nail bed!!! If you currently have artificial nails....file off top layer only to remove shine , reduce length ...then soak in ceramic or metal bowl.....takes about 30-50 min depending on thickness .......I'd recommend you do not do professional nail services ( artificial nails ) on your self ( without proper schooling )as this could cause many problems......give your self a good manicure and a nice polish and they should look greatWhat can i use to remove artificial nails that i fix at a salon without going to a salon?any product i can buy
    acetone nail polish remover, soak them for a while then start taking offWhat can i use to remove artificial nails that i fix at a salon without going to a salon?any product i can buy
    Nail polish remover.
    Hey it's No*no


    Well the only way I know is how my aunt did it. She just let them grow out. G.B.
    Acetone. First clip as much off as you can. Then soak in an acetone based nail polish remover. Get a metal nail file and pry the nails loose around the sides. You may have to keep soaking them, but they will eventually loosen up and come off. It really is a big hassel,. but so much easier than getting them taken off at the salon.
    try soakin them in nail polish remover that has acetone in it

    Is this a good product for dog's nails?

    Just seen this advertised on TV %26amp; was wondering if anyone has used it %26amp; if it is better than the regular dog nail clippers?


    http://www.peticure.com/demos.html





    ThanksIs this a good product for dog's nails?
    I use a Dremel on my dog's nails and have for many years. It keeps them shorter and smoother. The Peticure just has a cover over their Dremel and you can buy the cover seperate if you want. There is a great site where Dremeling is explained, DoberDawn..Is this a good product for dog's nails?
    I also use a dremmel tool. I do like the guide that is advertised (the difference between peticure and a dremmel tool is the guide/color basically) but with care I don't need one. It is quicker to file/grind than clip (make sure the belt doesn't heat up too much) and you can round the nail instead of cutting it square.





    ETA: For anyone who has a dog with longer hair on their paws/legs you can take a pair of knee-high nylons and pop their nails through. I learned that trick for painting the pups nails (she brings me the polish now...dorky girl:D) but it also works for keeping hair out of the belt while filing nails.
    Since I started using the dremel I will never go back to using clippers again. You can get a dremel at home depot or lowes.


    The dremel is the best thing in the world I can do all my dogs nails in less then 15 minutes.





    I wouldn't mind having a guard on the dremel though so it would get caught in the dog's hair. I have got the dremel accidentally caught in my dogs because it is so long.
    i use a Dremel pet tool. I have a Doberman Pinscher, and this is what I use on her. It is about the same as that peticure..but it doesnt have the gaurd on it. I prefer these grinding tools over clippers because it is virtually painless for the dog, and its easier NOT to hit the quick, because you can actually see the quick before you hit it...and my dog has black toenails.


    I bought mine from


    JeffersPet.com


    and paid under $30 for the tool with replacement bands.
    Yep, it's a fancy Dremel! I just started using a dremel on my dog because she hates having her nails clipped and I'm sick of accidentally quicking her. She likes it a bit better. With Dobes, I don't think you need to worry so much about the hair winding - unless your Dobies' paws are ridiculously hairy! The DoberDawn website is awesome and would give you a nice picture of what it'd look like on your dogs too. :)





    ETA: Apparently I need to lay down on my squirmy dog... Oh, this will be fun...
    A fancy Dremmel.....





    I dremmel my dogs nails, it works well. But it's more time consuming than just clipping them.

    I once wore acrylic nails (last yr). Now my nails are weak. Any product suggestions to grow natural nails?

    My nails grow. They break across the skin after growing maybe a quarter inch beyond my skin.I once wore acrylic nails (last yr). Now my nails are weak. Any product suggestions to grow natural nails?
    You are going to want you nails to be bendy but not brittle and the best was to accomplish that is by applying cuticle oil each night. There are a lot of excellent ones available just find a scent that you enjoy. You can also try using Nail Envy by OPI, that helped after I had my solar nails removed. It may take a little while but you can get healthy nails. You might also want to consider taking a vitamin supplement...healthy bones=healthy nails and all.I once wore acrylic nails (last yr).

    Take Gelatin Caplets, Vitamin E, Biotin, Hydrolyzed Collagen and apply Sally Hansen's ';Hard as Nails';.
    your nails have been weakened by the acrylic product. try a brand of nail formulas called ';nail tek';. They are a little pricey, but are formulated for growing out your natural nails after damage. Try finding them at sally's beauty supply. Or have your hair dresser get you some from barnum.
    nutra nail and gelatin the one that is odorless and colorless. i usually apply nutra nail on at night, but i soak my hands in the gelatin and water for a few minutes usually once a week. I normally soak them while I am watching a 30 minute show on t.v. the gelatin makes the nail hard and less prone to break. I learned this from a lady while i was out shopping one day. I have since then applied this to my everyday life and so far so good.
    There is a super product called ';Hard As Nails'; by Sally Hansen, in every chemist and it worked for me.
    If you are looking for something cheap AND good, try Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails. This seems to work best, and the price is right. If you are willing to spend an arm and a leg, a lot of other options are available out there at various salons and the like.
    You know what helps plenty of calcium. My nails did the same thing when I tried Acrylics, too . I drink a lot of milk and I use Loreal's ';Grow Strong'; works pretty good for me. I file my nails and use cuticle oil so you can nourish the cuticles, too.
