Anyone know anything about nails (as in the ones on your fingers) My tips go see through instead of white. Any reason? How can I make them white?

Prob just a little on the thin side
I would buy a clear strenghening varnish and near them you will usually find white nail pencils which I wet and run along the underside of my nail to make the tips whiter
Hope that helps

Thanks, I wear clear most of the time or they break.

I'd say they were too thin too That or your nails are wet

Is there anything I can do? Nothing edible, but any lotions or potions that anyone can recommend?

Nail Envy, nail eat and drink is fab from QVC

Its a bit expensive, but well worth it. I have used it for a few months now and my nails are a lot better than they were :thumbup:

Mine are see through too. I was told it was because i used to bite my nails and that makes them weak

I use nail hardener which is great I think My nails were ruined through work though as they were either always covered in grease or were in water

Do you wear rubber gloves when you wash up or when using hot water? My nails are quite long but i do end up breaking them when they are a certain lenght because i will not use gloves.

I used to not wear gloves and that's how it happened. Now I wear gloves and it still happens :scared:

Eat jelly and lots of it!! It really works :thumbup: its the gelotine thingy in it! Makes nails strong and healthy :thumbup:

Easy and cheap...............a cube of jelly every day, will take about two to three weeks to start seeing the benefit. But I always used to take them daily, and my nails were very strong without being brittle, I have white nails now and dont need the jelly anymore. My daughers take it too. Have a try.
You can also buy body salts from Health Shops for Hair and Nails, they dont taste like salt so dont worry and they are only small, dont know how much they are now, but were about £4.99

Mum said, that its a lack of Iron that makes your nails thin and liable to snap. Mum is a beautician!

i was going to suggest rubber gloves too, my nails are good and strong untill i start cleaning etc, but im an idiot who wont wear rubbers as i find them very uncomfortable.
