Nail nightmare!!

Please help! My nails grow super fast, but they are so delicate they break super easily.  I used to use Sallys hard as nails, but lately it hasn't been working. Aside from taking pre natal vitamins, does anyone have any recs? And my cuticles stink! What do you use?

    I'm just going to get acrylic tips, and let my nails grow under them.

    haha I'm guessing she meant that they suck...?  (not actually smell bad lol)  

    I use cuticle oil when I'm trying to be good about taking care of my nails.  I was actually told once that that can help strengthen your nails more than nail polish.  It's like using conditioner on you hair rather than just putting a hat on to protect it :)

    I dont know why but that nail hardening stuff actually makes my nails fall apart! I would maybe try not using it for a while.

    thanks, ladies! Amanda, what oil do you use? I have tried sally hansen, but it doesn't really work. Although, i did try sally hansen cuticle massage cream, which has been helping!

    Do you take vitamins at all? I started taking a regular multivitamin and noticed a huge improvement in nail strength. Regular manicures also helped.
