Brittle Nails and Nerve Endings

I've quit biting my nails. It's a miracle.....for NOW.

The thing is, I've gotten acrylic nails at the salon for like the last 18 years. I love having them, but now I'm too cheap and let's face it. I cannot play my guitar as well - if at all - with them on. My uncle is about to disown me over that little minor detail. "How are you ever gonna be a serious Guitar Player with those GIIIIIRRRRRLY things on?"...so I have pryed them off for the last time. And it's been about 3 weeks.

My nails are PAPER THIN. I'm not kidding! Really thin and RAZOR SHARP! It's horrible. I'm keeping them painted right now because if they weren't painted they would be chewed down to little nubbins by now. And I really want to keep this promise to myself.

I always thought...if I could get skinny and grow my nails - I could be one hot momma. Sooo..I Need help! My nails are so thin that I can't stand it. I need them to get strong like NOW! So...I'm open to trying a few things. Whatever you suggest. I need ideas on how to strengthen my nails.

I can tell you two things....I don't want to take any kind of pills. And I don't need any nail biting advice. I strictly need ideas on things I can put ON MY NAILS to get them strong.

Okay....thanks...I love you...I really do...yo can ask anyone! ~ Carm
