I have purchased a green tea extract based nail strengthener and I will be using that along with looking into repairing what damage I've done not eating right... At least I know it is not the vitamins that is an issue... I follow a very strict vitamin regimen (that is unfortunately lacking proper doses of Iron)... It is just the minerals I'm lacking in my diet, lol...

That's reassuring.
I'd add two thing if I may: to absorb iron it's necessary to absorb enough vitamin C, and you left it out, maybe because it was obvious...
And be careful with the green tea, it's a very affective diuretic, so it can be wrong when you lacking minerals... and also it has tannic acid which blocks the iron absorption...

I do not care for them because some women care too much about them and are afraid to work because they do not want to break one since they paid $40 to get them. Also why would I find fingernails attractive in any form. I mean does anyone say " I love your nails they turn me on"?

I am afraid I dislike these false nails very much although its obvious that if you're into designer nails with gorgeous designs that can be skilfully done might be attractive-- But not to me.

It seems to be really big business so there is a demand for them.

I cannot bear my own own nails to be long either.

No doubt the artificial ones could make a good defensive weapon LOL.

I have no idea why they should turn you on. Yes I can believe that they can be alien to work-- so easily damaged I imagine.

Yeah, I left out the vitamin C on purpose... That's one I take regularly anyways and just assumed it was a given...

As for the green tea, I forgot to mention it's just a brush on thing, like nail polish, so there is no ingestion of it... I'm thinking it can't have a negative effect that way. (although I could be wrong... Wouldn't be the first time, lol)... Thanks for the advice! :-)
