grow my nails

So I grew them, and for a while it was all lovely and goodness, and then in the past week one by one they have chipped, broken and generally gone to shit

Now im a patient kinda girl, i can appreciate that growing my nails can take time and effort but jesus [insert sware word] christ!!

I was soooo close!! gah!

Come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever had really nice nails. When I was younger I used to bite them until they were down to the skin without even realising I was doing it.

I did get false nails years ago for a short while but they proved to ruin my nails further when I decided to stop getting them.

So anyway about two and a bit years ago I stopped biting them and for a while I had quite acceptable nails, granted they were weak, but they were longer at least and I no longer looked like I had man hands.

^{When I say man I don’t mean they are huge or anything… I mean its not that I have massive shreck hands (wrist to index finger my hand is only 6inch long), its just long nails are so much more feminine and pretty}

I found it pretty easy to stop at the time but then back in March this year I bit them all off when I ended the relationship I was in. Stupid I know… since then they have never got past the 4mm mark without them snapping, breaking, chipping and they are never, and I mean never all the same length

Im pretty sure that my constant biting of my nails when I was younger must have weakened the nail bed so now whenever they grow they just break so quickly… anyone got any amazing tips to make them grow faster/stronger and basicly strengthen them?
