Nails suffer from many problems such as discoloration, splitting, cracking, thickening, ridges etc. Some of the problems are the effect on nails because of some diseases in the body.
Nail problems also arises due to lack of protein and vitamins as if you lack Vitamin A and calcium it will cause your nails to become dry and brittle. If you lack protein, Vitamin C and folic acid these deficiencies will cause hang nails. White line across the nail means protein deficiency, cracked nails shows you have a deficiency of water. Lack of zinc causes white spotted nails.
For better and healthy nails a person have to include many things in the diet like 50% of the raw fruits and vegetables. Fish, broccoli, onions and whole grains. Liquid diet like juices and drinking lot of water should be added to the routine.

*Dont use your nails for opening the can its not a opener, it,s a delicate part of your hands.
*Never file your nails when its wet as there is a risk of breakage at that point of time.

*Using a cotton bud (swab) with a pointed end, clean under your nails – it’s gentler than scrubbing with a nail brush.

Good information.
I came across many queries in several forums where people have been asking for advice on the best glue that can be used on nails and that is not only strong but also safe on nails. This was the same question I had sometime back when I used to apply nail gel myself. Initially the glue I got would never hold on the way it used to when done in the salon. I then came across the nail glue being sold on gel-nails which lasts very long and is pretty easy to apply. It provides a strong bonding for my nails and also does a great job in repairing the nail tips.
Most important of all is that this is strong glue I was actually looking out for and this is used by nail salons and nail artists for professional applications. It is available at a cheap price at gel-nails and I remember seeing it at a discount of 74% which is great. Maybe this can help if you also face problems relating to poor glue quality as I did earlier.
