The site is in mid-migration now (manual migration of over 7,000 entries, so there's a lot to be done.)

Why won’t my nails grow?

I keep trying to grow my nails out - just a little bit, maybe 1/4 inch beyond the quick. You'd think I was asking for superlong nails like Helen, or even like Leanne. No, I just want a little bit of nail that won't split, shred, or tear if I look at it sideways. I have lots of nail polish, and Konad plates, and I'd like to start playing. But it seems like when I'm ready to try a design I've seen elsewhere, or even try one of my new shades…at least two of my nails break almost down to the nub.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear they were conspiring against me.

I've always had shorter nails. I was a nail biter when I was a kid, but even so, well into my teens they tore quite easily. Any suggestions for supplements? My next door neighbor suggested green tea capsules, but those didn't seem to do a whole heck of a lot. I used OPI's Nail Envy for a bit, but again…didn't really do anything unless I used it every day, and it made a lousy base coat (the polishes chipped and peeled much more easily, even other OPI polishes.)

So - suggestions? I want to play with my pretty polishes and Konad stuff!!
