classical players. nail help??

[best.album.ever]

hello all

 

ive always kind of had weak nails, and now that im studying classical guitar as my principal instrument, i need to start taking better care of them. i've been told that gelatin capsules will help nail growth and strength, does anyone else use them.

 

any other advice other than just file often.

 

thanks

Ask women what they use to keep nails strong.

Gelatin capsules and Glucosamine/Chondroitin tablets seem to have anecdotal support regarding efficacy. Wouldn't advise the Glucosamine if you're diabetic however.

i've been using Sally Hansen's "Hard as Nails" for a few years. great stuff.....although it leaves your nails nice and shiny

This isn't a joke. Go to a vet ot a store that sell supplies for horses. They sell a product called hoof builder. It is a cream that they put on horses hooves to make them tougher. Many of the products used for nail strength use this in them.
