If your fingernails are soft , brittle and crack easily, here's a way to reverse this problem. Great answer for those who like to use fingernails for picking instead of guitar picks.



Go to your local pharmacy and buy Decolorized Iodine. Also know as white iodine. Walmart has it in quantity at a reasonable price.



Use a Q-tip or small brush to apply white iodine to fingernails from nail beds to tips and under tip ends 2 to 3 times a day for a week then 3 times a week thereafter as needed for maintenance.



You should see positive results shortly. Worked for me.

This is the first I heard of white iodine, DBChimer! I will definitely try it. Topically.



I've been mixing gelatin packets from the Wal-Mart baking aisle into cereal and whatever; I heard somewhere that helps harden nails; it's my opinion that it does.



Consume it - I don't think gelatin works applied directly to the nails :-)
