One thing that will help your natural nails is drinking fresh brewed green tea. I really got into doing this for a while for the antioxydents, for heart health. I read you could live longer drinking green tea. My nails got much thicker and stronger, less brittle but I did not get the connection until I read recently that green tea can strengthen your nails. Just a thought.

That's an interesting point, Marilyn. I've been drinking Green Tea for the last month or so for heart health and didn't notice until I read this that my nails really are stronger!
I had acrylic nails from the time I was 14 until about 6 months ago - I'm 23 now. I would take them off for a couple months here and there, but they were mostly always on. I like to let them breathe and grow out every now and then though. I'm going to have them put on again this afternoon!
