If you are absolutely sure that you are putting all the necessary nutrients on your plate regularly, here are some external factors you should check out that may be causing harm to your nails-

1. Toxic nail paints.  Choose herbal products, and even then, do not keep them on your nails for too long. Let your nails breathe once in a while.

The Nile Nail Serum to develop strong, supple and healthy nails. Enriched with flaxseed oil which contains keratin, minerals, fatty acids and anti-oxidants that promote nail growth

2. Acetone-based removers. Acetone is a key ingredient in most nail polish removers and even some enamels. If you change your nail colours frequently, this chemical alone is doing a lot of harm. 

This is why we would recommend the Kara Nail Polish Remover Wipes which are 100 percent acetone-free and natural. With fruity extracts and hydrating formulas, say goodbye to regular nail paint removers and get this value pack today!

3. The cuticle dilemma. Chances are that you have been made to believe that cuticles are unnecessary and unsightly. These bits of skin at the base of your nails are essentially protective shields from water, bacteria and fungi. The most you should do is just push them back and slightly trim them.

You can use the 2 in 1 cuticle trimmer and nail file tool by Vega for this. It is a specialized precision tool designed to give you a good grip and keep your nail beds neat.

When you do end up trimming your cuticles, make sure to give them some extra love and care afterwards! Using Vikson International’s Nail Nutrition and Cuticle Revitalizing Pen, you can do that very easily!
