I have bitten my nails since I was a very small child (I'm 30 now) and now I'm really focusing on this bad habit to break it. Problem is though that my nails are very brittle and bend and break easily plus they are very thin. Is there anything I can do or use to help to strengthen them and to make them thicker so they won't break? I'm using gel acrylics right now to help me with the stopping to bite them and they are growing out long under them. But the acrylics are expensive to have retouched up every 3 weeks. Any suggestions?
