Just this past September I decided to jump back in and really do some research on what products would be best. I chose to try out Sally Hansen's Nail Nutrition - Green Tea & Bamboo Strength, a cheap find you can pick up at your local drug store. Of course it took some weeks to start seeing concrete results, but my nails really have become much more durable and because of this no longer break excessively. They do not bend or chip and grow out very nicely.
If you are trying to strengthen fragile, brittle nails, here are some quick and easy steps to get you on the road to recovery:

1. Set up your basic products: You will need a nail file/buffer, cotton pads, and of course Sally Hansen's Nail Nutrition coating. (If you have any residue on your nails, start off by cleaning them with nail polish remover and a fresh cotton pad. You can also follow these steps by using the product as a top coat over your nail colour).

2. File, Smooth and Buff: Get your nails in shape! File down/shape your rough edges and even-out the surface of your nails. Wipe away residue with the cotton pads and finish up a nice shiny look with your buffer.

3. Apply: Starting from the cuticle, apply a drop of Nail Nutrition to the nail in an upwards direction. Take your time and try to apply as evenly as possible, covering the entire nail surface. Repeat for each nail, let dry and add a second coat.

Voila! Some very simple steps you can fit into any schedule. For best results, you should repeat this process every 3 to 4 days and remove all coats with nail polish remover every week. Make sure you keep at it to avoid breakage!
I've tested many products but have only really generated results with this one here. As a lover of the Sally Hansen brand, I would strongly recommend their Green Tea & Bamboo Nail Nutrition coating to anyone with fragile and damaged nails... Give it go!
