Thanks for those tips.

Great tips. I must be really lucky, I hardly do anything to my nails and they grow super quick and I always look like I have a natural french manicure. One thing I can add, is typing is a good thing if you want your nails to grow nicely. The constant tapping stimulates all the blood vessels and helps your nails to grow.
