Long healthy-looking nails make your hands look professional and give you a well-groomed look. Long nails can make your fingers look longer, and you can dress up your nails by painting them and applying details such as stickers or tiny beads to them. Growing out your nails can take some time; however, if you work hard to protect your nails you can avoid having to start over with the growing out process.

Drink water and put moisturizer creams on your nails to keep them hydrated and healthy. Well-hydrated nails are less likely to break and crack.

Eat healthy, nourishing foods and take vitamins to help your nails become strong. Follow the recommendations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's "Choose My Plate" website. Include items from all of its food groups in your diet.

File your nails and clip off any hangnails. If you have nails with a rough edge or hangnails, they could snag on things, causing them to chip or break. Use tools other than your nails when attempting to scrape something clean or open a pull-tab can.

Paint your nails with clear nail hardener polish or colored polish to help protect them from chipping and cracking and to strengthen them.
