The Dominican Secret for Tough Nails
The Dominican Secret for Tough Nails In the Dominican Republic, you'll be hard-pressed to find a woman with weak or splitting nails. Her secret? Dominican women rely on garlic to keep their nails healthy and strong. They chop up garlic, add it to a bottle of clear nail polish, and let it steep for a week (Eventually, the scent goes away). Garlic has natural antibacterial qualities, so it keeps away fungus, too.

Try this: Barielle Growth Activator for Natural Nails, $16. This nail strengthener is formulated with garlic enzymes to stimulate nail growth, and safflower seed oil to repair existing damage, which is good news for those of us who get acrylic or gel nails on the reg.
