Arrow weak nails

all my life i've had weak, bendy nails. they're always uneven and ripping and tearing, and i can't wear nail polish because that dries them out even more. Anyone know how to cure this?

i've experimented with the strengthener polishers and they didn't do a damn thing except irk my pocketbook.

Maybe i need more calcium.. i know it might be hereditary since my mom and gramma both have weak nials, but you should be able to do SOMETHING, right?

I looked on google for weak nails nd this one site said to drink a spoonful of gelatin and water every day for 3 weeks... um... is that safe?? Another site said to rub oil on them. weird.

actually that oil thing might work. Well I don't know what kind of oil they were referring to but my aunt started using baby oil instead of lotion and she said her nails got a lot stronger. Weird.
