I used to paint my nails every week when I was a hair dresser back like almost 20 years ago (eek! I am old!).
Anyhow, my nails were always thin and in bad shape. So, I would paint them and add false nails, paint on that stuff that is supposed to make your nails thick and strong. One day, I stopped and they started growing thick and like weeds. (it took a several months for them to recover).
Nail polish and the removers contain tons of bad stuff that will dry out your nails and make them week and thin and break off. Don't be fooled by those 'nail strenghteners' either.
If you want to keep painting your nails, try to find stuff without the chemicals in it (acetone is horrible!). I believe vegan essentials sells removers and polishes. But IMHO, to stop painting your nails will be the best thing you can do for them.
One thing too is that before I went vegan is I used to have those white 'calcium' stains on my nails. They are gone now.
