A definiency of zinc and iron can lead to weak nails as can a lack of good fats in the diet. Personally speaking I've always found that my nails, skin and hair are in tip top shake when I'm taking in fish oils supplements.

Drinking a shot of aloe vera juice with your breakfast (or whenever suits you I guess) also greatly improves the condition of your skin, hair and nails.....my mum's reflexologist recommended it to her and now she swears by it, and my mum is fairly skeptical about these things!!
