Only to the degree that your genetics allow. That is it is difficult to over come thin nails if you did not inherit the genes for thick nails. If your genes give you thick wavy hair you will not be able to make fine straight hair grow out of your scalp, see? But you can make the most of your nails by eating properly, drinking sufficient water and taking care of them. Most nail polishes that say they strengthen do so by drying the nails so they seem stronger. That works for some but if you notice them getting dry, peeling and cracking more, stop using that product. Most oils will add flexibility (and are great for cuticles), the olive oil treatment is great but I'd avoid the lemon juice, citrus is drying. Massage is great to increase circulation in the nail beds and can stimulate growth (it will take four months to notice the difference). Don't buff the surface if the nail is thin, buffing removes nail. Experiment to see if your nails do better with or without polish, try LCD and OPI. Use non acetone polish remover and don't change polish too often (more than every four days) if you can avoid it. Your nails, like hair, are affected by stress, B complex can help (if it is safe for you to take) and practice de-stressing. If you have naturally thin nails, make the best of it, keep them short and neat (not everyone needs claws), pick soft colors that don't show wear at the edges and keep cuticles neat (don't cut healthy cuticle).
