It's clearly a pseudo-Freudian hotdog deficiency, sometimes called Frankfurter Syndrome.
Girl, you and the bunny just need to take a break.
Truth be told, I'd suspect that your diet is failing you. Keratin, the protein that makes up fingernails, is under control of eicosanoids. They're the hormone-like substances that are formed from polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as prostaglandins.
If you're deficient in PGE1, or excessive in PGE2, then fingernail growth is adversely affected.
You need fish oil, and gammalinoleic acid. I know, fish have faces. Tough, honey. Buck up. Or get some Neuromins, the algae-based vegetarian source DHA oil. I can still hear the algae screaming, as they were blended into a paste. That's what inspired Munch, btw.
GLA is in borage, black currant seed, and evening primrose oils.
By the way, if your nails are in tough shape, so are your arteries. Think heart disease. Think atherosclerosis. Fish oil will reverse that, too.
It takes three months or so for the nail to grow out, so don't be looking for quick changes.
