My goal was to know in what condition and with what treatment nails grow the most. I supposed that a nail polish made form calcium and protein would help the most because nails are made of a type of protein called keratin. Therefore it would have an excessive amount of nutrients. My hypothesis was rejected with the results of the experiment. Every week the measurements varied, seeming quite unpredictable. The marine actives formulated nail polish enhanced the length of the nails the most, the calcium and protein formula second, and the natural nails third. I noticed that these products that promote nail growth really do increase the speed of nail growth as compared to leaving them natural.
Many mistakes could have occured during the process of this experiment and that would have made quite a difference in how the results were obtained. For example, if the proper nail polish was not applied to the proper nail, the data is inaccurate. Also, after each week you could have made a mistake by not removing the previous layer of nail polish and applying an extra coat. As well, the diet of the individual could be completely different in comparison to another, therefore the same effects would not apply to them. To extend this experiment, I think that I could use more types of nail polishes, other treatments (such as how a certain diet effects the growth of a nail), and more than one person. That way there would be more to compare, and there would be a specific way to accomplish the enhancement of anyone's nal growth.
