Hi all,
Does anyone know a fix for nails that peel?? It is not the polish, but the actual nail.
Thanks a bunch!

I have always suffered from soft and bendy, peeling nails, but after a year of taking silica/brewers yeast/seaweed flour tablets (that apparently can’t be found outside of Scandinavia) my nails have become a LOT stronger and I can grow them to longer than what I find comfortable
Try silica. I get 12 mgs per day and couldn’t live without it

ok. I've been googling on the subject. BAsically:
1) don't paint your nails too much with colors while trying to grow them out (except I paint mine black to keep from biting them)
2) try not to use nail polish remover too much and NEVER soak your nails in it, this dries them out. If you need remover, try to find a nourishing one.
3) Jessica's Fusion seems to work well. I haven't used it that long, but it's like a shield of armor for your nails. It protects them and keeps them from peeling
4) don't be tempted to slide one fingernail under the other and peel of layers. This is a no-no
5) wash your hands after using the restroom, etc. , but PROPERLY, with SOAP. Pat dry.
6) each time you wash your hands, rub a little lotion in.
7) spend a little time each day, maybe when watching TV to massage your hands with lotion. It improves circulation
8) don't forget your cuticles. find some cuticle oil/cream and rub it in regularly
9) Buff nails occasionally. Supposedly this increases strenght, but it does make them look shiny.
-k, hope I helped. Good luck.
