    My nails were brittle and peeling and I tried nearly everything on the market to try and cure it. I had a major improvement when I stopped using any form of nail polish - even the nail strengthening ones. Within about 2 months my nails were nearly normal.

    I agree, all that happens with the nail products is that they grow a bit and then when they peel or snap its worse
    my nails are same as my mums - so assume its genetic I just keep them out of water and use lots of oil on the cuticles and handcream. Its helps but I will never have nice nails. In fact, am thinking of giving up and having false ones

    hi ladies, not sure if it's been mentioned earlier but my nan also suffers from brittle nails and she swears by eating jelly cubes, maybe a pack a weak until they get better. juat thought i'd share, suppose it's cheaper than nail creams and lotions etc .
    Making small changes, hoping they will last....
