Sally Hansen Miracle Gel (no UV light needed)-this stuff really works, and this is coming from someone who never did her nails because the polish started coming off within an hour or two. I am working on day 4 of my manicure, and so far it still looks great.
Does it stop your nails from breaking? Mine always break off.
I don't know about that, my nails are hard as rocks so I can't tell you.Originally Posted by Angiebla
So, I'm trying to get my natural nails in order and that's a TALL ORDER. I basically shred the shit out of my nails with my work and I've been trying to protect them with the treatments and gel top coats. I used to do the fake nails, but they were horrible for my natural nails. However my natural nails are HORRENDOUS. They're thin, feeble and peel like crazy.
I've tried everything. The vitamins, the care, the everything. I'm not giving up on them. Tonight I'm treating my "stubs" to the nail oil and the "Horse n Hoof" and the strengthening formulas. After that I paint them and then top them off with the gel coat.
I honestly don't know what else I can do. Is there some kind of miracle cure to peeling? Or am I just that unhealthy that I can't stop it? I dream of just medium length natural nails that are healthy.

I know you said you tried 'the supplements,' but have you tried collagen peptides? My friend swears by them. She started giving them to her husband for dry skin issues and the results were pretty amazing. Based on his results she started using them for her nails.
I've got soft nails too, and when they start to get long, they crack and peel. I tried the collagen peptides, but I gag when I try to drink them. I keep swearing I'll get back to them though. Some day.

I used to be a nail tech, waaay back in the day. my nails suck though. Any moisterizing helps. Rub cuticle oil on your nails and use hand lotion. Try to use a moisturing hand soap.
I take vitamins and my nails still peel and break. I keep them pretty short these days.
My nails used to look nice and my hair did too when I used prenatal vitamins.

I religiously use the nail oil and moisturizer. Also Horse n Hoof. I also sleep with special hand mittens overnight at least a couple of days per week. Although I've always had horrible nails, it's gotten worse lately. Probably because of my health, but I'm working on that too.

Yeah medical conditions can cause changes in the nail that cannot be remedied. Im sorry.
