You know this nail problem business is a real minefield, as someone already said. What works for one doesn't work for someone else and vise versa.
I have used the nailtiques formulas and found initially they worked, my nails started to grow. But then when they grew I have a definite dip forming at the base of the nail. As the nails grew this was a real weak point, so every one of them split off. I have tried almost every nail treatment on the market, currently using one meant for horses hooves!! Okay so I'm desperate lol. I also take a cod liver oil capsule and a vitamin B complex every day, but still my nails are weak and flaking.
Oh, that's interesting Buttercorn. Was it the base of the nail, i.e. the half moon that dipped or was it the base of the free edge at the sides? Just wondering as one of my nails has just split at the side where the free edge joins the nail bed
The real annoying thing is it is only for the last year to eighteen months that this has been happening. Before this I had long nails and have quite a wardrobe of coloured varnishes. But now the most I do is buff them because they look so bad. I am tempted to try and see my GP for advice and help.
Thanks for all the input, it is very interesting reading everyone elses experiences.
