I don't know any way around this except for time. I had multiple problems during and after taxol with herceptin (in 2005)- infections, black nails, nails falling off, you name it. At this point most of my nails are fine but I still have one or two that just never grew in correctly (both on my feet- hands are o.k. now). I am not sure I would do much in the way of using nail polish, etc. right now. I think I might just wait it out- but ask your medical team. It seems like mine did not want me covering things up, which might add to my problems.
