Re: My nails are still a mess

Hi Donna,

I have been doing the Shellac manicures for about 3-4 years. For me, they have strengthened my nails. I know for some people it is not good for their nails, but for me, it has helped. They are hard, grown quickly (since I've been off Herceptin) and are great. Some people alternate between Shellac and regular manicures ( 3 or 4 Shellac, 1 regular) if they feel their nails need a break.

Good luck!

all the best
caya

Donna - First, make sure you are eating enough calories from all the macros. All the vitamins in the world are not going to make a difference unless you are getting enough calories.

The Beauty Brains are science based. Maybe they have some good tips.
