Peeling nails

[pastafreak]

my nails are a mess! Hands in water a lot and though I weear gloves my nail are becoming multi-layered. I have tried everything on offer...�5 to �15and nothing works. In fact some seem to make the problem worse. I want my girlie nails back! Not claws...just nice tips. Any suggestions???...MUST be my own!

pasta - Is the 'hands in water' job related? Can you get hold of some of those very long up to your elbow gloves? I have the same problem, I am a cleaner & the ordinary gloves can let water in. My nails are in a poor condition. I'm thinking of trying some olive oil rubbed into them last thing before I go to bed.

I wear nice heavy duty Marigolds but my hands seem to 'sweat' in them...nails look so bad I need to wear nail varnish just to cover them up. Help! will consider the olive oil tho.

Hi pasta i had the same problem i went on a short course of calcium tablets worked a treat

Yes, I was also thinking about that, maybe your nails are this way not only because of the water, but some lack of vitamin? in my case I have hypothyroidism and so they tend to get weak like paper and break, even when I am not doing the washing up a lot...

How is it going down there in Plymouth, pasta? I think we should stay in touch, you seem very nice and we come from the same side of the ocean, hehehe! Happy Easter for you! :o)

Thanks for the advice mammie-I hadn't thought of vitamins and minerals. I shall pay a visit to Holland and Barratt tomorrow. And ReinaLuna...it is great to hear from a fellow 'alien'....I never know where you will pop up! I have a crazy Cuban sister-in-law.....are Brasilians as manic? I mean that in the best sense

[ReinaLuna]

huahuahuaha grrrrrr I am offended! lol!
don't worry I'm not one of those freaks that get offended with everything... I don't know exactly what you mean by maniac in this case but when I come here I look many different sections, mostly the body & soul, family and society & culture ones... that's why maybe we keep meeting?
Ah, as a lawyer I visit Law a lot too!
You won't see me around in business or home & garden though, so, if you want to escape from me, that's the hint where you should go ;o)
just joking!!!

[pastafreak]

Ah,RL...you are the woman who never sleeps! I thought i was bad with my inability to tear my self away from stuff,whether this sight,mags,newspapers,books or late-nite snacking! Yes-i hit the same sights as you plus food...an obsession of mine as i have worked with it on and off for the last few years......O!...i hope i did not offend you with my manic comment....
