Hi. So, I had my bypass 6.5 months ago, and my nails are in terrible shape. Peeling and splitting. I like to wear nail polish, but it just doesn't stay. A day or two after polishing them the polish starts chipping and flaking off! Any suggestions for improving my manicure? I just started taking biotin for my nails, and hair loss, but I'm sure it takes months to see improvement. Thanks!

I’m taking Biotin with collagen.

@Healthy_life2 I've just been taking biotin. Do you mind me asking if you are supplementing with collagen and if so, what brand/type do you use or is it a combo pill/patch/capsule has BOTH biotin AND Collagen in it?

I'm worried about not just my nails but my hair. I already have horribly thin hair due to early menopause, blood thinners, etc. - of course I try to ensure I hit protein goals for hair...does protein help with nails too?

Hi, FluffySaysForkIt. Just wanted to say I ordered a powder dip nail kit and plan to do it on Saturday. I'm nervous! Any last minute tips you've learned from doing it yourself? How many hours should it take me? Wish me luck!
