Painful split fingernails help please

Hi there Sam my nails became split broken and fragile while I was on the taxol so I put acrylic nails  on them and that just gave the nail underneath time to grow and heal. The acrylics weren’t long but just acted as a buffer for my finger tips. It helped heaps . I had them on for about 5 months and  now just have them done with the gel polish which is great to help keep them strong I finished chemo oct last year.  Make sure you go somewhere decent to get them done though to reduce your infection risk.
