The doctor told me to only to use clear polish on my nails. I did that on my hands but put nothing on my feet. I got a big black mark under one big toe nail that is slowly growing out.

I put Mavala Nailactan on my nails to hydrate and moisturize them as they were very dry and splitting at the ends. Seems to be working well.

We were told dark nail varnish helped? ❤️Xx Jane

I found that ordinary cuticle oil really helped nails to recover from the dryness and splitting.

I used tea tree oil on both my toenails and fingernails. Seems to have kept them from coming off during weekly Taxol treatments.
