Problem:  Brittle Nails

How do you know if you have brittle nails?  By definition, Brittle fingernails are a common condition, occurring in about 20 % of people; more women than men develop brittle nails.  Brittle nails usually break or peel off in horizontal layers, starting at the nail’s free end. The term brittle nails can also refer to a condition in which lengthwise splits appear in the nail. In either case, the nail’s structure is faulty.

Solution: 

Barielle Nail Strengthening Cream:  This trusted and legendary formula helps nails grow healthier and stronger while resisting splits, peels and breaks.

Also Available in .5 oz

It helps you maximize your favorite nail lacquers by making the polish adhere better to your nails. Dries to a clear, glossy finish.

3) white discoloration on the surface of the toenail which can be easily scraped away.
