My nails have gotten really weak and they peel a lot and before they NEVER peeled. Why are they peeling? But, that white thing on the bottom of your nails, I dont have it, is that a good sign?

Well, I stopped drinkin milk in February because I never really like it that much but all of a sudden I hated it. But, I take womans one a day calcium pills and gummy bear vitamin calcium pills(lol). I also take other vitamins...Is there just no substitute for milk??

You need more calcium and vtamins
If you take a vitamin and 3 glasses of milk a day for 1 week your nails should get better

Your nails may have gotten weak because your intake in calcium and other vitamins that help maintain stronger nails and hair have decreased over the past couple of weeks. Try thinking about your diet and daily routines prior to the start of the peeling... then try to resort back to those habits. Until then, I suggest Sally's nail hardener or other nail polish that may contain vitamins or strengthener. Also, try to incorporate vitamins/veggies into your daily routine

The other possible causes of peeling nails are using nail clippers which separate the nail layers and exposure to water which dry out the nails.
Here's a video on how to best file & buff your nails: http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-file-and-buff-your-nails
Protect your nails w/ a cuticle oil or even plain lip balm.
Avoid products w/ toluene or formaldehyde because they are hard on your nails.

Are you using the gel hand sanitizers? They make your nails peal and very week. Sally Hansen makes products for your problem
