puddi....more of a sign of iron deficiency anaemia than a vitamin deficiency. See your GP who will probably arrange a blood test.

You can toughen up your nails by eating jelly. I found that helped when my nails went through a bout of splitting and breaking.

I have always had really soft nails. :o( They always improve in the summer. Role on summer. Will jelly babies work DaisyMae :o).

(Actually, jelly cubes are really nice to eat - the trouble is your nails improve but your teeth fall out!)
