My nails are brittle and peeling?

i have the same issue, i have heard taking gelatin helps, i haven't tried it myself since the job i have now i have to keep my nails short or they will get in the way. i know they are not too expensive and you can get them at any drug store, hope that helps, and if it does please let me know---when i can grow them out it'll be nice to have a plan of action! :))
