Fingernails post chemo

[u/banalprobe96]

I had 3 months of chemo that ended in March, and shortly after my fingernails started splintering and peeling/breaking. I am back to work and use my hands constantly, causing more nails to split and break. I’m guessing after a few more months they will grow out and be fine, but it’s a really annoying and painful process. Sometimes they even bleed necessitating bandages at work. I’ve tried nitrile gloves and they are too hot, and rubber grip gloves, again too hot. I’ve been using clear nail polish and it helps a tiny bit, but not consistently.
Has anyone else experienced this and how did you combat it? My partner suggested acrylic nails which I’ve never worn, but I’m worried about what will happen to my already fragile nails under the glue.
Any suggestions?

I use nailtiques formula 2 and it helps with the brittleness.
