Hi Superwhy,
I too had TCH chemo, finished last November and my nails are still in a state. Very weak with big not very straight white tips Image removed. I have had shellac done several times since end of chemo. It's probably not the best idea but I don't regret it. Shellac's are not great for nails at the best of times but hey I'd prefer to have them looking half way decent. Normal polish would probably be the better option but it's great not to have to worry about chipped nail varnish for two weeks. I say go for it girl, plus there are some gorgeous pastel colours available for summer Image removed.
