Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After 25 years of acrylic nails I found my real ones to be even more awful than they were originally. Duh!! Splitting, peeling, thin as paper. I tried gel polishes to protect...they peeled more. I tried strengtheners, ridge fillers, cuticle and nail balms. You name it, I tried it. I got this product and only used the first bottle and gave up. Then I remembered that everyone said to be patient and I tried again. It has been 4 straight months of faithfulness. At least one application a day and sometimes two. The two bottles will last for 3 months if you don't do two applications every day. My advice: clip your nails right down to the quick and keep them there while you wait for new growth from the nail bed on up. Since nails only grow about 3.5 mm a month it will probably take 4-6 months for you to have all new treated nails, from top to bottom. If you continue trying to keep the length of the weaker nail you'll get discouraged. Just clip them ladies! I am just now seeing a change. I am not being careful with the nails so I still suffer some breakage. I am not one to use rubber gloves or treat my hands like little jewels. I don't polish the nails as that just seems to dry them out. I have not yet experienced super flexible but super tough long nails. I don't know that I will ever get there. But the improvement is amazing. Considering that I was spending anywhere from $50 to $75 a month on acrylic nails which are unhealthy for you, this product is a bargain. And the bonus is that I can now pick up my dropped credit card or change without asking for assistance. Oh and one more little tip: the bottles are tiny and tip easily. Don't let that happen to this precious fluid! Glue a quarter to the bottom of the bottle and it will practically weather a hurricane. Kinda. :-)
