Hard as Hoof Nail Repair Patches - Nail and Cuticle Strengthening Treatment, Nail Strengthener and Growth, Nail Care, 20 Count

I’ve been using this nail strengthening cream for a little while now, and I’m really impressed with how quickly it works. A little goes a long way, which is awesome because I know this jar is going to last me a while. The coconut scent is absolutely divine — it’s light and refreshing, but not overpowering at all. Plus, the texture is silky smooth, making it super easy to apply without any mess. My cuticles feel so much more moisturized since I started using it, and I can definitely see a difference in my nails. They’re growing stronger, and I’ve noticed they’re less prone to breaking. I’m not dealing with any splitting or peeling, but I’ve seen some other reviews where people mentioned their nails still felt a little brittle. So, it might depend on your nail type, but overall, I’m seeing great results! If you're looking for something to help nourish your nails and give them a healthy boost, I’d definitely recommend this cream. It’s worked wonders for me!!

I'll start by telling you, I was an acrylic junkie starting back in 1990 and wore acrylic nails consistently until last fall. About 5 years ago I switched to the powder and then to gel nails shortly after that. After all those years of fake nails, without a break, plus I am a picker of nails when they feel like they're lifting. If all 10 nails lasted 2 full weeks I was lucky. I usually couldn't help myself and picked them off completely before going back to the salon. It was so embarrassing. My nail beds were in shambles, they were thinner than paper. After I stopped the fake nails, tasks like folding clothes were a pain, they snagged my clothing, were sensitive under warm water, and just a mess. I bit my nails to the quicks. I was wearing gloves to try and stop, and to hide my hideous fingers. I can't wear polish, even nail strengthener polish would be picked off within 3 days. I needed something I couldnt pick off, that would heal my super damaged nails, and I almost gave up. I was thinking about going back to the salon, and dreaded it, since I'm low on cash. Then I saw this product, read some reviews, and bought a jar. What a lifesaver this product has been for me. I didn't notice anything the 1st week, but I liked the gentle moisturizing feeling and the light scent. Man! In 3 weeks I started noticing my nail beds were healing. The rough scaley look was smoothing over. The peeling stopped. The sensitivity was gone. Now a tiny bit of white at the tips are growing out and I can feel them getting stronger. I am so thrilled! I have hope now that I can grow my nails out. No snagging anymore and no hiding my hands. Best yet, when I want to pick or bite my nails, I reach for my jar and start rubbing my nails with this awesome balm. I've only been using it 4 weeks, and wish I had before pics. I'll never go without it, it saved me a ton of money too, no salon visits ever again!!

UPDATE: Alas, my nails are still pretty crummy and the peeling and tearing has started again. In defense of this product, it was spring gardening and then a return to "package handling" in the warehouse that has reignited my nail woes. Still, this seems to be helping. It's just not a "miracle" product. I will finish out the container and decide whether to go with a (sigh) brush on product to try and protect my always weak nails. I ran out of this cream awhile ago and just lived with crummy nails that peel, tear, and are just awful. Finally I had to do something to try and rehabilitate my nails as they were shorter than my fingertips and I was constantly dealing with painful exposed skin around my nails and cuticles. It is a bit greasy and takes awhile to sink in (which is why I hadn't reordered before) BUT that is not a bad thing. I finally bought some silicon finger covers so that the cream could sit on my nails and soak in AND now my nails are looking much better after only 4 days! The coconut scent is not off-putting and the cream works. I really didn't expect the edges of my nails to "seal", but I currently don't have any peeling nails at the white tips of my nails. This all still feels too good to be true as I don't usually have this kind of result with my lifetime weak nails. I'm excited that I might actually be able to finally have stronger nails.

I should have submitted this review before now. I’ve been using this product daily for four months and my dry cuticles and weak nails are gone. I also rub it into my hands, and they feel so much better! I love this product because it actually fixed my weak, dry nails and cracked cuticles. Thank you Amazon for carrying this terrific product. My hands and nails are pretty again!

Wore acrylic nails for 30 plus years. Stopped wearing in October this last year. Noticed my nails had become very weak, brittle, broke easily, flaked and peeled. Began using as instructed on March 29th. This is now April 14th, which means I've been using it as instructed for approximately 2 1/2 weeks. Unfortunately, I did not take 4 picks but I've included cropped pictures of what my fingers looked like during this period. I'm sorry for the quality. My nails have become stronger, far less brittle (have only experienced 1 small nick easily filed without losing length), no more peeling and have actually grown a bit. No more at the quick. Thank you for making an affordable nail product that actually works!

Would have had 5 stars...but they used WAAAAY too much stearic acid to the point where its pick up the product to get any on your finger. You literally have to dig with a small spatula or spoon to get any out of the jar. Also for nail strengthening as well as helping with annoying ridges.....WHY WHY WHY did your contract manufacturer's R&D chemist not add any Neonyca from Sederma/Croda??? Its clinically proven to be effective against breakage and gets rid of ridges over time with the new growth! Also, you "label claimed" the very ingredients you highlighted! I see they're listed AFTER Phenoxyethanol, which is always used at less than 1%. Meaning any efficacious ingredients are barely in the formula, if at all! So you charge that much for essentially coconut oil, water, and waxes. I bet your margins are high on this one! Wow. Will not be purchasing again. Highly disappointed for overpriced coconut oil thats just overly thickened with wax to the point where yoh need an object to dig any out. Score of ZERO for whatever contract manufacturer and chemist that formulated this cheap crap.

Am loving this product! After a nail salon technician removing my polish from a rubber gel manicure somehow managed to destroy my nails, I am nursing them back to health with biotin supplements and this wonderful cream. I bought the unscented one and am using it 2 or 3 times a day. The jar is lovely, the cream non-greasy, and seems it will last a long time. Very happy with this purchase.

Nice product. Was very helpful in helping heal thin splitting nails. The fragrance free is perfectly unscented with no odd smell.
