PROS- Smells wonderful- Hydrates top layers of the nails- Adds flexibility to nails- Adds nutrients during nail growth for long term strong healthy nails- Absorbs quickly- Leaves skin soft- No greasy residueCONS- None unless you believe that this will solve all your nail problems.Strong nails are hydrated and flexible.Water also makes nails flexible, but in a bad way that causes a lack of hydration.Peeling nails are caused by a lack of hydration.This product adds hydration to the top layers and nutrients as the nail grows for long term healthy strong nails.I noted one image review has an infection - This is not due to the product, this is due to rubbing the product upwards into an cut cuticle. I noticed another image review saying it doesnt work with an image of uneven uncut nails that peeling continues upwards. This will not stick your peeling layers together.This is a hydration mix for cuticles and nails. The consistency does soak into the first few layers of the nail and the cuticle. It contains some of the essentials to condition your nails AS THEY GROW. Massaging downwards from your cuticle to the nail tips will add nutrients for strong healthy nails as they grow. This is the nail benefit of the product and it does this very well. Its unusual consistency makes it one of my favs.How to grow your false nails out / have a week off.1. Have the false nails removed professionally or use soak - do not peel them off.2. If your nails are short and damaged. Using a fine nail file / glass nail file / square block 4 way buffer/ sharp nail clippers - shape them straight across with smooth edges (squoval). Ideally removing all the bad peeling at the tip.3. With a square block 4 way buffer to smooth out a LITTLE (2 or 3). Do not over buff to perfection, just so there are no really bad layers that can catch or have dirt and food that can get caught in between the layers.4. Add a small amount of HARD AS HOOF and rub it into the nail and cuticle area - KEEP downwards if your cuticles are in poor condition (and really you should anyway).5. Using the 4 buff (or a suede nail polisher is best) buff the nail and the HARD AS HOOF into the nail.6. Buy some VASELINE intensive care with keratin and keep it by the sink. Use this every single time you get your hands wet.7. Use the HARD AS HOOF at least 3 times a day - Vaseline cream can be used after.

Seems to be strengthening my nails and reducing the ridges. The cuticles are also smoother but still a long way to go.A glass nail file has also helped to reduce the nails splitting.Update: its been 4 weeks of use and nails do seem stronger. Its not the amazing difference I expected compared to other reviews. Nails are still splitting and breaking, cuticles and ridges still raised, im not sure how long it will take for my nails to recover from removal of gel nails, I wished I'd never had them fitted, my nails are still far from hard and strong. Images 5 days of use, 10 days use and 3 weeks.

I think this works via cuticles. It is rather confusing that the instructions say it works even through nail varnish but then also suggest you should put the creme on the underside of your nails - either it works through nail varnish, in which case why put it on the underside of nails, or it doesn't. I've had my nails unvarnished for some time and having put this stuff on, reasonably regularly, it has made a pleasing difference to my previously brittle and splitting nails. They have not become harder, but they look healthy and don't split. If you have time, do it a few times a day, don't put varnish on.

Fantastic. I have been buying nail strengthening products all my life, as my nails are naturally weak and fragile. This is the first product that has really made a difference to the nail condition, rather than just coating it, as for instance Sally Hansen products do. I do still use Perfectil tablets, and I use Sally Hansen, but this is the product that has really been a game changer. Quite quickly, I felt my nails were not peeling or breaking - and I have only had one nail break off - and not badly - since I started using this. I don't know how it works, but it does.

This cream is full of very fine black fibres which I don’t think should be there! It’s as if dust got into the pot during the manufacturing process but it doesn’t look very nice but smells lovely. However my nails are still splitting so don’t waste your money!

Love this cream, it has certainly helped by dry splitting nails and turned them into beautiful long healthy nails. I have told all my friends and work colleagues when they ask how I have managed to get such nice nails that they need to try it. Love it.

Awful….made my weak and splitting/breaking nails even weaker! Very dissapointing

Have never written a review on Amazon before but felt this needed one. It's such a game changer and has really helped my post chemotherapy and surgical menopause nails. Highly recommend.
