I’ve done acrylic nails for the past 20 years. On top of my extremely brittle nails, the strong consistent chemical scent brewing in the salon was really getting to me. I decided I wanted to go with natural nails but wasn’t sure what product would help completely transform the destruction of my nail beds. I started using this product when my mother gave me a sample of hers & two months later, I’ve had to cut back my nails multiple times!! I’ve never had that problem. They usually broke off or tore off before they even got to that point. To top it off, they are strong enough now for me to scratch my head when washing my hair, pick stickers off of items or even to scratch my husbands back lol Another plus is my heels. I was using the popular Healthy Feet but wanted something cleaner. This does just as good of a job if not better! I look forward to applying this every evening when getting into bed.
