Ellie Chase Horsetail Nail Strengthener, Growth, Hardener, Repair Treatment Polish 0.5 OZ/Help Splits, Breaks, Thin, Weak, Chipped, Damaged, Cracked, Peeling Nails/Grow Strong Hard Thicker Nails

UPDATE: this stuff still continues to amaze me! Don’t even think twice about getting it, for the price you have nothing to lose, but this nail strengthener really works. My nails are so nice and hard yet they’re still a little flexible so that if I knock them on things, they don’t snap in half. I’m adding a few more pictures ( near silver laptop) and you can see how much my nails have grown since I wrote the last review two weeks ago. I have had this horsetail nail strengthener for about four weeks now… I was very attracted to the fact that it was cruelty free with no formaldehyde no tooling no formaldehyde resin no camper no DBP no TPHP and no Xylene. Clearly, they care about leaving out all the crappy chemicals that caused cancer. I also love that this is made in the USA. The instructions were clear applied to clean dry nails. Can be used as a base coat, a topcoat or standalone treatment. The suggestion is applying 2 to 3 times per week as needed, which is about what I have done over the last three weeks and my nails, not only look amazing but they are so strong. I have knocked them on a couple of things that normally would have busted a nail, but they have held up. I honestly can’t believe that I’m writing this review because none of the nail strengtheners I have ever used except for nailtique have worked. Nailtique is EXPENSIVE— this is affordable. I hope it never goes out of stock. I will attach pictures of my nails. I wish I had taken some before pictures. Please don’t judge my cuticles. I need a manicure desperately.

My chronically weak nails have been a challenge for many years, and after trying numerous products this is finally the solution I have been looking for! It worked right away, my nails are growing out and they look healthy and shiny.

My hands are in nitrile gloves for sometimes up to 2 1/2 hours at a time, and all that heat and humidity were causing the layers of my nails to separate, causing them to split and break (sometimes up to the skin) and making my cuticles hard and would break off and stick up. I tried growing my nails out and give them a good trim after work on Fridays, but they'd be broken and split immediately (already the layers were separated after I would cut them, no matter how short). I needed something drastic, and I'm a guy so I tried vitamins. Didn't solve the issue because it was from being in those gloves for so long (pretty much stripping the natural oils out of the nails). So I tried clear nail polish, and that didn't help at all. Then a coworker suggested nail strengthener (I never knew such a thing existed). I've been using it a little while, my nails stay together and no longer break. It is noticeable because it's clear but glossy (and guys typically don't have shiny nails, but like I said I was desperate and was willing to try anything). It does have a smell, but after a bit it dries and you can only smell it if your fingers get close to your nose for a couple hours. I typically reapply it every other day, and Friday it's sometimes thick enough you can peel it right off. I've thought about getting nail polish remover because when it peels off my nails look a little dull, but I don't need to grow them out anymore and they no longer break and peel! I have noticed after the first layer it's much easier to get air bubbles in it, and being a guy I'm not used to this so an occasional scuff, rough spot, or empty spot from bumping to scraping into something happens, but even then as long as a majority of the nail is covered it protects your nails!

My first time trying a nail strengthener and wow i am impressed. i wash my hands a lot at work which has led to them being very flaky and weak. i’ve used this twice now and the difference is noticeable. i wouldn’t be able to place any pressure on my nails for fear of bending and things as simple as pulling up leggings would make them bend and break at the sides. i have not had that issue since using this. really great stuff. use it as a top and base coat for nail polish

This was just as described. My weak nails didn’t split while wearing and it was easy to apply and remove.

Worked great at first but then got thick and goopy to apply. If it did not get like every polish I have ordered would have given it 5 stars.

So far so good, but to early to really give a good review. I’ll get back after I’ve used it for a month or two. Thanks

Best product I ‘ve ever used

Good

Producto de gran calidad

The cap on the bottle wasn’t tightened, so there was polish in the ziplock bag. I had to use polish remover to get the bottle out of the spilled liquid. Not to mention the waste of polish which is expensive / droplet !!!
