Onyx Professional Hard As Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream, Unscented - Nail Growth & Conditioning Cuticle Cream Stops Splits, Chips, Cracks & Strengthens Nails, 1 oz

I purchased this cream because I deemed 2026 the year of the nail rebuild! I had spent the better part of 10 years using gel manicures and recently gel strips or press ons, and my nails were like brittle rubber. They would bend, peel, chip, break completely off. So I started with cuticle oil, added in an OPI nail serum, added in ISDN silica serum, and I did see a big improvement. But they would still break, which made me feel like I had to go back to the rubber base gel I was using. I figured it couldn't hurt to try this creme and OMG the results are crazy. It really helped seal the deal for me and now I can wear my nails bare, do yard work, go about my life and they are so strong! In my entire life I have never seen them this way. They really are as hard as hooves! I believe all of the items I use have helped together, but I love the unscented option and appreciate how great my nails look. I'm very glad I found this and highly recommend it!

The Onyx brand has a solid reputation, and their Hard as Hoof Nail Cream is no exception. My order arrived on time and in good condition. I bought the unscented cream which didn’t smell of added fragrances. It did have a light smell just by nature of the ingredients. It didn’t phase me. The texture is light and smooth. It massages into my cuticles and nails well, absorbs quickly, and leaves no greasy feeling. I also like that I can use it on bare nails or over polish. I’m allergic to lanolin (a wool-based ingredient) and wool, so I needed something without that. This fit the bill. As expected, it hasn’t caused any irritation. My nails tend to peel, split, and get brittle. I appreciate that Onyx Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream has ingredients to heal my nails and dry cuticles - shea butter, coconut oil, silk protein, jojoba seed oil, safflower oil, beeswax, vitamin E, provitamin B5, retinol. It has already helped soften my dry cuticles. I haven’t used it long enough yet to speak to long-term strengthening results but I expect that my nails will improve considerably. I’ll update this with long-term results after I’ve been using it longer. So far, I’m happy with it.

This stuff is amazing! Seriously. I've had splitting nails on both big toes for years, and one worse than the other. I sure wish I had taken a before photo. Years ago my podiatrist said there wasn't anything to do for a nail splitting from the top, vertically down to the cuticle. He offered nothing. I fretted for years watching it get worse. Then I tried Kerisol. It's an oil treatment with tea tree oil. Used half the bottle following the directions and saw no improvement. That was 2 years ago. By now my right toenail has split about halfway down and has a notch in the top edge. My daughter had a jar of this at her house, unopened. I asked her if I could have it and she said she wasn't using it. The instructions say to apply it 3 x a day and that it can be applied over nail polish, which sounded odd. But the instructions say to apply it to the base, under the tip and around the edges, so the polish doesn't' matter. But when I don't have polish on I also rub it into the nail. I started with 3x a day for about 2 weeks, then went down to just morning and night and even missing sometimes. It's been a little over 3 months and I can't believe the difference. It is sandal season and I am no longer embarrassed of my toenails. The split is still slightly visible, but the notched area is growing out, looking better every time I trim. I expect that in another three months the notch and split will be completely gone. It takes time of course. The nail needs to grow out. I was afraid of losing my nails and now I go barefoot with confidence. A little goes a long way and I still have half a jar left. I have ordered two more and will keep using. GREAT PRODUCT that actually works. All podiatrists need to carry this in their offices.

I had multiple friends recommend this to me for my thin brittle nails. I bought it in fragrance free and cherry almond. I thought it was going to be a little tub but was pleasantly surprised at the large size. It only takes a small dab of cream so one tub should last a long time. I feel it has helped my nails more than any other nail treatment I've tried (and I've tried a lot.) I was annoyed that when I was trying to purchase it, I couldn't easily find an ingredient list (I have a lot of allergies to H&B products so I need to know what's in them before I purchase.) It is rather "greasy" so it needs a few min of dry in time before I touch anything otherwise I leave residue on whatever I've touched.

So I had dip nails for a couple of years and then acryclics for like 3 years. They started popping off and would not stay on- I think due to my nails being damaged so much from the nails. I decided to leave them off and try to get them better and of course turned to Amazon and saw this. I know it had great reviews but nails have always been thin, would peel and split, which is why I tried the fake nails. Well in an effort to get them better ordered this and applied 2-3 times a day. During this time I also had a wedding and thought I would use press on nails… mistake. They looked great until they didn’t- under my nail turned green! So I took them off and decided to have naked nails until I could get them grown out enough to get them painted at a salon. And I finally achieved that goal with Hard as Hoof! My nails have stopped peeling and splitting. Now they did have a nick and used to I would bite them ( yuck) and then bite them rite off trying to get them smooth. Well I had one get a small nick and it was even harder to bite off!! I don’t understand how it works but I know this stuff has helped me and I already ordered a second tub to have on hand. A little goes a loooong way. Also my husband kept having his thumbnail split. I started putting it on him and it has helped his nail to stop splitting. So I love this stuff!!!! IF you have brittle nails and nothing has worked try this!!!!!!! So the pictures I attached are from March and you can see the damage my other pics are June. They are NOT fake. They are my nails with only gel polish done at a salon! No dip no acrylic… my nails

This product really works. I have been using it consistently since the pandemic. My only issue is it has since doubled in cost, from $7 to now $15 and is steadily increasing

I have EXTREMELY thin nails that peel, crack, and sometimes don't even grow in. I have dry cuticles that sometimes get sore and are often ragged and peeling. I've had a lifetime of unsightly and painful nails. I researched a LOT before settling on this product. I also have MCAS and am sensitive to fragrances and chemicals, so I was nervous! First of all, the container is well-designed. It's pretty and it's easy to open if you have arthritis. It's a screw top lid that is large enough to be comfortable in the palm of your hand for opening, and there's a little plastic piece that sits atop the cream to help keep it sealed. There is no fragrance- and I mean, none. Olive oil smells stronger than this! It's thick enough to spread onto your nails and nailbeds (and recommends that you put it UNDER your nails too, which I do when my nails are long enough to do so). It soaks in pretty quickly and isn't too greasy and doesn't feel "heavy" or give me sensory overload. I usually use it before bed. I noticed a difference IMMEDIATELY. By day 3, I could tap my nails on the table and feel that they were stronger and not bending under. Their growth pattern changed and there were less ridges, growing straight out instead of curving around my fingertips, less splintering along the edges, and my cuticles stopped peeling as much. I'm extremely impressed and can honestly say that this product improved my quality of life, since thin nails are often painful. I have so much less soreness in my nail beds now!

I have thin nails. That js the problem. Extensions worked to avoid the nicks and cuts on my nails,p that caught on things. During COVID-19 the manicure parlors were closed. I had gentle nail files all over and used them 3 times in an afternoon or evening. There were nicks in them that had to be smoothed or my nails caught on things. I read a review of Hard as Hoof in a paper that is reliable for product reviews. I just put it on twice a,day. After three days the edges of my nails were fairly smooth. JUST PUT IT ON. NO RITUAL NEEDED. IT EITHER ABSORBS FAST OR IS NOT GREASY. TWICE A DAY HAS BEEN FINE. TRY HARD AS HOOF. IT WORKS!

Después de una semana de uso he notado una mejora clara en mis uñas. La crema ayudó a disminuir las grietas y ahora se ven más cuidadas y con mejor apariencia. La textura es un poco espesa y aceitosa, pero se aplica bien y cumple completamente con lo prometido. Me encantó el resultado y definitivamente volvería a comprarla.
