Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream, Cherry Almond Scent - Made in USA, Nail Growth & Conditioning Cuticle Cream Stops Splits, Chips, Cracks & Strengthens Nails, 1 oz

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!

This smells amazing and works very well. I use a lot of other Onyx Professional products and they're pretty reliable. Excellent nail polish removers, acetones and strengtheners. Also, please note that it can be used over nail polish, according to the box. So, your nails don't have to be completely bare for use.

The cream was fine, and kept my nails moisturized, which helps with breakage. However, the unscented smell was a little off putting. It almost smelled like play doh. However, i cannot use any of their scented lines, since i am allergic to their fragrance. I have sensitive skin, so only the version of this that I can use is the fragrance free version.

I can’t even explain how amazing this stuff is. Witchcraft in a bottle. My cuticles and hands have never looked better. I use it a couple of times a day or as needed - my cuticles tend to be very dry. The cherry almond is by far the best scent, but I do have the Shea butter one and it smells nice and light, too. I do my own gel nails so my hands tend to get dry with the acetone/alcohol wipes, so it’s the perfect way to end a manicure or do nail care in between sets. It’s a little bit oily but that’s part of the magic.

My nails have had gel polish from the salon on them for the past year. After I removed the polish, my nails were paper thin and kept ripping off into my cuticles causing bleeding. Add winter weather into the mix and my hands were a mess. I looked on Amazon for nail repair and came upon this. My step daughter and I love it! The cherry almond smells fantastic, my nails/hands don’t feel greasy and my nails feel and look so much better!
