Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof S.O.S Nail Patches - Nail and Cuticle Strengthening Treatment Repair Patches, Nail Growth, Repair, 20 Count

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!

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.

OMG I love this product. It's rich and creamy but the best part is the scent - cherry almond that's almost better than the original Jergen's lotion. I put it on throughout the day and I'm obsessed with the scent! Edit 7.6.26: I've been using it at least twice daily for a week and my nails are noticeably stronger. Just in case I didn't have you at cherry almond. Really, wonderful and effective product.

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

My nails were damaged from many years of food service work and now working in a factory with harsh chemicals which eat through nitrile gloves. They were so weak that I could bend my nails back towards my cuticles. Splitting from the middle of the nails and the free edge. I had bleeding nail beds and did gel nails to protect them. That worked fine and they grew, but were still weak. An air dry nail glue obliterated the hard work I did. The glue came with a remover which didn't work. Tore up the nail plates. I tried hardeners. They did very little and didn't stay on. While looking for more Onyx polish remover, Hard as Hoof popped up in the suggestions. Curiosity got me and I bought a jar. WOW! Because I wash my hands at least 18 times a day, I apply this 3-5 times a day. Another jar came yesterday so I have one upstairs, one downstairs on my manicure table, and one in my lunch cooler. My nails are so hard now that they don't bend at all. Eventually I will have nails all the same length and be able to polish them. This isn't a one and done or a once a day product. Keep at it and you will see results. The drier your hands and nails are, the more often you need to apply. Definitely worth the money to have healthy natural nails.
