Being stressed for the past month has taken crazy damage to my nails (I bite my nails when stressed! Can't help it) So when 3 of my nails started getting dangerously thin and chipping, I bought this product to see how it would work on my nails. I've been using it consecutively for the past 2 weeks and I've seen great improvement to my nails already! My nails are getting back to their normal strength/hardness!
Just the one comment I would have about it (that another review said their nails turned a yellow-ish tint) is that my actual nail gained more of a whitish tint on the upper half, which I think is just normal from the product 'thickening' the nails up. I'd suggest it greatly if your nails are thinning/chipping!

Got this and OPI after I took artificial nails off. My nails looked so bad. This covered the icky white spots on nails left from removing the artificials. The OPI ridge filler accentuated the ugly spots on nails. Like it, good product.

I have eggshell nails. Always have. My MOTHER has egg shell nails. I had to keep them short, because they were so thin, and would break, split, and peel. I tried every product I could think of (and I was in beauty school, so I tried quite a few), as well as biotin pills, change in diet, and things like that. I seriously thought I'd have little-kid nails forever. I don't know why it was/is so important for me to have nice looking nails, but they make me feel older. I bought this product and decided to try it out. I've had it for a couple months now, a little over 2 I think, and my nails are actually at a length I love! They don't exactly feel thicker, if you run your fingers across them, but tap them on a table and they don't break, they actually make a "sharp, healthy nail tapping sound" like normal! Overall my nails feel much healthier and thicker and I just love this product.
My one complaint is that it DOES stain my nails sort of a yellowy color. This might be because I didn't shake the bottle up though. Seems like the more my nails are IN water, the more yellowy they look (with the polish on). But honestly? It's worth it for me.
What I do is I put the thicken up product on, then paint my nails, and leave them like that for a week or two. If I decide not to put polish over them, I put a coat on every day or every other day. Then at the end of the week (or two) when I take it off with non-acetone polish remover, I soak my nails in warm olive oil and slather Bag Balm on them. Viola!
I love this product.
I can't currently access my before pictures for some reason, so just google "eggshell nails" and you'll see exactly what I mean. And actually, both my index nails sort of have an odd downward curve to them, so I have to file them a bit wonky to create an optical illusion of them being straight across. But go look at "eggshell nails" in google, then look at my nails now:They aren't perfect, but they're 100% better than they used to be!
