Onyx ProfessionalHard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream with Coconut Scent, Nail Growth & Conditioning Cuticle Cream Stops Splits, Chips, Cracks & Strengthens Nails, 1 oz

I was lamenting how my natural nails, normally hard as a rock, were left brittle and soft after a gel set was removed. This was the first time I had gel tips and it will be my last. They ruined my natural nails. After weeks of filing, clipping, and dealing with brittle nails I decided I needed a supplement. I am on several medications and was against something in pill form because of the chance of the ingredients interacting with my prescription drugs. So I decided on this cream after reading reviews. After the first application I immediately noticed my nails looked like they were nourished. Less dry looking. And after about a week of 3x a day application I no longer had any peeling. My cuticles don't get the snags on them. Today I noticed the ends of my nails, while still a little soft, are growing out stronger. I ordered the coconut fragrance and it reminds me of summer. I think next time I will try the cherry almond. It also comes in unscented. I highly recommend!

This cream is so luxurious that you’d think you spent hundreds on it, but it also puts in work.. What more could you ask for?The Backstory: I’ve become interested in doing my own gel nails at home recently. However, it has been a bit damaging to my nails.. so I did some searching, and I came across this cream which claims to help soften cuticles while also strengthening your nail. At first I wondered if I had to put it on only on my bare nails, which was a deal breaker for me, but you can use it under the nail and around it and works fine. I’ve tested it for about a week and a half now using 2-3 times a day as recommended and have definitely seen improvement in both the look of my cuticles and the strength of my nails. Seriously, this stuff really surprised me!The Details: So as stated above, I’ve been using this cream 2-3 times a day for over a week now. I rub it around my cuticles, under the nail bed, pretty much everywhere it says to put it on. At first the texture is very thick and it’s pretty oily. So oily you think about this purchase and wonder why the heck you got it.. but don’t worry, it surprisingly soaks into the skin within the 5-10 minutes and it’s more of a moisturizing feeling rather than greasy. The smell is pretty nice, almost like a piña colada. Not too strong, but just enough to get a subtle whiff every so often. The jar it comes in is actually very pretty and I leave it on my bathroom counter on display. It sounds like a lot of work trying to remember to use this so often but I’ve just incorporated this step into my skin care routine plus a midday little treat for my hands (if I remember.)All in all, this stuff has been great so far and I’ve really enjoyed using it. I definitely see some overall improvement in my nails, which is crazy considering I’ve just started. As long as you’re faithful and remember to use it, this cream should do wonders for your nails!

I’ve been using Onyx Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream as part of a bigger nail care routine — including OPI Repair Mode and nutritional supplements like Alive 50+ and potassium. While I can’t give Onyx all the credit, I believe it has played a real part in improving the health of my nails. Over time, I’ve noticed reduced splitting, smoother ridges, and stronger, healthier nails.My daily nail care — gently filing, trimming, buffing, moisturizing, and applying cuticle oil — has also made a difference. I especially like the feel of Onyx: it absorbs well, leaves my nails and cuticles nourished, and seems to offer long-term benefits.If you stay consistent, this product is a solid addition to your nail care routine! While its initial price may seem steep, frequent sales help offset the cost; however, despite its effectiveness, I likely won't keep it as a long-term part of my routine.

So it's very rare that I write reviews for products unsolicited. BUT this product deserves its flowers. This nail cream has been my holy grail over the last year. I ordered it 1/11/24, and I still have some left. I will admit, at one point I wasn't consistent because it does take a little time to rub the cream in and such, and for my nails, I have to do it after EVERY time that I wash my hands, because some little lotion isn't enough. Yes, I can be lazy sometimes.BUT, I got past that and now use it multiple times a day. I've used those top coats in the past that promise to lengthen and strengthen nails, and sure they worked for a little, but none of them did anything to really moisturize my nails and keep them hydrated. They still chipped, which meant they were still weak. I lost hope, until I remembered that I had this little cream tucked away. So I started to use it, and have now been consistently using it again for about 5 months. And the results speak for themselves! I don't have many before pictures, but these are my nails currently. I work in a job where I use my hands A LOT, and am constantly bumping my hands into things, or having to open packages and such. It used to be that I'd chip my nails over any little thing, but now they don't chip for ANYTHING! It also helped reduce my hangnails by a lot (although they're still pesky for me), which if you didn't know, are caused because your nail beds are dry.Truly amazing product, if used as directed and OFTEN. And during the winter, this is a God send. I want to get my nails super long so that I don't have to get acrylic nails for length, and so that people can wonder if my nails are real. THEY ARE, HUNNY! Anyways, buy it. And thank me later.
