Nail strengtheners to treat weak and brittle nails
Take a look at your nails. How do you they look? How do they feel? If you pressed down on the tip of your nails with your thumb do they bend forward or do they stand strong?
Did your nail just split doing that test? My deepest apologies. But also, maybe it’s highlighted that your nails are weak and brittle and that’s gotta change. Like now.
Here are three nail strengtheners that’ll help restore your nails to their former glory:
REVITANAIL NAIL STRENGTHER

Members say:
“After two weeks I started to see and feel a difference in my nails, no more peeling or splitting and they were much stronger. I continued to follow the program for four weeks and then switched to the hand and nail cream to maintain the results.
I use this product three to four times a year for four weeks and find that this, in conjunction with the hand and nail cream, keeps my nails in excellent condition.” – Miss Danger.

I love the Revitanail product, it really does work just wish it didn't take so long to go through the process with the nail hardener.
All great tips and these products are amazing to use.
The Avon nail hardener sounds promising and affordable too.
I would love To try the Essence Studio Nails Ultra Long Nail Hardener. My nails are so soft they easily split when wet. I can only have strong nails when i use acrylic
Must try the Essence Studio or the Avon products since the user ratings are higher on these than the Revitanail product. I'll give anything a go, as my nails are prone to breaking 😔
These nail strengtheners sound great!
Thank heaven my nails are beginning to recover from my serious illness as far back as February. I've been religiously taking the Blackmore's supplement as suggested by my pharmacist and it is finally working.
I haven't used a nail strengthener before, but these sound great.
I don't think the essence nail hardener is available anymore. I've looked everywhere & it's not on their website anymore either.
Oh lovely am looking for one of these now
I've just read the reviews on these products. The Revitanail is $29.95, essence is $3.50 & Avon $10.99. The essence reviews well, I'll have to give this a go for my peeling nails.
I have been using Sally Hansen nail products for years and really liked them. I would like to try Revitanail as I've always heard good reports about it
I would not recommend using the Revitanail. Why? This product contains Formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is known for it's dangerous reputation of causing cancer in humans and rats. If you don't believe me, Australian Cancer Council and Australian Government confirm that this is indeed true. However, I had recently used Revitanail before knowing about this. It is a great product! Luckily for you, there is a Revitanail (Which I cannot remember the name for) but it is an alternative and "safer" option that does not contain Formaldehyde.
Must give one of these a try!
I use revitanail and it is good..
I haven't been able to find the essence hardener anywhere!!
If I ever get rid of my falsies then I will be trying the Avon strengthener.
I do suffer from weak and brittle nails so I use the Revitanail strengthener which is truly amazing and works wonders!.
My nails are actually growing strong from pregnancy hormones. Yay!!
I really need to try one of these nail strengtheners! I do a lot of different nail tutorial vids on youtube, which means a heap of polish remover in between, which has left my nails looking and feeling seriously weak and brittle :(
I have never tried a nail strengthener. The essence one sounds good though
I need these! I have weak and brittle nails, I think it has something to do with my diet
I'm always on the lookout for nail hardeners.
