Gena Healthy Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream – Hard as Hoofs Nails Strengthener, Nail Growth & Conditioning for Split & Crack Nails, 1 oz

Before I started using this product, I had a lot of trouble with my flimsy nails bending, cracking, and wearing down too quickly from playing guitar. I looked at acrylics and hardening polishes but the either didn't feel right or didn't really do much.This stuff literally thickened my natural nail, making it harder, stiffer, and more resistant to wear. My nails don't bend nearly as easily as they did, they don't crack, and they just feel more solid. They got noticeably less flimsy after a week or so of use, but with continued use I actually watched the nail grow thicker as it grew out.I never took care of my fingernails or cuticles before, but aside from filing my nails for guitar, this is the only other thing I use, and my hands are healthier than they've ever been.If you're a fingerstyle guitarist, this stuff will solve all of your fingernail problems.

My nails split and peel. My biggest annoyance is that both my thumb nails crack right in the middle and I have to cut them super short constantly. So I thought I would give this a try based on the other reviews. I knew I had to give it time so I figured I wouldn’t make a decision until about three months. So it’s about that time and I have to say I am very pleased with the results. Overall my nails feel stronger and I actually can let my thumb nails grow because they have stopped splitting. This doesn’t make your nails rock hard, but it has made a significant improvement in the strength and condition of all my nails... I couldn’t be happier with the product. I did use it almost every single day (unless I forgot)... and often used it more than once a day. I put it near the bathroom sink and after washing my hands sometimes I would just apply it again randomly. Definitely will continue to use this product for a long time... one container lasts forever it seems because I have been using it for 3 months and still have most of it. You only need a small amount.

I've only had this for a few weeks. So why the 4-star rating? It's because there's so little info on how to use it. You rub this on your cuticles once or twice a day. But you have to do it for months before you know whether it's working because it only affects the new fingernail growing out of the cuticle. You won't have stronger nails at the tips until the new hardened nail has grown out to the tip. This takes at least 3 months or more. There's nothing wrong with this product and I suspect it is a great product. You use so little of it each day, a 1 oz jar is plenty and will last a very long time. The scent... it's not great. To me, it smells like a mixture of cold cream and an old medicine ointment that my grandmother had in her medicine cupboard for many many years (the ones in the round metal containers). They could make it smell better that's for sure. It is kind of greasy for a while until it absorbs.Pros:I'm sure it helps strengthen after a while (months!) of using it, but it's too early for me to honestly tell.It does moisturize.A little bit goes a long way!Cons:The scent is not great... at all lol.Greasy for a while until it absorbs.Would I recommend? Sure! It's at a good price point that's worth a try!

This is the only cream I like to use for my feet. I've tried several others, but none moisturize throughout the day. I put this on before my socks and it doesn't make my feet sticky or slimy or smelly.

I like the way it smells and feels so soft and my nails are growing strong will definitely keep this in my grooming cabinet 👍😉

My friend brought this with her on a recent girl's trip and we gave her such a hard time... but she told us to try it and by the end of the trip I had ordered some for myself and a few other people. It's great, and not just on nails. Any really rough or dry skin you might have, this will fix you up. It's thick and creamy, and absorbs well without leaving any greasy feel at all. I prefer this worlds over cuticle oils. Will be getting the bigger tub next time!

I rinse dishes and wash my hands a lot, so I have very weak fingernails that peel & split constantly. I have bought & slavishly applied so, so many different supplements, creams, oils, polishes, and potions with minimal results. In particular is one rogue fingernail that on top of the peeling/splitting just would not grow; I am talking for YEARS here.I bought Healthy Hoof Intense Protein Treatment a couple years ago, after reading about it somewhere or other. I was primarily using it for dry winter hands & cuticles, and dry, rough heels. My boyfriend tried some and loved it so much that we bought a 4pack.It wasn't until recently that I started using Healthy Hoof several times a day on my nails, as well as on my hands and feet. I no longer expect any magical improvement on that one nail, so wasn't really thinking about it until maybe 2-3 weeks in: suddenly I realized that I have actual growth, and lots of it! It's amazing. It is magical. The rogue nail is finally the same length and strength as the rest of my nails. It is a beautiful thing to behold.The scent is meh, but of little importance; the price is incredible, and one tub lasts months and months of heavy use.THANK YOU HAPPY HOOF! I cannot recommend it enough, and I will continue my 3-4x a day use indefinitely.
