The most awesomeness balm! Best product of the year!
I'll start by telling you, I was an acrylic junkie starting back in 1990 and wore acrylic nails consistently until last fall. About 5 years ago I switched to the powder and then to gel nails shortly after that. After all those years of fake nails, without a break, plus I am a picker of nails when they feel like they're lifting. If all 10 nails lasted 2 full weeks I was lucky. I usually couldn't help myself and picked them off completely before going back to the salon. It was so embarrassing. My nail beds were in shambles, they were thinner than paper. After I stopped the fake nails, tasks like folding clothes were a pain, they snagged my clothing, were sensitive under warm water, and just a mess. I bit my nails to the quicks. I was wearing gloves to try and stop, and to hide my hideous fingers. I can't wear polish, even nail strengthener polish would be picked off within 3 days. I needed something I couldnt pick off, that would heal my super damaged nails, and I almost gave up. I was thinking about going back to the salon, and dreaded it, since I'm low on cash. Then I saw this product, read some reviews, and bought a jar. What a lifesaver this product has been for me. I didn't notice anything the 1st week, but I liked the gentle moisturizing feeling and the light scent. Man! In 3 weeks I started noticing my nail beds were healing. The rough scaley look was smoothing over. The peeling stopped. The sensitivity was gone. Now a tiny bit of white at the tips are growing out and I can feel them getting stronger. I am so thrilled! I have hope now that I can grow my nails out. No snagging anymore and no hiding my hands. Best yet, when I want to pick or bite my nails, I reach for my jar and start rubbing my nails with this awesome balm. I've only been using it 4 weeks, and wish I had before pics. I'll never go without it, it saved me a ton of money too, no salon visits ever again!!

Noticeably stronger nails with regular use
I’ve been using Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof for a bit now, and I’ve seen a real improvement in the strength of my nails. They feel harder and less likely to peel or break, especially after regular application. The cream absorbs well and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling, which makes it easy to use daily. I like that a little goes a long way, and it works well around the cuticles too. With consistent use, my nails look healthier and grow better without splitting as much. This is a solid nail treatment and definitely worth trying if you struggle with weak or brittle nails. I would repurchase.

Honest early impression.
I’ve only been using this for about a day, but so far it seems to work pretty well. The cream is thick but absorbs nicely, and my nails and cuticles feel more moisturized already. I like the shea butter scent—it’s pleasant and not overpowering. Too early to tell long-term results, but first impression is good.

Makes nails hard again!
I’ve been using the Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream (Coconut scent) for a while now and it’s made a noticeable difference in my nails. They used to split and peel pretty easily, but since using this regularly they feel stronger, smoother, and healthier overall. The cream absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, so it’s easy to use throughout the day. The coconut scent is pleasant without being overpowering, which I appreciate. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts quite a while. It’s not an overnight miracle, but with consistent use I’ve definitely seen improvement in nail strength and growth. Overall, a solid product if you’re dealing with weak or brittle nails.

Amazing for nail growth
I used to bite my nails very badly to the point where whenever I would go to a nail salon there was hardly anything to work with. Someone I know suggested this cream to help them grow and I have been using it consistently for about a month. I have noticed amazing results!! I couldn’t be happier, I finally have strong and healthy nails now and so much growth!! It also smells great.

Much Stronger Nails !
Best product I have ever used. It worked so quickly to harden my frail nails and allow them to grow longer. I don’t want long nails but previous to using this product they would break off at the slightest bit of growth. Not anymore ! Solid & strong. My job requires me to continually open cardboard boxes , then break the boxes down. My nails couldn’t survive the stress until after using this product. I occasionally use nail polish and can’t continue with applying this to my nails but I see no harm in doing that. Only about 3 days of polish, then I remove it and continue with the cream. I’m 66 and know brittle nails should be expected but this cream will help tremendously. I also live in Wisconsin and have endured a brutal winter this year but my nails are surviving well. Definitely give this a test. You’ll be happy with the results

Love this cream for my weak peeling nails — and the cherry almond scent is to die for!
Just started using this wonderful cream on my weak, peeling nails. Even after just a few uses, my nails feel and look better. But my main reason for the 5 stars is the scrumptious cherry almond scent. If you’ve ever used Jergens original lotion, this cream has that same maraschino cherry scent. It is strong but goes away after a little while. I will continue to buy this cream — great value for the money and does the job.

My Mum used the original and said it was the best product she had ever used for her nails. This is nice too and I do like the coconut smell.

My nails have never been in fantastic shape but after I wore acrylic nails for a year in high school (15 years ago) they have just been super thin and brittle since - pile on top of that working in a factory and I just never really had nails - they were always chipped and ALWAYS peeling. I used this twice a day everyday for about a month maybe 2 and then would forget here and there so it got put on whenever I remembered - but have to say my nails are 2000% better than they were before - still thin but I think that's just what I got dealt for nails - very few chips and no more peeling and tons of length (for my nails) and it smells fantastic to boot
