BARIELLENail Strengthener Cream 1 ounce

The Barielle Nail Strengthener cream in the small jar really works, stops splitting, shredding, rebuilds weak nails. You' feel some small relief in a week, healing and results become noticeable in 3 - 4 weeks and in a few months nails are normal / beautiful. But you have to keep using it or bad nails return. It IS scented but I don't hate the scent. I tried their similar product in the tube but in my opinion the tube not as effective as the classic small jar. This is also the most natural of nail strengtheners. Now I simply wear my natural nails filed and buffed (and polish for special occasions).

I've struggled with thin, bendy, ripply, brittle nails for most of my adult life. I started using this cream on the recommendation of a friend who has lovely strong nails, and within 3 -4 weeks there was a noticeable change in the texture of my nails. They are thicker, stronger, long!! I no longer cringe when I go for a manicure, but I'm also happy when they are plain.

I am blonde, and have always had problems with splitting & breaking nails. I use my hands all day/every day. I have found that consistent use of Barielle on each nail & cuticle at bedtime, minimizes or prevents this problem. Also, it is quite pleasant to handle and very mildly fragrant. It has been a boon to my hands.

I think it is helping to strengthen my nails. My cuticle do look much better. I added 2 things to my nail care so I'm not 100% sure which deserves the credit. Maybe both together. The other thing I added is Nailtiques formula 2 which I put on every other day or so. I am down to 1 nail that still causes me problems. I hope patience is rewarded.I was asked to rate the smell & flavor. It has no smell & I didn't try to eat it!

I bit my nails to the elbow for 20 years. My first husband called me " Monkey Fingers.". There is ONE way i saved my hands: Barielle Nail Conditioner.Only this returned my nailbeds. Rebuilt cuticle base. Allowed nail growth to begin. I stopped biting forever.With DAILY Barielle Creme use, I had real, lovely nails that took manicures and grew out within 9 to 11 months. Resurrection of the putrid hands after trying 45 other products & 11 dermatologists.Years later, i got nail extensions, grinding carcinogens into my raw flesh nailbeds. Again! NO nails! No hThose fake claws destroyed my entire health of hands.Return to Barielle:Relief from the pounding pain of fingertips. Healing of that raw flesh. New skin atop dead nail areas.Nails! Growth! Soothing. Attractiveness. Pleasant smell from Barielle. Comfort. Greater Growth.Good health in my hands.New uses for fingers, flexing and ease of nail health.Barielle is THE miracle creme. Solutions!

10/01/12: Despite my initial disappointment outlined below, continued used of the product is yielding desired results. After almost a month of use my nails truly are less brittle, more supple, and not so painfully "thin" feeling. The splits and cracks are fewer and farther between. Still the only product of any help with the thumbnail that splits down the middle is super glue. Even so, perhaps with continued use, maybe this too will turn around. This leaves me eating crow from my critique of the initial experience, but it doesn't taste bitter considering the product benefit.Unfortunately despite continued use, my experience with the other two Barielle products remains unchanged-the nail hardener 'top coat' style product is rubbery, peels easily, and is gone after shower, the cuticle oil pools on the skin without being absorbed.-----------------------------I so wanted this product to work but after two weeks it just flat out doesn't. Not for me anyway. I purchased 3 Barielle products at the same time. This nail strengthener to reduce splits and peels, and nail hardener that goes on like a top coat that is supposed to strengthen nails and keep them from splitting as well, and an oil that is to condition the cuticle bed.From the moment it arrived I began using per directions with high hopes. Nothing. No noticeable change at all. The excess didn't even serve as a skin softener.The reason I write this now, is that I have one nail that splits down the middle and I just snagged it once again, rather painful. I have worn acrylics as a protective barrier for years because my nails are so thin, brittle, and split. I fully expected to see some sort of improvement at this point. - At least something.I'll post comments on the other two related products but the Barielle top coat style nail hardener goes on kind of rubbery, peels off very easily, and doesn't prevent splitting or cracking in my experience.Nothing. What a disappointment. Now it's back to acrylics as at least my nails won't be snagging and ripping off simply as I walk around.

My nails were crap! Hands in water a lot, aging (62), and a horrible failed attempt to “strengthen “ nails using gel base and gel polish had left my once strong nails brittle, btraking, splitting, and actually THINNER! I had used this a long time ago and decided to go all in. I have used it religiously several times a day and ALWAYS at night. I can literally SEE where my new healthy nail is! The old bad nail is almost grown out. I have been using this without polish but I’m going to start polishing [no gel] again and continue to use it w-3 times a day.THIS WILL ABSOLUTELY STRENGTHEN YOUR NAILS!

This is a great product… Certainly helps strengthen your nails and cuticles almost immediately.
