Firepits Fumes About Her Nails:
My handcream (by Vaseline) claims that it makes your nails ten-times stronger in two weeks. If my nails are ten times stronger, will I still be able to cut them?
The Right Brain Responds:
Rest easy, Pits, no lotion or cream will make your nails so strong that you can’t cut them. Products frequently claim they make your nails (or hair) 2x, 5x, or 10x stronger. Many companies play this numbers game but in our opinion, these claims are a bit sketchy. In reality, it’s more about the type of test used and what the product is compared against. If you like the Vaseline product, buy it. But don’t buy it just because they tell you it makes your nails 10x stronger. You’ll never be able to tell the difference! (BTW, the same goes for expensive nail products like Barielle Nail Strengthening Cream, Milagro Nail Care, and Malvala).

Oh no! I’m taking it that Sally Hansen’s “Hard as Nails” isn’t living up to it’s claim of stronger nails! Say it ain’t so, beauty brains!
Have you ever heard of these nail files? I have tried them and they are incredible! I’ve never heard of anything like them before. They are much healthier for your nails than any other nail file out there. They are made of crystal, so they are also earth friendly. I have been trying to spread the word about these things so here is their website… Top Notch Nail Files.
There are no products that will make the nails grow longer and stronger! These products will make your nails 10% stronger than what?
If there were a product that would really make your nails grow faster and stronger, there would be no such thing as artificial nails or nail enhancments!! The nail salons would be out of business!
The nail hardeners will help make the nails harder, but they also dry out the nails and in time, say about five months if you used it faithfully, your nails will then start to snap due to severe dryness and brittleness.
Use a good cuticle oil like ENTITY Cuticle Oil or one of the other good brands.
Happy Nailing!
