Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream with Coconut Scent, Nail Growth & Conditioning Cuticle Cream Stops Splits, Chips, Cracks & Strengthens Nails, 1 oz

It does work! I had thin and peeled nails from getting acrylic and gel nails. So I cut my damaged nails to nubs, and would apply this about 3x daily for 2 weeks, then cut off any nail growth to nubs again and continue that until all the nailbed scarring and uneven layers grew out. It smells good, moisturizes the nail, undernail and cuticles and makes them soft. I have naturally thin nails from a lifetime of nail-biting, anemia and genetics but I've been applying this almost everyday at least once at night and my thin nails have only chipped significantly twice! However it wasn't just this I used: keep your nails very short for a few months as to allow the nail to get stronger and not break while healing. Use cuticle oil after applying to lock in the moisture overnight, and keep them well trimmed and sanded when they do eventually chip and peel from older damage.

Okay, I’m a fan! I decided to go without nail polish for the first time in a year. My nails looked awful without polish - yellowed, with big ridges and ragged cuticles. They are also brittle as are many older peoples. I was looking for a way to care for them during my polish break and maybe improve their appearance a little bit. I’ve never cared too much for the other nail creams and oils I’ve used, but This. Is. Good. After just a few days of use, my cuticles are smoother, my nails feel moisturized and stronger, and they just look better.So glad I bought this! I put it on every time I wash my hands. Love the scent too.

This review is the first step in a series of reviews. If I dont do it this way, I will forget entirely, and if this stuff works for how bad my nails are, then others need to know.First edit on 2/24/25:I have been a nail biter my whole life, up until a few years ago. In higher anxiety/stress times, I catch myself starting to bite them again. Well, my husband noticed me biting my nails about 6 weeks ago and suggested I get gel nails done. So I made it a mom and daughter date to get our nails done. After 3 weeks, I had to remove them. And let me tell you, I am never getting gel nails again. My nails are flimsy, thin and overall weaker than they have ever been before. I need help with them, so I searched for days before landing on this product. Now, I only really have time to apply once or twice a day, so my progress will be slower than folks who apply 3 or more times. So far, I am happy with the product. I love the smell. I've been applying it at bedtime, so the coconut scent is extra relaxing. But my favorite part, after only a week of use, the skin around my nails is healthier, softer and stronger. So that gives me hope that this stuff will help. I did also get a fancy cuticle oil which I apply once this stuff is soaked in and my nails are dry again. I end up coating basically the entirety of my finger tips, and my calluses from playing guitar are still there, but softer. You do not need much at all, so I see this little bottle lasting a long time.The attached photo are my nails now. The short ones and damaged nails are from my nails breaking, tearing, and chipping since I removed the gel nails. I will attach progress photos when I come back to edit my review. But so far, I am satisfied with this product. Time will tell.To Be Continued....

I've always had a love-hate relationship with my nails. They’ve always been prone to breaking, peeling, and chipping When I stumbled upon Onyx Hard as Hoof strengthening nail cream, I admit I was skeptical, but my desperation won out. And let me tell you, I am so glad it did.From the first application, I was pleasantly surprised. The cream itself isn't greasy and absorbs fairly quickly, which is a huge plus for someone who's constantly on the go. Honestly, I didn’t follow the directions. At first, I started applying it just once a day, before bed.Within a week, I started noticing a difference. My nails, which usually felt flimsy and would bend easily, felt noticeably firmer. The peeling, my biggest nemesis, seemed to be less frequent. By the end of two weeks, I was genuinely impressed. My nails were not only stronger, but they also looked healthier. They had a natural sheen to them that I hadn't seen in years.Now, after using Onyx Hard as Hoof for a little over three months, I can confidently say this stuff is a game-changer. My nails are significantly harder – I can actually tap them without fear of them bending or breaking. I haven’t had a break, split or chip in weeks. They're stronger than they ever have before without splitting, and the constant peeling has practically disappeared.It's not a miracle cure that will make your nails indestructible overnight, but with consistent use, it truly delivers on its promise. If you're like me and have struggled with weak, brittle nails, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Onyx Hard as Hoof a try.

Amazing product! I just bought a second container so I can have one in my office and one in my bedroom. I normally have strong nails but after a solid year of acrylics, glue, etc my nails were ruined. They were so thin and flimsy. Within days of using this product they started to feel a little stronger and healthier. I love the coconut smell. I read some reviews where people disliked it, but I think it's great and it's not overpowering. Every once in a while I catch a whiff and it smells great. The consistency is very lightweight and it readily soaks in, which is fantastic.

I've been using the Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream for just 6 days, and I can already notice a real difference. My nails were in rough shape—weak, brittle, constantly splitting or peeling. But since I started applying this cream regularly (morning and night), they feel significantly stronger.One thing I really appreciate is that it doesn’t leave a sticky or greasy residue. It absorbs nicely and leaves my nails and cuticles feeling soft, hydrated, and healthy. The improvement in both strength and appearance is impressive for such a short time. Definitely a promising start!
