Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream, Cherry Almond Scent - Made in USA, Nail Growth & Conditioning Cuticle Cream Stops Splits, Chips, Cracks & Strengthens Nails, 1 oz

I have EXTREMELY thin nails that peel, crack, and sometimes don't even grow in. I have dry cuticles that sometimes get sore and are often ragged and peeling. I've had a lifetime of unsightly and painful nails. I researched a LOT before settling on this product. I also have MCAS and am sensitive to fragrances and chemicals, so I was nervous! First of all, the container is well-designed. It's pretty and it's easy to open if you have arthritis. It's a screw top lid that is large enough to be comfortable in the palm of your hand for opening, and there's a little plastic piece that sits atop the cream to help keep it sealed. There is no fragrance- and I mean, none. Olive oil smells stronger than this! It's thick enough to spread onto your nails and nailbeds (and recommends that you put it UNDER your nails too, which I do when my nails are long enough to do so). It soaks in pretty quickly and isn't too greasy and doesn't feel "heavy" or give me sensory overload. I usually use it before bed. I noticed a difference IMMEDIATELY. By day 3, I could tap my nails on the table and feel that they were stronger and not bending under. Their growth pattern changed and there were less ridges, growing straight out instead of curving around my fingertips, less splintering along the edges, and my cuticles stopped peeling as much. I'm extremely impressed and can honestly say that this product improved my quality of life, since thin nails are often painful. I have so much less soreness in my nail beds now!

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.

I am so happy with how well this has worked. I’ve been dealing with brittle nails for a little over a year now. It’s been frustrating and I’ve had a hard time finding something to work and that made sense to maintain. This little container sits right on my desk at work, it takes me less than a minute to put on. And I tend to remember to put it on twice a day or so. It’s only been 2 weeks, but I’m already seeing results. My thumbnail hasn’t had a straight line on it, or any length, in forever due to chips and cracks. It’s actually almost past the tip of my thumb now! I’m excited to have my pretty nails back!

Rating is based on size, smell, and moisturizing. Large container and it takes very little so this is going to last a while. So glad I ordered the cherry almond scent. It is enough that I can smell it, not too strong as to be overly sweet. I keep it on my desk and rub it around my nails multiple times a day. The moisturizer is keeping my cuticles healthy. I’ve not been using long enough to report on nail strength. I got this to use as an aid in healing my nails after wearing gel polish for over a year. Because my cuticles have been staying moisturized and not drying out, I’m hopeful 💅

This stuff is gold! I had someone recommend it to me when I was complaining about my nails never being able to grow out and I was skeptical but I currently have the longest nails of my life. Before this product, my nails were always splitting and peeling. They were so weak that they'd break super short, sometimes in painful ways. I've included photos of how I had to keep my nails in the past versus how long they are now. I don't even manage to use the cream as often as the instructions say to and I'm still seeing so many results.
