First off, I know this topic is covered a lot and I've read a lot of posts on this and other forums but I feel like they always derail and can't find a straight answer, so I figured I'd just make my own post.
I'm looking for something that will strengthen my nails with no harmful crap in it (I know a lot of products contain formaldehyde and other bad stuff); something that will reduce chances of breaking/chipping. It can be something that coats the nail or something that helps nails grow in stronger. Are there any products or formulas/methods that can accomplish this without harmful chemicals?
Hi, I've been using two products first is the 5,000mg Biotin, Second is the nail product Onymyrrhe. A few years ago I stopped using onymyrrhe because it made my nails too strong, (not possible now) but I was a beginner and hadn't damaged my nails enough yet. The jury for onymyrrhe is still out as it has taken a LONG time for my nail to grow out enough, after damaging my mf nail with super glue. For some reason that particular nail is a problem. Good luck!
Yo soclyde. I have been using a product called Bondini. You can get it any beauty supply or on line. I just do the tips of my nails, about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch. get the smallest size , the .14 oz bottle.that lasts me for up to three or more months, I keep it the refrigerator as i think this prolongs the freshness. Just put a drop on the tip of your nail and spread it thin, I spread it with a toothpick. let it dry and apply again. I usually put on three or four coats. I have not noticed any damage to my nails and I sometimes play electric without a pick. when you get cracks on the dry additive ,which will happen after a while just sand it down and put more on. Hope this helps
''Olive oil is rich in antioxidants (and vitamins A and E), and these help protect the keratin in hair and nails by locking in moisture.''
