a_arnold -> RE: False nails from ping pong balls (Feb. 19 2007 1:35:18)

Surely everyone knows about Straight Cream? It was used for years to strengthen cracked horse hooves, and the grooms noticed that their nails got stronger from using it. Now they market it as a nail strengthener. I used to have to buy it from a large-animal vet, but you can get it in Publix and a few other stores. I think I've seen it advertised by Guitar Salon Int. or someone similar. Anyway, it works. My 85 year old mother has osteoporosis and her nails were always cracking and splitting. She started using it and now has perfect nails. It's a shame she can't rub it on her bones. I used to break nails all the time, used glue-on's (which, I think, weaken the nail underneath) and now that use this stuff (I am in the habit of putting it on whenever I know I'm not going to be playing for a few hours) I don't break nails unless I do something really stupid that would break a glue-on anyway. I'd be interested to know if others have had the same luck. I guess mileage varies . . . Tony Arnold
