Onyx ProfessionalHard 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've used this product for a few months now, and even within the first few days of use there is a noticeable difference! My nails are much stronger now, and I've gifted this to a few relatives who also love it! I haven't had the insane thickness difference that some of these reviews show, however, I've also just used it once per day while the instructions recommend application 2-3 times per day. I actually stopped using it for a week recently since I had moved the product elsewhere in the house, but when I started using it again, my nails instantly started to feel thicker. I have the coconut scented one, and it smells very good. The cream is also very hydrating- any excess on the nail I rub into my hands, and I haven't had dry hands since I first got the product. I highly recommend trying this strengthener!

I read about this in a magazine article one day, and before I could even finish reading the article, I had bought a jar for myself. After having the jar three or four days, I made my Mom by a jar for herself, too. I take a lot of medications, which, though they have kept me alive, have done a number on my body... One thing that they have done is thrashed my fingernails. Vertical ridges, horizontal ridges, dips and curves... I have had them all (my toenails, too), to the point of my fingernails bleeding from literally peeling apart. And my cuticles... My poor little cuticles. And, I had tried EVERY. SINGLE. CREAM, LOTION, OIL, SUPPLEMENT, etc... on the market. (That wouldn't interfere with my medications.)Then came this stuff. Now, I don't always remember to use it every day. And, I certainly am not using it three times a day, but even with what I'm doing, it's been a SAVING GRACE. When I'm in bed watching television at night, or sitting watching television during the day, I'll break open the little jar, and begin finger by finger rubbing it in. (As your nails grow, remember to get this UNDER your fingernail, too.) And, at least my hands don't make me cry like they used to.I just started a new medication a few days ago that is literally more poisonous than chemo. Already, it's doing some horrible things. But, I'm praying that my fingers stay manageable. And, anyone that is on the fence, give it a try... it's definitely worth it.

I noticed all the reviews were great but mostly all coconut. I saw the cherry almond listed and decided to get that fragrance. I was excited to try it and put it on immediately after it arrived. The fragrance was super strong and for me anyway it was nauseating. Not sure if it was the cherry, almond, or both. A lighter fragrance possibly, but for me I can’t do that scent. Returning it and going to get the fragrance free. I would like to try the coconut but concerned it might be strong too. Can’t wait to get the unscented and get on to better nails.

I did use this with two other products but I truly feel this product made a huge difference in the repair of my nails. In February I started using and I’ll admit I should have learned more before I started. I ultimately weakened my nails bad and also used gel polish and uv lamps. Lesson learned just soak off the gel. My nails were so bad I couldn’t even touch things without pain. It’s been 3 months since I damaged them a just shy of 3 months I started using this product. My nails have now fully grown out the damage and are actually starting to grow a healthy nail. You don’t have to use a lot of product and I would apply in the morning and at night and sometimes in the afternoon.

This is the best cuticle treatment I've ever used. I've tried other creams and oils, lotions, and anything else you can reasonably think of, but this one tops everything. I have such dry cuticles, especially my thumbs, and on top of that, my nails crack and peel--but not when I use this stuff regularly! I find that it works better the more you use it (3-4 times a day is best for me), so I have multiple pots all around my house. My only complaint is that the coconut one is always the cheapest but I don't like scented products for my hands. The unscented version is sadly often out of stock. Cherry almond is a lighter and more pleasant scent to me... but honestly, the coconut scent is not a dealbreaker. It's a small price to pay for non-peeling and bleeding cuticles and nails that actually grow.

Hard as hoof is certainly worth the price. I tried a ton of other products but nothing worked on my brittle cracking nails. This is actually working! I'm not a fan of the coconut scent but I bought the less expensive option because I wasn't sure if it really was any good. When I need more I am definitely trying the cherry almond. This cream even healed deep dry cracks on the pads of my thumb. Nothing touched that, I thought I was stuck with the cracks forever. It does have a bit of a greasy residue but I don't mind for the actual benefits. You only need a tiny dab, a little bit goes a long way. I use it 2 times a day and an extra time if I did dishes by hand or have been washing my hands a ton.
