The most awesomeness balm! Best product of the year!
I'll start by telling you, I was an acrylic junkie starting back in 1990 and wore acrylic nails consistently until last fall. About 5 years ago I switched to the powder and then to gel nails shortly after that. After all those years of fake nails, without a break, plus I am a picker of nails when they feel like they're lifting. If all 10 nails lasted 2 full weeks I was lucky. I usually couldn't help myself and picked them off completely before going back to the salon. It was so embarrassing. My nail beds were in shambles, they were thinner than paper. After I stopped the fake nails, tasks like folding clothes were a pain, they snagged my clothing, were sensitive under warm water, and just a mess. I bit my nails to the quicks. I was wearing gloves to try and stop, and to hide my hideous fingers. I can't wear polish, even nail strengthener polish would be picked off within 3 days. I needed something I couldnt pick off, that would heal my super damaged nails, and I almost gave up. I was thinking about going back to the salon, and dreaded it, since I'm low on cash. Then I saw this product, read some reviews, and bought a jar. What a lifesaver this product has been for me. I didn't notice anything the 1st week, but I liked the gentle moisturizing feeling and the light scent. Man! In 3 weeks I started noticing my nail beds were healing. The rough scaley look was smoothing over. The peeling stopped. The sensitivity was gone. Now a tiny bit of white at the tips are growing out and I can feel them getting stronger. I am so thrilled! I have hope now that I can grow my nails out. No snagging anymore and no hiding my hands. Best yet, when I want to pick or bite my nails, I reach for my jar and start rubbing my nails with this awesome balm. I've only been using it 4 weeks, and wish I had before pics. I'll never go without it, it saved me a ton of money too, no salon visits ever again!!

Amazing for nail growth
I used to bite my nails very badly to the point where whenever I would go to a nail salon there was hardly anything to work with. Someone I know suggested this cream to help them grow and I have been using it consistently for about a month. I have noticed amazing results!! I couldn’t be happier, I finally have strong and healthy nails now and so much growth!! It also smells great.

Good product be careful of sensitive skin
So first I will say that the product smelled very good. Second I've only been using it for about a week and my nails look really good smooth and maybe a little bit stronger. Next I will say this - and please understand before I say it that my skin is extremely sensitive. I can't use bleach or chemicals and I have to work gloves when I wash dishes or my hands dry out and become painfully cracked and irritated very easily so this may not be relevant to most people-the skin around my nails has become very dry and flaky. So I started using a nail brush - the one pictured here with the container, this did not come with the container- this may work as long as I don't get it on the skin around my nails but I will definitely update this review to let everyone know. So far I can only give the product for stars but I will come back in another week after continuing to use the product and update this review. One more thing I will say is that I believe this jar should last me at least a few months if not more.

Noticeably stronger nails with regular use
I’ve been using Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof for a bit now, and I’ve seen a real improvement in the strength of my nails. They feel harder and less likely to peel or break, especially after regular application. The cream absorbs well and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling, which makes it easy to use daily. I like that a little goes a long way, and it works well around the cuticles too. With consistent use, my nails look healthier and grow better without splitting as much. This is a solid nail treatment and definitely worth trying if you struggle with weak or brittle nails. I would repurchase.

Makes nails hard again!
I’ve been using the Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream (Coconut scent) for a while now and it’s made a noticeable difference in my nails. They used to split and peel pretty easily, but since using this regularly they feel stronger, smoother, and healthier overall. The cream absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, so it’s easy to use throughout the day. The coconut scent is pleasant without being overpowering, which I appreciate. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts quite a while. It’s not an overnight miracle, but with consistent use I’ve definitely seen improvement in nail strength and growth. Overall, a solid product if you’re dealing with weak or brittle nails.

Works better than anticipated!
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!

My Mum used the original and said it was the best product she had ever used for her nails. This is nice too and I do like the coconut smell.

My nails have never been in fantastic shape but after I wore acrylic nails for a year in high school (15 years ago) they have just been super thin and brittle since - pile on top of that working in a factory and I just never really had nails - they were always chipped and ALWAYS peeling. I used this twice a day everyday for about a month maybe 2 and then would forget here and there so it got put on whenever I remembered - but have to say my nails are 2000% better than they were before - still thin but I think that's just what I got dealt for nails - very few chips and no more peeling and tons of length (for my nails) and it smells fantastic to boot
