Damaged nails : (

I trashed my nails at work the past few weeks. When I say trashed, I mean chipped, peeling, cracked and broken ( and maybe a little chewed). They look horrible. The tips are uneven both in length and on the surface. I went searching for some help. I love Nutra Nail products and decided to try something new.... Nutra Nail Mineral Collection "Iron Strength." It contains Iron, Zinc and Selenium which is suppose to make your nails tougher and more durable. First, I filed the surface of my nails a little to get rid of any peeling edges and even out the tips. Now I have super short, sad looking nails, that barely extend beyond  my nail beds : (  Next, I applied 2 coats of  Nutra Nail  "Iron Strength" to clean, dry nails. The formula goes on very smooth and it's clear so it won't discolor your nails, so you can use it alone or as a base coat. The weak spots don't seem as weak and the clear coat gives a nice shine to my short pitiful nails.




I also bought a small container of "Healthy Hoof." Don't laugh, it works for human nails just as well. It helps to strengthen nails and condition cuticles. You know you need to moisturize your hands, nails and cuticles to keep them beautiful, this stuff does the trick. A little on each finger around the cuticles or directly over dry un-polished nails to strengthen and protect them. I put a little bit on after I polish to protect my cuticles. This stuff makes them soft and prevents cracking and hang nails. It stays on for a while, even after some hand washing. For great results, apply 2-3 times a day.



I bought both products at CVS. Nutra Nail runs about $5-$8 and Healthy Hoof $3-$5.
