The most awesomeness balm! Best product of the year!
Color: Coconut Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
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!! ... show more

It seems to be working well!
Color: Coconut Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I do believe this cream has helped my cuticles and nails. I keep it beside my chair and rub some in while watching tv in the evenings. Feels good and smells good. My nails have improved and I hope will continue to do so! I have used it for about a month or so.

Great product that really works-bad scent
Color: Coconut Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I gotta say I was skeptical about the effectiveness of this cream but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a go. I haven’t thin nails that tend to bend and peel. I wanted to wait to write the review till I ad been using it for a bit. I gotta say after a week I could tell my nails were stronger. It’s been 2 weeks now and I no longer feel worried that my nails will break without my normal nail strengthening polish. My nails are bare for the first time in I don’t know how long. No peeling. No way! Here’s the downside. The smell. I got the coconut thinking it would probably not smell too bad. But I don’t like it. You require so little lotion it’s going to take forever to go through the jar. It smells like old lady makeup/lipstick. I’m 51 saying this so you know it’s not good. That being said I will try the other scent next time. The product really does work and I’m so happy I found it. ... show more

Highly recommend!
Color: Coconut Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've used this cream for years and reorder it every time I run out. This is one of the most effective products in my nail care routine! It's rich without feeling greasy, absorbs well, and keeps my cuticles and nails moisturized. I've noticed a real difference in the health of my nails when I use it consistently. I massage a small amount into my nails and cuticles before bed each night, and it helps keep my hands, fingers, cuticles, and nails hydrated and looking and feeling healthier. It's great for recovery for my nails after removing acrylic and gel, and I notice my nails grow really fast when I use it consistently. A little goes a long way, the coconut scent is pleasant without being overpowering, and one jar lasts a surprisingly long time. If you're trying to grow stronger, healthier nails, I'd definitely recommend giving this a try. This would also make a great gift! ... show more

I love the results, helps keep my troublesome nails in check, part of my routine.
Color: Coconut Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My nails have always been a problem - and yes, I too did the complete array - silk, powder, gel... it was time to give that habit up, and it has taken quite some time for the nail-beds to recover. I will mention that this is only one piece to getting my nails sorted, as I started with nutrition - adding vitamins, protein and calcium to my diet, as my dermatologist advised - it was a major part of getting my nails right, and skipping that can also wreak havoc with my nails weeks - even months - after a lapse. I finally have a routine that gives me presentable nails, without too onerous a routine. This nail conditioner is a key part of that routine. I rub lotion into my hands and this on my fingertips last thing at night, then pull on a pair of inexpensive cotton gloves for sleeping (from Amazon😉). I do a manicure once a week. I generously coat rub my cuticles and nail-bed, spend some time massaging it in, and let let it soak in for 5-20 minutes as part of the manicure, and rub it into my cuticles & nails after using strong cleaning products. I am a picker/nail biter, and just like alcoholics, it is a daily struggle... are there meetings I should attend? When my fingers have had a bad day, rubbing this into my fingertips soothes as well as smooths, and they are less ragged, and less red and sensitive almost immediately. Over time, my cuticles have become healthier, smoother, and less "snaggy", and my nails flake and break less when I stick to this routine - less picking and biting! It is less expensive than many more costly products that I have tried with less success - and definitely less expensive than the fake nail routine, and less time consuming. The scent is mild, and rinses off well. We have a very dry climate, and hands turn into sandpaper without constant attention, so I have started rubbing it into my hands as well as that part of the manicure, it makes them incredibly soft. As to hardening the nails, It does not fix that overnight - I used it for a month before I saw results I could be sure were from this treatment. Apparently it needs to be worked into the growing portion, and doesn't seem to have as strengthening an effect on the "already grown" cuticles and growth past the nail-bed, so it doesn't show up until the new nail and cuticle grows out. However, now that I have been using it, I can really tell the difference when I "skip" it... a couple of weeks later with snags, splits, and softer nails. I have tried replacing this step with regular lotion, and with other nail treatments, but I keep coming back to this, the reasonable price lets me afford to slather it on generously, it soothes, smooths and over time strengthens so, I love it. ... show more

AMAZING Product for Broken Nails
Color: Unscented Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I cracked my thumb nail about half way down, and I thought for sure it would totally break and the crack would continue across, basically destroying my nail and making me need to wear a bandaid for weeks to protect the finger (which has happened to me before, I have very weak nails). Hard as Hoof is a TOTAL game changer. I wish I'd taken a "before" photo so I could really show how well it works, but if you look at the photo attached to my review and see where the break is, it is trending downwards. All of my friends said it was a lost cause and I should cut it to avoid the downward break ripping further and causing more issues. I really didn't want to do that again (I've had nails that were basically completely ripped off because they caught on something before, and it's literally a huge pain), so I tried Hard as Hoof on a lark since I had nothing to lose. It's been about two weeks using it, and not only has my nail not ripped, but it really does seem to have become more sturdy. Before, I could apply pressure on the back of the nail and I could visually see the nail separate at the crack site. I don't know how they did it, but that's been fixed after using this. My entire nail looks healthier too, but I'm most impressed by whatever happened to fix the break. I've never been able to to weeks without a broken nail getting totally destroyed before, even with the (many) other products I've tried. I'm incredibly impressed and will definitely be buying this again! ... show more

Impressive!
Color: Cherry Almond Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I wouldn’t exactly call this a miracle but I am very impressed! I have been using this for a little over a month and my nails are doing better than ever, almost getting long (actually long for me). I bought this out of desperation - my nails were splitting and peeling. They were horrible! I do take the vitamin “Hair, Skin & Nails” but it seems to be working mostly on my hair. I have to admit I garden, clean house and wash the occasional dish without gloves. So that doesn’t help. And my nails are soft and rather thin to begin with. I don’t need a model’s hands just ones I don’t want to hide. So I was pretty faithful about 3x a day for the first few weeks, now 2x. I bought glass nail files and kept gently filing down the split nails. They have grown out with no more splitting. Yeah! One thing I think that has helped is making sure to get this cream on the inside of the tip of my nails. My thumb nail that had peeled quit a way back has grown out even though the edge is still thinner (usually that results in splitting way down). I am VERY HAPPY with the results and plan on continuing to use this. Oh, and I love this scent - not too strong but a pleasant almond smell. ... show more

Excellent help/healing for "damaged" nails.
Color: Cherry Almond Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I took off my fake nails at the end of May 2026. I ordered this because my nails were "painfully" thin and I didn't want to go back to acrylic again. It took about one month of daily use for my nails to stop breaking, I am now painting my nails and there is no indication of how damaged they were. My nails have grown out completely, surprisingly, within only 3 months. This was so helpful, and you just use a small bit, so I have 1/2 of the jar still left. I use it sporadically now because I love the smell and it feels really good on your hands. I would definitely recommend for anyone going through the process of healing your nails after years of Acrylic abuse. ... show more
