Long ago I came to the conclusion that the saying 'hard as nails' had absolutely nothing to do with the nails on our fingers. I'd say my nails are in pretty good condition, but that doesn't stop them from bending the wrong way when peeling back the tab on a can of sparkling water, or breaking when caught on something, or looking dull and raggedy (not to mention the chipped state of my nail polish) after doing a bunch of housework.
Luckily there is a bunch of fantastic products on the market to help our nails stay or get back into great condition! Here are five of the best as used and reviewed by Beauty Review members!
1. Manicare Nail Polish Remover Pads
RATED: 4.6/5!
Beauty Review Member Cassandramarie says: I love the concept of this product - so convenient and compact! And acetone free so even better! The scent is pleasant but not too overpowering. It leaves my nails and cuticles feeling moisturised due to the Vitamin E added
2. Manicare Nail Buffer 4-way
RATED: 4.5/5!
Beauty Review Member Nicola_yeah says: I love this buffer so much. It's a one stop shop to beautiful look nails if you like them unpainted and natural or a great way to start a polish job as your polish goes on so much nicer on fresh smooth nails.
3. Revitanail Hand and Nail Cream
RATED: 4.4/5
Beauty Review Member Tania24 says: Great hand moisturiser, my hands were so dry and so were my nail cuticles, and I started to use and noticed a huge improvement on the dryness of my skin, my cuticles were no longer cracked and sore.
4. Revitanail 2 Step Revival Kit
RATED: 4.2/5
Beauty Review Member Shana_Banana84 says: We are now at day 20 and the difference is night and day! They have grown so much to the point that they look like girls nails now yay. There is no more flaking/peeling or breakages. They are so strong that after having my finger trod on my a yearling my nail didn't break, nor my finger for that matter luckily. They are in the best condition of my adult life!
5. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails
RATED: 4/5
Beauty Review Member Mixy says: I've used this on and off for a couple of years now and it never fails me. ...No more splits and I actually found that my nails actually grew faster using it, probably because they weren't splitting all the time!! I found it really good as a base coat and it dries super quick too.
I’ve had the Manicare Nail Buffer 4-way for yearssss now. I got it over 10 years ago and it’s still good as new. I’ve never had to replace it.. yet. This is a well made product that leaves your nails amazing!
