Revitanail 2 Step Revival Kit

I was stoked to be selected for the Revitanail trial. I work with water so my nails get very brittle and weak. They break very easily and had been looking a little worse for wear lately. I followed the instructions which were 2 coats the first day then 1 coat for the next 5 days, remove on day 7 then repeat. It is pretty simple and I didn't mind having to do this daily as it literally takes a minute to do. First the nail strengthener, the brush is great and makes applying a breeze. It goes on like clear polish and dries super fast which I love. I didn't find it had a strong smell, just smelt like regular nail polish. It makes your nails look beautiful and shiny and instantly makes them look better. It wasn't until week 2-3 that I noticed how much stronger my nails were. I had no breaking or snapping at all. I really feel like it helped so much. They are starting to get a good length on them too. I have used this for 4 weeks and barely made a dent in the bottle so I know this will last for ages. I will definitely continue to use it. Now the nourishing oil. I love the subtle smell of this! I simply did one swipe on my nails then massaged it into the nail and cuticle. I loved how relaxing this was and really enjoyed this part. It left a bit of a greasy residue but I just massaged it into my hands and it went away. I had dryness around my cuticles and this has gone totally now so I am quite impressed with this oil and feel it was very effective. Once again I have used this for 4 weeks and the bottle is still very full so I will get a lot of use from this. Overall I loved using the Revitanail duo and feel it has given me fantastic results.

I love this little duo! They are great on their own but even better together

The strengthener definitely hardens the nail, especially if you stick to the regime as documented on the packaging. I definitely had a noticeble improvement in my nails. Not to mention a glossy effect on the nails.

After using the strengthener the oil was perfect for nourishing the cuticles and fingers and definitely made up for the smell of the strengthener.

Will reccomend this to friends and even start on my toes to see what it will do there!

I have really weak nails that I can't let it grow like others do because it chips off before growing, that's the reason why I joined the 4-week Revitanail challenge. I wasn't expecting anything from using this but I was hoping for it to lessen the weakness of my nails.

So what are my thoughts after the challenge?

Honestly, first day from using this I noticed that my nails still chips off and that is definitely not a good sign but I decided to go on and continue with the challenge. After a week, I noticed that I didn't have to cut my nails off because it's getting better results (but I needed to cut it because of our scheduled spring cleaning). I continuously used it and I saw the effect of the oil to my cuticle, it was amazing that my nails are so much better than before.

After the 4-week challenge, I can see that my nails got a bit yellowish but can feel that it definitely got stronger. That's the only downside but I have decided to continuously use it even after the challenge to make my nails more stronger than today.

I hope after another month I can grow my nails and varnish it with pretty colors!

My nails and cuticles are very neglected. Nails constantly rip, flake and bend. My cuticles are a dry horrible mess.

This two step system is easy to use and yields great results.

Both products paint on like regular nail polish - the oil is massaged in after applying. It's a very simple process of applying a coat of strengthener every day, followed with the oil and then after a week removing it and starting again.

After the first use my nails looked nicer - they had a bit of a glow about them, maybe just because of the clear coat making them nice and shiny but I liked it. The strengthener is easy to apply and dries quite quickly. Followed with a quick massage in of oil and the whole process takes but a few minutes.

This did not make my nails grow quicker-but I don't think that's what it's meant to do. It did make my nails very strong. I have a few scratches on my knuckles from doing stuff-cleaning/making dinner where I have accidentally scraped a thumb nail over a knuckle and taken a chunk of skin off - my nails have indeed strengthened.

The only down side were my nails went slightly yellow which is never a good look. I just say I do think my nails are more prone to going yellow from nail polish more than other people so this may or may not affect you the same way. I also found when you did break a nail it was a big break, probably because before my nails would flex and bend more with impacts where as now they are a lot harder. This affects the 'longer' claim as I'd then have to trim all nails to make them even. I don't think either of those things has changed my opinion that i really like these products. I'm going to try doing the process over 4 days and then removing it to try and stop the yellowness.

I was so excited to receive this duo in the mail and see if it would actually help my nails, because they certainly needed all the help they could get!!! My nails have been so weak, peeling, splitting etc. All I wanted was for them to grow so I could do some cute nail art on them :P

I like the concept of this system, I found it quite therapeutic/relaxing to apply this everyday and then remove it at the end of the week and start again fresh. It was easy to use the Nail Strengthener, it's not too runny or too thick, and it dries down pretty quickly.

I was concerned that the Nourishing Oil would be too oily and mess with the application of the Strengthener, but I didn't find that to be the case at all. It too was easy to apply as it has a nail polish type applicator, and it sinks into the skin fairly quickly. It doesn't have an unpleasant smell either, it's almost like BioOil in it's fragrance. The Nail Strengthener does smell quite strong, but it's just like applying nail polish, do it in a ventilated area and you're fine.

I was quite excited to see this product working on my nails. From the second week of application I noticed my nails were no longer splitting, and they weren't peeling either. I have been wary in the past to use nail strengtheners/hardners as I was told that it can be counterproductive, your nails can break more easily as they become too hard. I think the combination with the Nourishing Oil creates the perfect balance of hydrated nails, whilst still keeping them strong.

My nails lasted well for my birthday and a university ball, but I have now had to cut and file them down for kickboxing :( I will definitely continue to use the duo, as instructed (it's not recommended for long term, I guess think of it as that extra TLC).

I got this set as a gift from the mama as a self pamper present. was never really a big fan of manicure type things, mostly because I don't have the time or effort to do so. At the time of receiving these I was milking cows. My hands were constantly wet and covered in poop and chemicals. My nails were non existent almost. They were brittle, peeling and broken. I didn't feel confident to show them at all. As a result these were bought for me and oh the difference.

The bottles are quite generous in size so the value is definitely there in that respect. It is a 4 week program which I felt was a lot of effort for me personally to stick to but my nails were so damaged I was willing to give it a go. The instructions say to brush on two coats of the strengthener on the first day and apply one coat each day for a week then remove and start again. On each day you apply the nourishing oil to the cuticles, massaging it in. I was worried that the strengthener may not stick or peel off because of the oil but it definitely works in harmony together and I didn't find that at all. It does have some wear on it from everyday activities but otherwise it's pretty robust. Even after the first 5 days I noticed a huge difference in the appearance and they were no longer breaking. My cuticles weren't bleeding and cracked like they had been either. Winning already and we are only at day 5!

The cuticle nourishing oil isn't as oily as you would think and it doesn't leave your hands slippery like I was imagining it would. It sinks in to the skin pretty quickly and I have grown to like massaging my fingers every morning.....weird I know but it's a small pampering win when it comes to my nails. The thing I like about this duo is that even though it's for the nails as a polish and oil it's not overly smelly of harsh chemicals like alot of nail polishes are. It mean's I can apply it anywhere without the husband getting a headache.

We are now at day 20 and the difference is night and day! Although my nails will always need help because they are always in water they are so much healthier looking than I could imagine. 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!

Day 39.....we reached the end of the system and the bottles are empty. My nails were in excellent condition!! I have already repurchased to carry on with the procedure. I am now pregnant and my nails are lacking in so much goodness. They are beginning to go backwards so time to begin the treatment over. I'm a believer!
