At least I'm pretty sure it was ProStrong. <br />I have been a nail biter for most of my life. I grew my nails out once and then somehow started chewing again. A little over a year ago I started using glue-on fake nails. Then, I splurged for gel overlays. About 2 months ago I filed of what was left of the gel overlay. My nails were trashed. They were paper thin and what little was left was peeling.<br />I started using Dabu(Daby) to thicken and protect my nails. This worked great as long as I kept it on. But it kept peeling off my nails from the nailbed forward. I searched the internet and read some rather comical reviews of Quimica Alemana nail hardener. The reviews were raving about how well it worked. But they also mentioned some pain associated with it's usage.<br />Being desperate to keep my nails in good shape, and also being a little glutton for punishment, I ordered it. I have been using it for two weeks now and it worked miracles. I just took the coats of today (to recoat) and my nails are stronger and they look and feel healthier. Even my tips are whiter, and I'm a smoker. I did experience a little pain recently when I tried to put on a couple extra coats. But, it was nothing like the pain of which the reviews warned.<br />Note to my point, I had also read (in the reviews) that Quimica worked by changing the "makeup" of your fingernail. But it did not explain how or by what ingredient. Once I received the product I read the ingredients and saw the formaldehyde. Another google search and I came across this blog series. Thank you for writing it and explaining how the formaldehyde hardeners work. I think I am going to take a break from the Quimica and go back to Dabu for a little while. I plan on ordering the ProStrong (for use with the Dabu) and wil probably order the Dermanail. I am currently using argan oil and another oil-based nail moisturizer.<br />Thank you again!Losing It Allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658253199879501855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4348002612361149399.post-55512022257800101662013-02-12T12:57:23.392-05:002013-02-12T12:57:23.392-05:00So I'm a year and a half late, but...

I was wondering what your opinion of Orly Nailtrition is? I've seen it mentioned on MUA a few times now as a great treatment for peeling nails.

I just applied the product at the base of the nail, waited 30 seconds or so, then wiped off the excess. I would then apply a moisturizer immediately after and many times throughout the day.loodie loodie loodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318221967216439690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4348002612361149399.post-81136148689786435702012-02-14T21:49:48.744-05:002012-02-14T21:49:48.744-05:00Hi, I hope it is not too late to ask a question ab...Hi, I hope it is not too late to ask a question about this product.

I hope you have success.<br /><br />@tropicalaqua - Thank you!! :D<br /><br />That is a tough request mainly because "the best hardener/treatment" depends on what your current nail condition happens to be. If you choose a treatment that fits your criteria then it will be "the best" for you, but not necessarily someone else. Aside from that, each brand or treatment may have the same ingredients, but maybe slightly differet formulas that may be better for one person versus another. So you can see my dilema. Honestly I don't play favorites and am myself a total product h00r lol.<br /><br />With regard to top coat:<br />My general opinion on top coats is that I love them, all of them. Each has their own purpose either for a specific time of for a specific polish. <br /><br />I'll work on a post though to describe this further.loodie loodie loodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318221967216439690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4348002612361149399.post-51027874863772561122011-07-22T02:50:40.599-04:002011-07-22T02:50:40.599-04:00Wow, this is so informative, I love all your posts...Wow, this is so informative, I love all your posts in the series.<br /><br />Could you possibly give your two cents on the "popular" nail hardeners & top coats in which are best for their ingredients?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4348002612361149399.post-34576652476037444562011-06-19T03:11:52.139-04:002011-06-19T03:11:52.139-04:00Hi, can I share this on my blog?
