Revitanail by Manicare Nail Strengthener Review

This nail strengthener goes on just like clear nail polish. After a few coats, my nails do look really good. You do need to add a new coat everyday or there is a tendency for it to start flaking.

I'm not sure if my actual nails are stronger, but my nails look great after a week of treatment.

I have really weak nails, especially after getting acrylics (anyone who has had them will definitely understand). I wanted a semi-natural way to strengthen my nails without a huge amount of effort.

I used revitanail for a week as instructions recommended on the back of the product. You are supposed to apply two coats firstly, then one coat every day after that and after a week you are meant to remove and complete the routine again - I wasnt very impressed without sounding bitchy.

The texture of the product is very similar to clear nail polish, perhaps a little thicker. sets, dries and looks just like clear nail polish would. I mean it definitely strengthens my nails but now thinking about it I think clear nail polish would have done the exact same thing.

If I hadnt got it for free from the awesome beautyreview crew, I dont think I would personally purchase it but since I did, I will use it to the end of its use :) but like I said, very similar to clear nail polish (which can be purchased for as little as $2 gals)

I got this nail strengthener in the 'We Love Nails' beauty box.

I got going trying it as soon as I could as I really like the idea of strong nails.

Does it work? well, straight away my nails looked and felt better. I only used it for a few days, which some might say isn't long enough to know. Well, the problem is, I would've loved to keep going, but the smell was making me feel ill, and in the end I had such a hideous migraine, that it had to go. Such a shame, but it can't be helped. I don't like using varnish or nail polish remover for the same reason (acetate/acetone?).

If these smelly substances don't bother you, then by all means try this product, as from what I could see, it does work.

I was lucky to get this in the 'I love nails' BRBB it comes in a big bottle compared to nail Polish this is a 30ml bottle. Firstly you apply two coats to clean dry nails then another coat each day for five days on day seven you take it off and repeat the process three times then rest your nails for two or so weeks an repeat again. Well I followed the instructions for two months and my normally dry,peeling and splitting nails are the longest they have been for a long time it has definitely helped my nails. The product goes on really nice and is fast drying and looks just like clear nail polish.I will keep using it until it runs out very economic and lasts well I also will be purchasing more I like what it has done for my nails.

I was lucky enough to get this in the I love Nails box which came with my two for one TGIF deal. An unbelievably good bargain at the time. I'm not usually one to take all the steps I need to care for my nails. This box opened the door to helping me understand each step to care for my nails. During this year my nails have been dry and prone to breakages.

At first glance I thought this was a top coat but it wasn't. It's a fairly large sized glass bottle with a clear cloudy appearance within this bottle. On the reverse of this bottle it suggests to paint this on your nails daily for five days. The consistency of this is like a clear coat lacquer with a strong nail polish scent.

In two instances I gave this a try. Before I applying this I like to prepare my nails with filing them. Then I add this to my nails. With my nails in full shaped length I noticed that I had one breakage within four weeks. Which is a remarkable change as I normally have breakages on a weekly basis. With shortly trimmed nails I noticed a change within my nails as they began to grow out. Their not as rough on the ends and feel slightly thicker.

I've come to the conclusion that this product is great at strengthening my nails with the aid of nail care tools. Would I seek this product out again? Probably not as an individual product because it is a highly priced . But in a nail box with such a good value for money definitely.

This was the product in the BBBE nails box that had me sold on it. As my nails tend to flake and peel, this is exactly what I need to achieve long, strong and healthy nails.

This is the largest bottle of nail lacquer that I've ever seen, it's twice or more times the size of what they usually are. So although $35 seems like a lot for this product (did to me anyway), you get a huge amount of it.

The way in which you're supposed to use this product, seems a bit intense.. You're supposed to apply 2 coats to clean nails initially, then 1 coat for the next 5 days, and then remove it all on the 7th day. It's recommended that you repeat this process for 3 weeks in a row, and then give it a break for 1-2 weeks before starting the process again.

Well I have not been following these directions, but it's working for me anyway, and I've been using it for 3 weeks. I've been using 2 coats as a base, with color polish over top, removing and reapplying every 2-3 days.

My nails have definitely gotten stronger since using this product, they're no longer flaking and peeling. I've still had a few breakages, but not as much as I would usually experience without the strengthener. Ultimately my nails are longer than they would usually get due to improved health and strength, and I assume that the result would be greater if I used the product as recommended.

The consistency is like any regular clear coat and dries quickly. The brush is fine, nothing remarkable but it applies the lacquer nicely.

I'm quite happy with the results of this strengthener, does the job it's supposed to. I may or may not repurchase, depending on what if any other similar products come to my attention in the meantime.

I got this in the recent vault with high expectations on my mind. I have tried other Revitanail products and found that they worked well. I have very brittle nails that flake and split if you just look at them wrong. I am on a mission to make them the healthiest they can be, hence why this found its way in to my cart.

When I received it I was blown away with how big the bottle was. It would be two nail polish bottles in one go, value plus! It looks just like clear polish which suits me perfectly. I shy away from polishes at times because of the wear and chipping making them look ragged and gross. For this reason clear is my friend!

The brush for me is a little too thin. It takes a good five swipes to get the whole nail. It says coat twice on first day then every day for five days. This to me is no time at all so I hope it works that fast. The consistency is just like clear polish maybe crossed with a serum. It smells strong like a polish and can give me a headache if I don't sit in an aired room. It glides on with no bubbles or trouble making it look sleek and perfect.

My nails now look like I buff them. They are shiny, stronger and look great. This all sounds well and good until it comes to the time factor. The five days came and went with no real huge impact on my nails. In that time I broke two nails right off by just making my bed. Ten days came and that is when I noticed the difference, They didn't flake, they no longer split or break. I did find the amount of time a tad ridiculous though considering it said 5 days. I can kinda see why you need to reapply everyday though, it chips! Lucky for me it's clear and not noticeable but I need to know they are looking good.

In conclusion, this is good but not great. It did what it was supposed to but not in the time frame specified. My nails very quickly became fragile after a couple of days though. So in all honesty for them to maintain strength I would have to have this on my nails at all times it seems. No thanks, I like pretty nails too.

I like this nail treatment, although I confess to not having the power to stick at it, so I don't see all the benefits. Firstly, the bottle is larger than a normal polish, so you get a lot of product. Unfortunately I have been spoilt by larger brushes from Sally Hansen, so now I find this brush is ok, but could be better. Due to using the polish daily, the top does get a bit clogging with dry polish. (see tip). When applied, nails immediately look better - it hides dryness, and generally looks as good as any clear nail polish for the first few days. At about day 3 (4th layer of polish) I get a bit over it. I struggle with that much polish on my nails, so I pick at them (naughty Naughty), then I will forget to put more on and they start to look weird (kind of scaley?) so I remove the polish at this point - if my nails are lucky, I might have made it to day 5. and I start again. Nails definitely improve, however I'm skeptical as to whether this is me not putting other things on my nails, providing a protective layer against dish-washing liquid etc, and for the first few days at least, treating them with a bit more care. Also, the 3 weeks, allow growth to happen - so the less healthy nails get filed off. Overall, does it really matter what is working here? my nails are healthier looking from using this treatment.

I recently had a manicure at which the manicurist over buffed my nails, leaving them splitting and chipping the minute I left the salon. After two horrible days of catching horrible nails, I removed the polish and filed them short and applied this nail strengthener (which I have had in my collect tin for ages but barely used). It has been amazing and my nails are no longer getting damaged so easily. This is a clear polish treatment program type thing. You apply one coat a day for 7 days and then remove it and repeat the process. You do this 3 times and then let your nails have a rest for a week or two then begin again. I also use the matching nourishing oil regularly too. It comes in a very generous sized bottle but does have a very strong chemical scent while applying. I have done this for the last 2 weeks and my nail are so much better and stronger, a couple of the ones she really buffed are still bendy but they aren't breaking so it's defiantly working. The bottle says you need to wait 3-4 weeks after removing extensions before using this product.
