Made a huge difference

I give my nails a tough time, always working in the garden, fixing things, mechanical repairs and sanding/doing up furniture. More often I forget gloves but I like to feel what I’m doing but unfortunately my nails suffer. I also found that post menopause they just weren’t growing. I purchased all sorts of creams and nail solutions over a year or so but nothing made a notable difference until I tried this product. Results didn’t take long, within the first 2 weeks my nails were stronger, healthier looking. It’s now my go to when I feel my nails need a boost so I use periodically throughout the year and instead of my nails breaking, I trim them. Good product, recommend

Great Nail Fix

I've had soft nails for years that peel off right when they start to get a bit longer. This little duo has helped alot. Each night I rub my cuticles and fingers with the oil. The nail strengther goes on layer by layer. Even just applying the polish helps firm the nail straight off and over time hardens and strengthens the nail. Give it a try.

it’s okay...

this stuff isn’t bad nor is it amazing. i found it definitely did strengthen my nails but it really stopped the growth of them, for each 7 day treatment my nails did not grow even a mm. i found as soon as i removed the treatment for the rest period my nails grew much quicker! it does absolutely strengthen your nails it just takes a while.

Hullo strong nails!

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!

Dynamic duo

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this nail strengthener and nourishing oil care pack. I have very weak nails. They are quite clear in the white part of the nail, and they break and peel easily. My cuticles get quite dry, and I have dry skin and hangnails around my fingernails.

I have tried nail strengtheners before, but not an actual nail strengthening program. The strengtheners I have previously tried were just clear polish that you paint and leave on until they wear off. I never saw much difference in my nails from using them.

Revitanail's strengthening programme is actually a 28 day treatment cycle. You paint 2 coats of the strengethener on your nails on the first day, and then once each day for the next 5 days. On the 7th day you remove with nail polish remover, and then repeat the process for 21 more days.

The nourishing oil you apply to your cuticles everyday, including when you are resting your nails between treatment cycles.

The nail strengthener is clear, and goes on like a clear nail polish. It dries quickly and gives the nails a shiny clear sheen. It comes in a glass 14ml clear nail polish bottle with a black lid. The smell is strong, but no stronger than regular nail polish. The only disappointment is that the brush is quite small. I prefer those wide, flat brushes that some brands have introduced for nail polishes now.

The nourishing oil has similar packaging: a clear, 14ml bottle with a black lid and small brush. The oil has a very mild scent, and is easy to rub into the cuticles.

I carefully followed the routine. While using Revitanail I did not use any other nail polish from any other brand. The only other nail products I used from other brands were a nail polish remover, and a hand cream.

I have actually seen an improvement in my nails. I was not expecting any kind of miracle, as my nails are so weak and sad that I don't think they will ever be as strong as other peoples'. I also do a lot of manual handling in my job, which does not help. However, I have noticed less breakage of my nails. They still break, but not as easily as before. The biggest difference is that the white part of my nails is noticeably whiter, and less transparent than before. Very white nail tips are something that I think people with strong nails always naturally have.

I have also seen an improvement in my cuticles. I get quite a lot of dry skin and hangnails around my nail bed and under my fingernails. Using the cuticle oil everyday has really helped to moisturise and soften my dry skin. There has definitely been an improvement.

I will keep going with this treatment now that the trial is done, and hopefully my nails and cuticles will improve even more.

I'm unsure!

After 4 weeks of using this trio I'm still not sure if I am completely sold. A few of my nails have done extremely well and I've gained quite a bit of length on some of them, but I'm not sure that they are all much stronger, I have been trying to take extra care in looking after my hands and nails while trialing these products.

I found that the polish would often come away from the sides and start to sort of peel off, then once I took the polish off my nails would start to snag and peel, so frustrating!

The cuticle oil was okay, but not too sure how much of a difference it has made, I usually use a hand cream during the day and I feel like they both do the same thing, do not sure if I need an extra product just for cuticles?

I do love how shiny and healthy my nails have been looking (apart from when the polish starts looking a bit crusty haha), also the product goes a very long way, this will last me easily another few months which is awesome.

Golden Duo

I feel using these products together is must if you have dry, weak, damaged nails and cuticles. I suffer from eczema and dermatitis on my hands which also contributes to my poor nail quality and so I found this combination not only strengthened my nails but helped to protect and nourish them too. The overall appearance is significant;y improved and breakage has decreased and peeling completely gone. I can see and feel the difference and it's a super easy treatment to use. The Strengthener doesn't smell bad and you don't use a lot. The oil smells lovely and is a nice nighttime ritual to care for your hands and I had no negative reaction or sensitivity to it. These really work and are great value for money.

Off to a promising start but...

My nails are a mess! They're very bendy, ridged, break easily and my cuticles look dry and ragged. I'd heard great things about this duo so I was quick to volunteer my nails for the cause for this trial.

I liked the ease of use of these products. You apply two coats of the strengthener which looks and smells like a thin, almost clear nail polish. It dries really quickly - the first coat is already dried by the time you get to the second coat. You then apply the oil and massage in for a minute This instantly makes your nails look better by giving them a nice shine. You then apply another coat each day for a week, then remove all the strengthener then start again. This is quick and easy to do whilst watching tv so I found it was a routine I could easily stick to.

The results during the first two weeks of using this were great as I didn't have any breakages at all! Sadly my nails began to snag and break in the following two weeks. By the end of the four week trial, my nails looked worse than before I started. My cuticles did look much better but they did start to look a bit ragged again after a few weeks.

On the plus side, I used hardly any product during the 4 weeks so this duo will last for months. It seems to work well for other reviewers so I will give it another go after the suggested two week break from application. Hopefully I'll have better results with prolonged use. I will definitely keep using the oil as this was the better product out of the two for me.

Interesting as clear nail polish, regardless of brand, does this to my nails.

Have seen such a difference in my nails!!!

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).

Tough as nails

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.
