Disappointing duo

I was really excited to be selected to trial this range. Pre-pregnancy my nails were awesome, but two pregnancies back-to-back coupled with HG meant my nails are now brittle, flakey, and breaking left, right and centre.

I had high hopes for the Revitanail system. Sadly, the formaldehyde in the polish, coupled with it flaking off all the time; and the weak oil, meant my excitement quickly faded.

Yes, my nails were slightly stronger, and they haven't flaked. But, they have chipped. I haven't found my nails are stronger without the polish though - so they haven't strengthened in themselves, the polish gives them the strength.

The system is also tedious (repeat for 23 days then a break, then start again).

And, let's repeat again so it's clear. Formaldehyde is present. It doesn't state at what concentration but because this is a system you're using over many, many days, you're getting exposed to it every day.

Tips: Read the ingredients and make up your own mind.

Longer and somewhat stronger

I've been using this duo daily for 3 weeks now, and I have seen enough improvements to make it worth my while. Admittedly, my nails were in a very poor condition to begin with; brittle cracks went from the tips down about half way to my nail bed for my thumbs (not through to the skin, but in layers). They were very filmsy and could bend easily (and snap if hit fast).

Both of these products will go a long way. After daily use for 3 weeks I've barely touched either. The bristles of the brushes are both quite coarse and made of thick plastic strands, but not a biggie for me as the polish and oil glides on easily. The strengthener dries quite quickly which I really like. I'm not so much of a fan of the oil though because it feels greasy and I have to wipe away the excess off my fingertips before moving onto anything else.

I'm not blown away with but am happy with the results. I think they're mainly due to the strengthener rather than the oil. Although there is still cracking on the top of one thumb nail it doesn't go far down, and the other thumb doesn't show any cracking at all. I know that having the strengthener has saved several of my nails from breaking since using it. They are longer, and strangely enough stronger but to different degrees. What I do not like is that the bottoms of underneath my nails are see through (something that happens if I wear polish but hadn't expected for a see through strengthener).

All up I wouldn't buy the duo but having the strengthener as basically a constant/regular treatment for my nails seems like a good option. Especially given how long one bottle will last me.

Awesome Duet

Both products come in the Revitanail red and black boxed which look really smart. The nail strengthener is similar to a clear nail polish and easy to apply.My nails have improved so much with following the cycle and currently in the gap week and my nails are still hard and strong against the soft flakey nails I had at the beginning of this process. The smell is strong but soon disappears and the product on my nails just looks like a clear polish. The nourishing oil has improved my cuticles and repaired some dry skin with regular massage. The mix of oils in this product is really good with apricot oil ,almond and jojoba as part of the ingredients. The combination of these two products has really improved my nails and cuticles and as I am an avid gardener I have tested to the limit. Both products are easy to apply and worth the small effort it takes to use. Only problem I had was removing the strengthener however small price to pay.

Tips: Get in habit of applying while watching TV at night and won't seem like a chore -Well worth the effort.

Pretty good

I’m pretty happy with my results, I almost don’t recognise my own nails. While my nails aren’t super crazy long they are the longest they have been in some time, they usually peel and break so easily and can be extremely prone to snapping if I attempt to grow them. They now look really healthy and are strong without snapping so they have just the right amount of bend to them.

I found the system super easy to use and love that the revitanail strengthener and the oil don’t take long to dry so I can continue my day without having to wait around for ages for my nails to dry. I like that both the products are not high in fragrance which makes them very pleasant to use, especially before bedtime.

Overall I’m really happy with how my nails are looking and will continue with the system for a few more rounds and see how they progress from here. Thanks so much beauty review for the chance to try this out, its really nice to be able to show my nails off instead of covering them in shame ;)

Great Nail combo for healthy and strong nails

I found this strengthener and oil combo really quick and easy to use and would recommend you take a couple of minutes out of your day to sit back, relax and nurture your nails!

I found the strengthener really quick and easy to apply and by the time you'd applied it and waited a minute, it was dry and ready for the oil to be massaged in. The oil involved applying a couple of strokes of the brush over each nail and then massaging into the cuticles and nails. It took a little while for the oil to get absorbed but not too long! I would definitely recommend this combo if you have dry, cracked or damaged nails (like mine!) Using these takes a little bit more time to apply but the benefits are really worth the effort!

Revitanail Care Pack

Thank you again Beauty review for allowing me to trial both of these products. I have had dry flaky cuticles and weak brittle nails for maybe my whole life?

I have reviewed each of these products separately so there's a combination I feel they work great together and I would assume that they would work great separately as well as they both do two different things.

My nails are definitely stronger as they are currently at a linked that they would normally break and they haven't yet. My cuticles look a lot more healthier and don't peel like they used to.

I will put an up-to-date photo on the photo wall tonight as i am really happy. My nails aren't perfect looking yet but I feel that within another week or so they will look even better.

I would repurchase these products in the future and I do recommend them.

Tips: Apply the nourishing oil at night time on your cuticles and allow it to work it's magic overnight.

Try not to apply the strengthening nail varnish to your cuticles either.

Nail care pack

I have weak dry nails and I haven’t been able to find a solution for it, so I was very excited to be chosen to be part of this trial team. I followed the instructions and currently on my 3rd week of the 4 week nail challenge. I first applied the Revitanail Nail Strengthener and let that dry before I applied the Nourishing Oil.

I applied Revitanail Nail Strengthener onto my nails as if it were nail polish. It just looked like clear nail polish once it dried and it kind of looked like I got a manicure as well. The Nail Strengthener was light and dried very quickly. As the instructions I applied it on every day and removed it at the end of end week, then started the same process again. The thing I didn’t like about it was that parts of it would come off in the shower. I love that many of my nails haven’t broken as easily as they would normally do.

The brush for the Nourishing Oil was gentle, and I just applied it on to my nails like I do with nail polish. I let it sit there for a bit before I massaged it into my cuticles and nails. The Revitanail Nourishing Oil felt light and non-greasy and it easily absorbed into my nails and skin. This product is amazing! My cuticles and the skin around my nails weren’t dry anymore, which was a struggle for me in the past. My nails also weren’t dry and no new cracks have shown up. I recommend this product to anyone who has weak, dry nails.

Tips: Apply the Nail Strengthener before the Nourishing Oil for the best results

Love my 'new' nails!!

I was keen to try these product as my nails are brittle and split easily, and my cuticles are often unsightly despite using hand cream regularly. I'd always wanted to have long and strong natural nails but they never seem to grow further than the tips of my fingers before breaking/splitting. These products are so easy to use, they go on like nail polish and dry quickly. I love how the strengthener makes my nails shiny like they've just been manicured, and the oil improves the appearance of my cuticles. After four weeks of the trial I'm amazed at how long and strong my nails are! I love them! Looking at the photos I took at the beginning of the trial and the ones I took after four weeks, there's a definite difference in the length, appearance and strength of my nails. I love the results these products have produced and will gladly buy them again, and recommend to my family and friends.

Tips: Make the applications of the products part of a five-minute mini-pamper session, in conjunction with your regular hand cream - your nails will thank you for it.

Strong nails

My nails have always been brittle and weak. They can sometimes get folded backwards (ouch!) and can tear really easily.

The pack comes with super clear instructions.

The strengthener smells quite strong like a regular nail polish. It did make my nails feel stronger and less brittle. You only need a bit of it on each nail and the bottle will really last a long time.

The oil doesn’t have a smell at all. I was expecting really greasy feeling fingers afterwards but the oil soaks in quite quickly.

I would probably use the oil more than the strengthener because it helps to hydrate the cuticle and the skin around my nails which is quite dry at times.

Tips: A little goes a long way! Place a drop of oil at the top of each nail and rub it in on the nail and the skin around it

Half Good Half Bad

I got to review both these products through being selecting for the trial. Both of these products come in black and red packaging and look really smart.

The nourishing oil I highly recommend for nourishing cuticles and nails. Easy application and use, can be used as often as needed. This product gives a salon look finish and does work.

The Nail Strengthener I wasn't so impressed with. It looks nice on and does strengthen nails somewhat but not to the extent of what the claims are. (repair soft weak and damaged nails) I had actually broken 4 and half nails during my trial and believe that my nails are actually weaker having used this product. I wouldn't recommend it.

As a 2 product regime, I would highly recommend the Nourishing Oil but would give the Nail Strengthener a miss.

Tips: Nourishing oil highly recommended and can be used daily for treatment of nails and cuticles. Nail Strengthener makes a nice and simple clear coat.
