The most awesomeness balm! Best product of the year!
I'll start by telling you, I was an acrylic junkie starting back in 1990 and wore acrylic nails consistently until last fall. About 5 years ago I switched to the powder and then to gel nails shortly after that. After all those years of fake nails, without a break, plus I am a picker of nails when they feel like they're lifting. If all 10 nails lasted 2 full weeks I was lucky. I usually couldn't help myself and picked them off completely before going back to the salon. It was so embarrassing. My nail beds were in shambles, they were thinner than paper. After I stopped the fake nails, tasks like folding clothes were a pain, they snagged my clothing, were sensitive under warm water, and just a mess. I bit my nails to the quicks. I was wearing gloves to try and stop, and to hide my hideous fingers. I can't wear polish, even nail strengthener polish would be picked off within 3 days. I needed something I couldnt pick off, that would heal my super damaged nails, and I almost gave up. I was thinking about going back to the salon, and dreaded it, since I'm low on cash. Then I saw this product, read some reviews, and bought a jar. What a lifesaver this product has been for me. I didn't notice anything the 1st week, but I liked the gentle moisturizing feeling and the light scent. Man! In 3 weeks I started noticing my nail beds were healing. The rough scaley look was smoothing over. The peeling stopped. The sensitivity was gone. Now a tiny bit of white at the tips are growing out and I can feel them getting stronger. I am so thrilled! I have hope now that I can grow my nails out. No snagging anymore and no hiding my hands. Best yet, when I want to pick or bite my nails, I reach for my jar and start rubbing my nails with this awesome balm. I've only been using it 4 weeks, and wish I had before pics. I'll never go without it, it saved me a ton of money too, no salon visits ever again!!

Noticeably stronger nails with regular use
I’ve been using Onyx Professional Hard as Hoof for a bit now, and I’ve seen a real improvement in the strength of my nails. They feel harder and less likely to peel or break, especially after regular application. The cream absorbs well and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling, which makes it easy to use daily. I like that a little goes a long way, and it works well around the cuticles too. With consistent use, my nails look healthier and grow better without splitting as much. This is a solid nail treatment and definitely worth trying if you struggle with weak or brittle nails. I would repurchase.

Worked Fine, Fragrance Free Smelled Like Play Doh
The cream was fine, and kept my nails moisturized, which helps with breakage. However, the unscented smell was a little off putting. It almost smelled like play doh. However, i cannot use any of their scented lines, since i am allergic to their fragrance. I have sensitive skin, so only the version of this that I can use is the fragrance free version.

Saved my nails and cuticles are unrecognizable - this is a miracle product!!
I bought this after watching many TikTok’s recommending it. You really only need a little bit of product, and you can apply it multiple times throughout the day, and this has saved my nails! I even got my partner to use it, and they don’t do nail care, but me personally, I use nail strips and paint my nails, and do gel nails, and this product has genuinely helped, restore the strength, quality, smoothness, and general appearance of my nail beds. I always thought I was pushing my cuticles back sufficiently, but if you use a little bit of this product and then push your cuticles back, oh my goodness, I was shocked out much better of a results I got! I purchased this for my nails to help keep them healthy in between gel, nail manicures, or using nail art strips, and I am definitely going to be a lifetime user for doing that, but also just general nailed strength and appearance, I’ve even started using it on my toenails, which I never cared too much for their appearance before, but now I understand how easy it can be easy to get good looking nails that you can be proud of.

Works better than anticipated!
I have EXTREMELY thin nails that peel, crack, and sometimes don't even grow in. I have dry cuticles that sometimes get sore and are often ragged and peeling. I've had a lifetime of unsightly and painful nails. I researched a LOT before settling on this product. I also have MCAS and am sensitive to fragrances and chemicals, so I was nervous! First of all, the container is well-designed. It's pretty and it's easy to open if you have arthritis. It's a screw top lid that is large enough to be comfortable in the palm of your hand for opening, and there's a little plastic piece that sits atop the cream to help keep it sealed. There is no fragrance- and I mean, none. Olive oil smells stronger than this! It's thick enough to spread onto your nails and nailbeds (and recommends that you put it UNDER your nails too, which I do when my nails are long enough to do so). It soaks in pretty quickly and isn't too greasy and doesn't feel "heavy" or give me sensory overload. I usually use it before bed. I noticed a difference IMMEDIATELY. By day 3, I could tap my nails on the table and feel that they were stronger and not bending under. Their growth pattern changed and there were less ridges, growing straight out instead of curving around my fingertips, less splintering along the edges, and my cuticles stopped peeling as much. I'm extremely impressed and can honestly say that this product improved my quality of life, since thin nails are often painful. I have so much less soreness in my nail beds now!

My Mum used the original and said it was the best product she had ever used for her nails. This is nice too and I do like the coconut smell.
