LOL -- gotcha . This is my PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT......I recently bought a fingernail "polish", called HOOF. I believe I got it at Walmart, but not sure. It's a clear base.....and it's WOnDERFUL!!!! I've always had trouble with peeling, breaking, UGLY nails. Finally gave up years ago and started wearing fake nails. Once I retired, I said to heck with it and quit wearing them. Found this HOOF and WOW! My nails are as long as the fake ones and as HARD as acrylic! My nails don't feel "heavy" or like I have anything on them, either! Tonight, I actually polished my nails!!! WOW! So, this PSA is my gift to you all!!!!! :-P

Thanks, I'm going to try it. Mine are sometimes soft and tear or break so easily.

I'll have to look for that. I've been using something by Nutra Nail that has kevlar. It's a clear polish and helps keep my nails from splitting. It also wears well. Is the HOOF a polish or a nail strengthener?

Thank you for the PSA :D:D:D

It says "HOOF", naturally strong, bamboo strengthening treatment

thanks, i'll try to find some. mine are drying out so much they are always needing filing. drives me nuts.

Thanks...next time I go shopping, I'm gonna have to get some. My job is rough on nails and they are always breaking.
:( .

thanks, wow, I want to try to find some also

OH me too. My nails are so thin they chip and break just touching them too hard. Hoof here I come. Thanks for the PSA.

Thank You so much for this tip. :thumbup: I will be going to find this real soon! I have 3 nails that start bending downward on the corners after they barely get out over the tip of my fingers. Do any of you know what causes this? And what can be done about it?

Thank you so much for the tip! I work in a hospital and am constantly washing my hands and using hand sanitizer. My hands are so dry and my nails are an embarrassment to me. :oops: They peel, crack and look awful. I am heading to Walmart later today and hopefully will be able to find this.

I don't know what causes it, but I have one nail that used to do that. I started pressing it down...and kept it really short -- even when it did try to grow. Since using hoof, I haven't got the problem!!! I'd forgotten about it till you mentioned it!

Wow, Thanks. My nails are so ugly!

Does anyone know why nails peel, break easily, etc.? I was taking 2 calcium pills a day but doc said to stop as too much calcium can cause calcium kidney stones. I'm looking for Hoof next time at WM. Thanks for the tip.

No, I don't know --I know mine did that for a long time. They told me it was because my hands were in water all the time and to use gloves --- I did, that didn't help. I tried everything -- calcium, Knox geletin, gloves, putting soap under my nails when working outside (WHAT nails????). Nothing worked until this HOOF. I sure hope it works for you! I'm now on 2nd manicure (my own) using polish ...wow...what a heady feeling. Thinking of all that $$$ for fake nails for over 20 yrs! sigh. think of the FABRIC I could've bought!
