It works well!
I've used this product for a few months now, and even within the first few days of use there is a noticeable difference! My nails are much stronger now, and I've gifted this to a few relatives who also love it! I haven't had the insane thickness difference that some of these reviews show, however, I've also just used it once per day while the instructions recommend application 2-3 times per day. I actually stopped using it for a week recently since I had moved the product elsewhere in the house, but when I started using it again, my nails instantly started to feel thicker. I have the coconut scented one, and it smells very good. The cream is also very hydrating- any excess on the nail I rub into my hands, and I haven't had dry hands since I first got the product. I highly recommend trying this strengthener!

It works!!!
I was lamenting how my natural nails, normally hard as a rock, were left brittle and soft after a gel set was removed. This was the first time I had gel tips and it will be my last. They ruined my natural nails. After weeks of filing, clipping, and dealing with brittle nails I decided I needed a supplement. I am on several medications and was against something in pill form because of the chance of the ingredients interacting with my prescription drugs. So I decided on this cream after reading reviews. After the first application I immediately noticed my nails looked like they were nourished. Less dry looking. And after about a week of 3x a day application I no longer had any peeling. My cuticles don't get the snags on them. Today I noticed the ends of my nails, while still a little soft, are growing out stronger. I ordered the coconut fragrance and it reminds me of summer. I think next time I will try the cherry almond. It also comes in unscented. I highly recommend!

Review up for future edits
This review is the first step in a series of reviews. If I dont do it this way, I will forget entirely, and if this stuff works for how bad my nails are, then others need to know.First edit on 2/24/25:I have been a nail biter my whole life, up until a few years ago. In higher anxiety/stress times, I catch myself starting to bite them again. Well, my husband noticed me biting my nails about 6 weeks ago and suggested I get gel nails done. So I made it a mom and daughter date to get our nails done. After 3 weeks, I had to remove them. And let me tell you, I am never getting gel nails again. My nails are flimsy, thin and overall weaker than they have ever been before. I need help with them, so I searched for days before landing on this product. Now, I only really have time to apply once or twice a day, so my progress will be slower than folks who apply 3 or more times. So far, I am happy with the product. I love the smell. I've been applying it at bedtime, so the coconut scent is extra relaxing. But my favorite part, after only a week of use, the skin around my nails is healthier, softer and stronger. So that gives me hope that this stuff will help. I did also get a fancy cuticle oil which I apply once this stuff is soaked in and my nails are dry again. I end up coating basically the entirety of my finger tips, and my calluses from playing guitar are still there, but softer. You do not need much at all, so I see this little bottle lasting a long time.The attached photo are my nails now. The short ones and damaged nails are from my nails breaking, tearing, and chipping since I removed the gel nails. I will attach progress photos when I come back to edit my review. But so far, I am satisfied with this product. Time will tell.To Be Continued....

Great product
Hard As Hoof improved the condition of my nails in a very short time. The peeling and ridges are improved or resolved, the cuticles are healthy with no tears, nails are stronger and growth much improved as well.

It really works!
I usually have issues with my nails breaking, especially if I get a shellac or dip manicure. If I have the shellac removed and don’t replace it, it normally takes months for my nails to recover. I’ve been using this for a couple of months, I put it on at night a few times per week. I recently had a shellac manicure for an event and after having that on for a couple of weeks then having it removed, my nails have been great and have not broken! The manicurist even commented on how strong my nails were. It’s silky smooth and smells great! Definitely recommend and will buy again.

Short story... it works!
Long story... My background, I have autoimmune thyroid disease and I'm in menopause. I've never been a nail biter and haven't had acrylics or gel in almost 20 years. My nails barely grow on their own. Even when they're painfully short, any and every bump to my fingers would cause them to split and peel. I've tried EVERYTHING. All the protein polishes, supplements, creams, etc. I had very little to no hope for this product.I ordered this on March 10th and have been using it twice a day since. I still have about half of it left. It doesn't take much. It took some time (about 3 months) for my old, weak nails to grow out. I just kept them short. After about a week, I could visibly see the healthy new growth and I was excited. My nails now actually grow, are stronger, and look healthy. If I bump a nail on something, I might get a little knick that can easily be filed away. But no more splitting and peeling. I can't believe I'm actually writing a review for a nail product that does what it promises.I know a lot of people mention the scent. It's lovely. Not that I care. It could smell like a fart. I would just keep my hands away from my face until it wears off. This stuff is amazing and I will throw the most epic tantrum of they ever stop making this or change the formula.The end.
