Vitry Nail Repair Care Hardener

I am so glad I found this product! My natural nails are awful. They have lots (I mean LOTS) of vertical ridges, yet the nails are very thin. When I was young, my mom told me "just smooth the ridges out gently with a file." Um, huge mistake! those ridges weren't thick lines, but rather vertical bends in my nail.I When my young self tried to buff down the ridges like suggested, what happened was I quickly exposed my tissue under the very first nail and left a crack along one of the ridges. This vertical crack grew worse over time and it would catch on everything.It never went away - decades later. No amount of nail polish would hide the amount of ridges I have on my nails. I started getting my nails done. Acrylic for a few years then a break for a few years, then maybe the past 3 years or so I was getting gel nails done by a very gentle manicurist. The gel not only made my nails look nice, but it helped cover that crack from catching on everything,,,until I got a vertical crack on the other hand (the finger of my wedding rings -nooooo!) I decided to take a break from gel nails and was covering the cracks with a piece of tea bag and superglue. Was this my life? I found Vitry on Amazon and read the reviews and decided to give it a try. 1.It is thick stuff, so a couple coats of this DID indeed hide my awful ridges, (I do not have a medical problem, I just inherited the ridged from my sweet,sweet Dad.) 2. It kept my cracks covered so they didn't catch on anything. 3. After the second bottle I happened to notice...Could it be??? My cracks are gone?!!! I am nervous they could show up again, but for now they are gone! Yay! 4. All 10 of my nails feel harder and thicker than I ever remember them being, and they are long! I have NEVER been able to grow nails like this. All ten nails are long. All ten need repeated filing down. Even when I take this product off, the nails feel thicker than my natural nail ever has. The only con is that when I first put it on my nails feel a little hot, and maybe even a tad sore which can't be a good thing, right? That feeling quickly fades but I wonder why it happens in the first place. Anyway, this has, by far, been the best product I've ever used for my crappy nails. AND it does not chip or peel like polish. It won't come off until I take it off. No soaking like gels. Just WIPE OFF with remover on a cotton pad. Good luck. Hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

Although this product contains a whole lot of formaldehyde (2%), it works like no other nail hardener that I have EVER tried in my entire life!!! My nails have always grown without a problem, but within the past several months I've become anemic and low on blood levels of folic acid and B12. A friend showed me her nails, which I would've bet my paycheck on that they were acrylic or gel nails, but they weren't. She had been using Vitry Nail Repair Treatment for a month and the results were amazing!! I ordered myself a bottle and immediately began using it twice a week. My nails grew in longer and stronger than they ever had. I'd include a photo, but I recently cut my nails short. I ran out of my bottle of Vitry and its been sold out for over 6 weeks 😫 Another thing, when I have this on as a base coat, my nail polish lasts for at least 10 days without chipping. I suggest always making sure that it doesn't come in contact with the skin around your nail or the cuticle by applying a good oil.

Very effective

Best hardner I have ever used. My nails used to break and chip very easily sometimes just for touching something. I haven't had my nail this long and strong for a very long time. It applies easily and it keeps its shine for a very long time. double application every 3 to 4 weeks it is all I need. A bit expensive but definitely worth it.

Since I have been using this, my chipped nails are doing better

Great product. I always wear Gel Polish and my nails became very week. I was looking a nail treatment for a long time. For some reason Sally Hansen trearment does not do anything for my nails. I also like IBX nail treatment, but it requires professional application anf it’s not very easy to find where I live. Vitry is the best Nail Treatment I’ve found so far, which I could use instead of IBX. What I also do if I want to have a little bit of color on my nails, I put Sally Hansen nail treatment on top of Vitry (like in the picture).

I first bought this in a Paris drug store 5 years ago. I liked it, as it helped my nails, and used it ever since. But the only place I could buy it in the states was via Amazon. I noticed when I used a magic marker, the fumes made my nails turn dark. Huh? Then I looked at the ingredients. All I'm going to say is this: it contains formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. I had bladder cancer 2 years ago and formaldehyde is a known cause. I've never smoked in my life. (Full disclosure: I also had a couple of Brazilian Blow-Outs to straighten my hair and acrylic nails for years and they all contain formaldehyde). Draw your own conclusions.

Nothing on the market works better than this particular formula. The nails went from weak, soft, and peeled in layers to strong, healthy nails that I am proud of. It might be a little costly but is well worth it and goes a long way. As long as it is produced, I will buy nothing else. Great for a foundation and put your color on top.

Unfortunately, I didn't check the ingredients. It contains formaldehyde! My mistake. I had already opened the bottle and used it so we will see how it goes. Had I have known this I would have reconsidered my purchase.

Ma conjointe aime ce produit

Tardo en llegar un poco. Me sirvió un tiempo, no lo he vuelto a comprar

Je suis bluffé. Moi qui suis en manque de fer j'ai les ongles hyper striés qui se dédoublent et cassants et mou. Le vernis lisse bien l'ongle avec plusieurs couches fines 2 ou 3. Les ongles sont réparés instantanément et bien durs. Et les ongles sont bien brillants. Bonne tenue

I’d given up hope of ever getting my nails strong again. They’d been weak for a long time after having acrylics on them, then even after a few years they start layering so the nail was even weaker. I didn’t actually think this would cure them, but after 1 mth of using it my nails are so strong. Even after re-painting them every 2 days there is still over 3 quarters of the bottle left. I’m very happy and 100% recommend this product to anyone with weak nails.
