For a while I had gel nails. I loved looking at ten perfect nails. But the time spent in salons really got to me. And when the gel nails went, my real nails were bumpy and awful. So I patiently waited for my own nails to grow out.
I have a bucket full of nail hardeners. But I googled it and read that it is bad to use nail hardeners, because you have to use polish remover to take it off. And apparently polish remover is extremely hard on nails. The consensus on google seems to be ... use hand cream frequently.
So for the last month I've been using hand cream frequently. And I was thrilled because it really seemed to make a difference. Then my nails started splitting again. Maybe it's just another one of those aging things. Sigh.

I have always had weak, splitting nails. I used to have acryllic nails but gave them up when Mom and I built our home in TV!
Last year, I stopped at the booth that sells nail files at LSL's Vendor Night. She recommended their nail files and Nailtiques. I bought Nailtiques at CVS for around $9. My nails got stronger but they still split.
I started using Perfect Formula about two weeks ago and I can already see a difference in my nails. I'm using the Strong Nail Strengthening Therapy, the pink gel, and the Strong Nail Daily Moisturizer. I got my kit on QVC but I looked and you can get Perfect Formula at PF's website and on Amazon. I think Ulta sells it too. It is a little pricey! Don't put it on too thick or it peels off! I do think the crystal nail files also helped.
