Good Points

It works!


Bad Points

None, though I do have to buy a new one while there's still a lot left in the previous bottle due to it becoming very sticky and coagulating after about a month or so.


General Comments

I have always had appalling nails and have never been able to grow them. I had nail extensions for a period of about 3 years but stopped around 4 years ago as the upkeep and expense was becoming a real pain.

Apart from my nails themselves looking horrendous, I also had a habit of decimating all the skin around my nails ... so this was another reason for my trying to rectify the situation. It was becoming really painful and I often had to wear plasters in an attempt to break the habit.

I never really bit my nails, so the bitter alloys type treatments were never really an option. I would just pick and pick, and resort to using tweezers to pull at bits of skin if what was left of my nails couldn't manage the job.

I started using Sally Hansen Miracle Cure in March 2008 and within 2 months my nails were starting to look good and I had broken the cycle.

I use it religiously at least once a week as follows:

Clean off old polish from nails.
Do a bit of filing etc.
Apply MC as basecoat.
Paint the tips of my nails white for a french manicure effect (or apply whatever colour I feel like) .
Apply MC as a top coat.

This usually stays intact for at least a week. Occasionally I'll have to do a bit of a hite tip fix for cracks or chips and then paint over the fix with a bit more MC.

Honestly, my nails are now pretty strong. Strong enough to stand up to gardening, DIY etc.

Apart from this actually being a really good product, I think the key is to developing a weekly maintenance routine that means your nails are looking good and you don't want to spoil the effect by, in my case, hacking at the skin around them or, for others, chewing on them.

Loads of people now comment on them. Often they think that they are extensions and ask where I had them done !

The girl who used to do my extensions tried to help me to grow them underneath but the diagnosis was that I was just never going to have naturally beautiful nails.

Happily, I can now say that at the age of 44, I have proved her wrong.
