I have short, natural nails. Has anyone had a problem using this product on natural nails? Or is it just for long false nails?

I've used it on my natural nails and I have no problems. It stays in place and looks pretty.

I dont think it matters. You stick them on the nail polish anyways and I havnt had an issue on my natural nails

I have natural nails. I use them a lot. You just have to apply them while your polish is still wet and after it drys add a good top coat.

I have the rejuvacote and I grew very long,strong nails. Before using this, I could not grow my nails as they would break and split.

I apply it as often as I like, but it lasts for weeks so there is no need to apply often! Every once in a while you might want to give your nails a break and use a nail strengthener.

Yup! I've been using for almost 6 months and I just noticed that my nails are peeling again and I have to apply it (whole nail for me) twice a week. But I haven't noticed them getting any less "hard" or strong.

If, I stop using it yes. Its a deficiency for me. I've had this problem my whole life. Weak nails is gut issue its not... your nails are just weak.

I am a nail technician who specializes in artificial nails and have been using this product for about 10 years. 2 min is the recommended cure time for this product. First off I have a couple of questions regarding use for troubleshooting purposes. What type of nail are you applying to? This product is for artificial nails (ie. acrylics and permanent uv gel nails) only as a acetone proof finish coating and not for use as a coating for natural nails or for use for gel manicure products. There are other products out there that are for natural nail use that are better for sealing nail polish and are made to be compatible with traditional nail polish that stay for almost 3 weeks! What type of uv lamp and bulb wattage are you using? And more important how old are the bulbs. Best uv bulb wattage is the 4- 9 watt uv lamps. Also note this isn't a product that is compatable with " at home uv lamps or LED lamps. Hope to help you. Sounds from your post you are applying to something that the product isn't made for. Cracking comes from improper use and normally comes from placing it on top of nail polish and or as a nail strengthener which it isn't made for and doesn't have the flexibility that natural nails have. Other products on the market for application as a nail polish sealer have a little more flexibility and won't crack.

According to ad, product only works on the skin. But I think if you use daily it will work on the nails too, but you should have patience. If you stop using it, the problem arises again.

It's what I'm using it on and I had some serious fungus on my left big toe and a lot of malformation of the other nails on that foot. Was trying other over counter remedies but it would knock it back for a while and it always came back. My doctor wanted to put me on a pill that would have distressed my liver and since I was already taking something for high cholesterol, I wanted something topical. Started the first of January, have no more fungus on any of the nails of my left foot. The stuff's great. EM

Honestly, since I purchased this one, I have decided to go back to using cutex brand it works just fine. My nails are not being damaged either. I just use a piece of cotton ball with some polish remover and wrap my nails I alumminum foil for approximately 10 mins or so for gel polish. I hope this helps.

I purchased 'MASH' brand nail glue. This glue works super good!!! Just make sure you use just a little, cause a little goes a long way. Also my nail was breaking, I didn't want to lose my nail, so I decided to place just a dab of 'mash' glue, and it WORKED! I didn't want to have that odd short nail while the other nine where long a pretty :) Hope this works for you.... goodluck

There is a youtube video by thepolishedmommy, about using Gelish Hard Gel and dual forms to extend nail length, in other words, to make your own gel nails. I tried it but found that the nails are not as strong as acrylic or gel, so I stopped doing it. Now I just brush the hard gel over my own long nails and cure under an LED lamp. It makes my nails very hard to break! Good luck!

I believe this product would be okay for teen's. Any younger I would have to say no. I use this product on my nails once a week. And it works great. I have always had a problem with breaking and cracking nails. But not since I have started to use nail armor. Great product!!

It is more like a thick foundation for gel nails. It gets hard, but not as durable or thick as acrylic. Good for split nail repair or reenforcement for natural nails but weak with tips unless you use acrylic powder in addition.

Yes and no! I tried it on a nail form before and i extended like a stiletto it looked good,but it was not durable or stong,it bended and then it cracked so disappointed, so then i tried foarmin a medium like not to short and not to long, and i was happy it was strong and durable so yes, my way alone.lol. u can use it with a nail form,but not to long.ok. and cure it .i do 3 coats to really. Hold up well, so experience in one nail,if u like it,then do them all,just have fun and lots of patients.thats it.

For best results you can apply under nail and or push cuticle back and apply so that new nail can be treated as it comes out. Hope this helps. By the way i tried lots of products, pills and home remedies out there and had poor results. This product is superior, works outstanding. Just sure you apply daily until new nail comes out.....
