started off good but then [SEP] i have always had problems growing nails they grow with splits in the center or will easy start to splinter on the sides i got tired of going to the salon and having the acrylic applied to my nails just to have nice looking nails gets expensive at about every weeks and that is pushing it on the growth so i decided to find something to help with the cracking etc this looked like the best of the several that i purchased but they ended up very brittle and just snapped and cracked on the dumbest stuff after applying this i was taking a wrapped off of a medication for my dog and my thumb nail which is honestly my strongest nail it just snapped not worth it to meand definitely not a steel lol
