Started off good but then... [SEP] I've 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 $40+ every 3 weeks and that's 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 me..and definitely not a steel... lol
