Trind Nail Repair Natural 9ml

Before buying this I had acrylic nails, as my own nails were (and always had been since a child), flaky, peeling, splitting, papery, well overall in a terrible state (hence the acrylics!). A friend of mine, who also wore acrylics for about 10 years, bought this product after she decided she couldn't afford the acrylics any more.... so it was on her recommendation that I bought it. She promised to pay for a new set of acrylics for me if I was not happy within 2 weeks! Wow! It works! I have my own strong nails that are as hard as rock! I can even open a can of pop with them! Yes, I really can! I would have NEVER considered doing that before, the nail would have just bent backwards and split off! Even with acrylics I would never have tried opening a can! I have to file my nails weekly now because they are just so strong! It does make the nail bed very sore tho, so be warned - your nails and ends to be very sensitive the day and day after you apply BUT, in saying that, for me, the sensitivity is well worth putting up with for a few weeks to have nails that do not flake, split and are actually my own!!

I would like to address my comments to the women who have been trying to find a cure ( a right treatment) for their soft, crushed and layered nails for so long. I was one of them : taking special vitamins for my hair, nails and skin, eating healthy food and lots of water etc. Nothing helped. Not a tiny progress to a hard good looking nails. One day my friend advised me to use Trind Nail Repair . I followed two weeks treatment being thorough putting new layer and removing it next day. Than I just use this nail vanish as a base coat when I am painting my nails with any other colour. The result came so fast and unexpected- it worked! I don't remember my nails being so smooth, hard, not a a tiny crack at the end, I can grow my nails now after so many years of battle. Thank you so so much for an amazing product. I would sincerely advise it to all women.

**Short Version: I like this stuff, I applied it daily for 2 weeks and my bendy, flaky nails do seem in better condition. It's not a miracle cure but I intend to keep using it and have bought a second bottle.** __Background__ My nails (and skin and cuticles) are horribly dry. They flake and de-laminate and grow thin and flimsy. Like everyone else, I've tried tons of products and remain sceptical that anything can really help build up and repair the dead, already grown and damaged nail plate. On the other hand, I really hate having gross nails and I'm pathetically optimistic. I find most hardeners are able to make the nails harder, but this also makes them brittle which isn't very useful! I slather moisturiser on my cuticles when I can but obviously not enough because they dry up and peel away from the nail. At work, I use my nails as tools, I can't wear nail varnish or hand cream and I frequently have to wash my hands - it's basically nail hell. So...when I find myself with a month off and an urge to grow my nails long and natural I jump on the chance to try Trind Nail Repair and really give my my nails some serious attention. __First Impressions__ This stuff is expensive, 9ml is not a lot of product for over £12. Goes on nicely, looks white in the bottle but dries practically clear. Not the fastest drying product, but not the slowest, either. Looks pleasant enough on, I feel like it might even have had a slight brightening effect. __What I Did__ Following the instructions, I applied a fresh coat of TNR every day for two weeks. I was a bit worried that all that contact with polish remover would be counter-productive and dry my nails even more but it seems the Trind is holding its own. I also used a lot of non-greasy hand cream, between taking off one coat of TNR, and adding the next, taking time to massage it in and let it absorb before I added the next coat of TNR. As with any polish I was careful to not get it on my cuticles and to seal the tips well. I use handcream on my cuticles throughout the day and gave my nails the occasional gentle filing to keep them in shape. __Week One__ My nails appeared brighter and possibly healthier. The flaky ends were not noticeably repaired but they weren't worse. While my nails don't feel harder or thicker they remain flexible and considering they have half a centimetre of free edge past the nail bed, I don't feel they're brittle and likely to snap like they would if I'd been loading them up with, say, calcium hardener every day for a week. __Week Two__ I broke two nails in one day! Nothing major, and they snapped cleanly along straight lines. But now I'm worried the Trind is making my nails brittle. this week the Trind Nail Balsam I'd ordered turned up, so hopefully if it's more moisture my nails need, this will help. (I'll review it separately). On the whole, they're better than they were before I started this two-week daily regime. Of course I can't tell how much of that is the TNR and how much is me being more attentive to my nails and keeping them more moisturised. They're still flimsier than I'd like but my cuticles and eponychium are in better condition and hopefully as my nails grow out the TNR treated nail will be stronger and more resilient. I wanted to keep my nails filed square but in the end I had to go for a squoval shape and lose the corners because they were peeling and breaking. So, they're not as strong as I'd hoped but still pretty good. _UPDATE_ I had to stop using the TNR because it made my nails pull away from the nail bed and get sore. I can only guess my nails have reached peak hardness although, I had the bad reaction after I'd lightly buffed my nails, so perhaps it was just because they were slightly thinner than usual. Anyway, my nails are still long and strong and I've switched to the Trind Keratin Nail Balsam and Keratin nail Repair for the time being. They seem to be a bit more gentle and I do think my nails still need a bit of help.

I have been using Trind nail products for the last few years ever since a friend introduced me to it. I too had had acrylic nails for about 2 years and my natural nails were destroyed after the acrylics were removed- brittle, wouldn't grow, etc. I bought the starter set at the time which included cuticle balsam, nail balsam and nail repair. You have to use all 3 products daily for the first 2 weeks - removing the nail repair and then reapplying. The balsams soak into your nails so it really isn't a chore. Then after the first 2 weeks, you can leave the nail repair on. I tend to do a manicure about once a fortnight where I soak my nails, do my cuticles, file, buff, etc. If I'm being totally honest, I don't always use Trind cuticle balsam any more as I prefer to use cuticle oil instead but the nail balsam definitely keeps my nails hydrated and stops them from splitting and the nail repair ensures that my nails are strong and look good too. If you like wearing colour on your nails, the nail repair can be bought in different colours too. Hope you find this useful.

I bought this to try & strengthen one nail that has been splitting for 2 years. I applied this as per the instructions. Unfortunately once applied my nail started throbbing like I had trapped it in a door & I had to remove the treatment. I tried two more times on different occasions but the same thing happened.

This review is a little unusual as I bought this product to try out on car a scratch, not great but that's not what it is meant to do

Bon produit

Update: this is a different product now. Nail Repair Natural in the packaging with the black top is the mild version without formaldehyde. If you want the one that used to be called Nail Repair Natural in the packaging with the clear top, that's now called Nail Repair Original. My experience is that the "new" "natural" one is less effective at strengthening, and much more likely to chip off and allow my nails to split. I ordered the original version from the company's website. I left a 5-Star review for the 3-piece Trind kit a couple years ago. I had plenty of the nail and cuticle balsam left but needed more of the Nail Repair Natural and I'm about a third of the way into that bottle, just spot treating now. I've never had professional manicures or gels or acrylics. What happened with me is around the time I turned 30 my nails went from being very strong and flexible to weak and brittle. They would split and peel. My thumbnails would constantly split about halfway down the edge. And my nail tips (I keep them short because I prefer them that way) were constantly splitting and peeling. I tried various polish type strengtheners and when those didn't work, spent a lot of time and money on products to basically glue them back together. Fiberglass and silk wraps, glue, epoxy with activator. It wasn't satisfactory. I tried supplements, asked doctors, was very frustrated. I took a leap with the Trind set. It was $40 which is a lot to me. But I was unable to use my fingernails for anything and had pain associated with deep splits. And Trind was more effective than anything else I tried, other than jojoba oil. It got my nails held together enough that I could then remove the polish for a while and start soaking my nails with jojoba oil, which has been a miracle worker. Now that I'm regularly applying jojoba oil to my nails and cuticles, my problem is 90% better. I use the nail repair to protect the areas around the sidewall of my thumbnails because those still split at times. During the winter I'll coat my nail tips as well. And the nail repair holds better, longer, stronger than other things I've tried. I never experienced any pain and I'm a sensitive, reaction-prone redhead with, let's just say, not a stoic disposition. I wonder if this product is less appropriate for individuals with truly thin nails. I really feel for those who have had horrible experiences with this product. However, I recommend it enthusiastically to those without very thin nails, and with reservation (proceed with caution) to those of you who might have more damage. And please spot-test, everyone, thoroughly. Good luck!

Ich habe immer wieder Probleme mit brüchigen und dünnen Nägeln. Bis mir eine Freundin Trind empfohlen hat. Es hilft nicht nur gegen oben genannte Probleme, sondern verleiht noch einen schönen und gepflegten Look. Darüber hinaus nehme ich Trind inzwischen auch als Unterlack, so weiß ich, dass meine Nägel optimal gepflegt werden. Mit normalem Unterlack werden meine Nägel immer trocken, stumpf und brechen ab. Trind ist einfach super!

Soin incroyable pour les ongles. Depuis que j'utilise ce produit mes ongles sont hyper longs et en super santé

Trind nail products are very good and helpful for nails. I will reorder.
