Review: A real miracle product - As a lifelong nail chewer, I have never taken care of my hands and nails. Last year, I decided that it was time to grow them out. For a year, I would grow nails to just a hair past the nail bed and they would bend, peel or tear. Every. Single. Time. Even taking biotin didn't help with the level of hardness of my nails, they just grew faster so they could bend or tear quicker. I took a chance with Mavala Scientifique (after reading directions carefully and watching a couple of Youtube videos about how to apply it) and now, three weeks later, I finally have all ten nails at or past the ends of my fingertips without a single tear or peeling nail in that time. This is the first time in my 56 years that I have beautiful, strong, hard nails. I don't recognize my own hands. A word of caution: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! Do not get this stuff on your skin, cuticles, etc. because it will harden that area almost instantly. Do not overuse the product, either in volume or frequency. If you over apply in volume, the product can soak past your nails and into your nail bed and it will harden (you really don't want this to happen). If you use it more than twice a week, you will make your nails too hard and they have a real potential to shatter or snap right off. I have used this very sparingly twice a week and every time, I can feel the results immediately-- even the first time I applied it. Over these three weeks, my nails are at just about the perfect hardness and once my two damaged nails are done growing out, I will cut back to once a week, then once a month. This product is expensive, but you really need to use almost none of it and it will last for many years if you're using it properly. Most importantly: IT WORKS. If you struggle with soft, weak nails, Mavala Scientifique is an absolute miracle. Review: It Works!! - Very good product. I read all the reviews before purchasing. I decided to order because my nails would chip and break after reaching a certain length. It worked! My nails stopped breaking and grew past the point they normally did. I use it only once every 2 weeks and it does the job. My nails are normally brittle and kind of dry. They are also very thin. So in between using the Mavala, I use almond oil every day (at least once a day, twice would be better!) to keep them supple and flexible. If you keep doing this, your nails will grow and not split or chip. Believe me! Make sure you don't get the Mavala hardener on your skin or cuticle. So, yes, your nail has to have a little growth before you start using Mavala. If you adapt a nail care program like saturating and rubbing your nails and cuticle with oil everyday, your nails will begin to grow. When they get a little length, that's when you start using the Mavala nail hardener. Once every week or every two weeks. And here is where you'll notice the BIG difference. Your nail begin to grow, without chipping or splitting. They will look strong and healthy. And because you've been using almond (or whatever) oil faithfully, they will be flexible and supple; not hard and brittle. Also, use playtex gloves (or synthetic, if you're allergic to latex) when doing the dishes or any other household chores that require your hands to be in water and harsh detergents. If you want long nails, you have to work at it! No shortcuts. ## Features - Hardens nails: The tip of the nail is the most fragile, unprotected part that breaks easily. Mavala Scientifique helps strengthen and harden the tip of the nail to repair damaged nails. For men and women of all ages - Restores weak nails: Say bye to flaking, peeling or splitting nails with Mavala Scientifique. Get longer, harder, beautiful nails that will finally look great with a couple of coats of our Mavala nail polish - Restores moisture: Our fingernail hardener formula hardens the nail plate so the nail can restore its normal growth and get stronger. Helps keep nails moisturized for clean, healthy-looking hands and shiny, soft nails - Super absorbent: Absorbs quickly to penetrate the nail and get to work strengthening your nails. Fortifying care for both fingernails and toenails to get healthy and flexible nails - How to use: Apply to clean, polish-free nails from the center of the nail to the tip. Leave on to penetrate. Use 2 times a week until nails have hardened and then 2-3 times per month once nails have recovered. Protect cuticles and skin around nails with grease or oil before application. Never apply under nail tips, on cuticles, on skin, this is to avoid skin hardening ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001618JY6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #462,857 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #452 in Nail Strengtheners | | Brand | MAVALA | | Brand Name | MAVALA | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,331 Reviews | | Item Weight | 0.32 Grams | | Liquid Volume | 0.16 | | Manufacturer | Mavala | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3304 | | Model Number | 2724320794408 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Size | 0.16 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Repair,Damaged,Growth,Strengthening,Hardener,Healthy | | UPC | 798813366368 887945395855 787461570487 787461803431 885399322038 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MAVALA - **Item Weight:** 0.32 Grams - **Liquid Volume:** 0.16 - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Specialty:** Repair,Damaged,Growth,Strengthening,Hardener,Healthy ## Images ![Mavala Scientifique Original Nail Hardener | Strengthens Nails, Hardens Nail Tips, Stops Breakage | 0.16 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71X7LYYMekL.jpg) ![Mavala Scientifique Original Nail Hardener | Strengthens Nails, Hardens Nail Tips, Stops Breakage | 0.16 oz - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/410Fp2MwoaL.jpg) ![Mavala Scientifique Original Nail Hardener | Strengthens Nails, Hardens Nail Tips, Stops Breakage | 0.16 oz - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51OVovw9kdL.jpg) ![Mavala Scientifique Original Nail Hardener | Strengthens Nails, Hardens Nail Tips, Stops Breakage | 0.16 oz - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5122ljxXQFL.jpg) ![Mavala Scientifique Original Nail Hardener | Strengthens Nails, Hardens Nail Tips, Stops Breakage | 0.16 oz - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51x-rBet8dL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: can you tell me what are the ingredients of this nail product.
