Hey ladies,

So I just soaked my acrylics off and my nails are so tender and soft. They were really sore in the shower too. What can I use to make them stronger? Drugstore products please.

I'll try that. Like a whole clove?

Anytime your nails are wet, they soften temporarily...especially if you soak them. Hard as Hoof nail strengthening cream is available at Walmart for about $5.

It's not a drugstore product but it really is worth checking out. I work in the food industry and my nails have taken a beating. I also used to do my own acrylics, which really ruined them. Thin like paper and they split and break very easily.
A friend recommended OPI Nail Envy to me and it seriously has changed my life. I finally have beautiful natural nails! It's $9 online like Amazon/eBay, but I bought mine for $17 at Ulta because I didn't want to wait for it in the mail.
My nails are super strong and growing faster because of this product and I've only been using it for maybe 2 months. I don't even use it as frequently as the directions to say too (out of pure laziness and lack of time) so I can only imagine how my nails would be if I used it exactly as directed.
