Trial: Dr Lewinn - Revitanail nail strengthener

My nails are such a wreck, they used to be strong and healthy. Now I can't grow them past 3-4mm without them splitting or chipping. I think it was because of my job previously where I came into contact with Deep Heat at least two times a week. Deep heat apparently contains turpentine oils, which is basically a paint thinner, it doesn't do your nails or you manicures any good. My painted nails looked disgusting after I used Deep Heat, after using Deep Heat my nails looked as if I did a very sorry attempt at removing the nail polish with remover.

I told my friend about my situation and she recommended Dr Lewinn - Revitanail nail strengthener. I brought it in a gift pack form Chemist Warehouse for $19.99. The pack comes with a Revitanail - Hand & Nail Cream 100g and Revitanail - Nail strengthener 30ml. The Revitanail strengthener usually RRP for $29.95.

Revitanail Nail Strengthener 30ml

Its my first time using a nail strengthener so I've got nothing to compare it to so here goes.

Instructions:Apply 2 coats of Revitanail Nail Strengthener onto clean nails avoiding the cuticle area and then one coat daily for the next 5 days. On the 7th day remove with nail polish remover. Repeat the process 3 times. (Each program lasts for 25 days.)

- Allow your nails to rest for 1-2 weeks between programs.

- Massage Revitanail Nourishing oil into the cuticles  after each application of Nail   Strengthener has dried.

Nourishing oil is also recommended to be used during the 1-2 week rest period.

So today is my first day on this nail strengthener. I cleaned my nails with nail polish remover so their now clean. I applied two coats of Revitanail. It dries pretty fast, within 5 mins to a very clear and glossy finish.

The smell is pretty strong, but I guess thats from the Formaldehyde

I don't have the cuticle oil from this range so I used Seacret: Cuticle oil, which should do the same job as the Revitanail one.

With Revitanail 

You can kinda see thinning at the tip of my nails,
that's where they are chipped (with revitanail)
