On twitter the other day, my good friend, Meredith from Retrodiva's Beauty Bar, (@retrodiva) was complaining about her thin nails, after removing her acrylics. When I suggested she give Duri's "Rejuvacote" a shot, I remembered that I hadn't ever told you guys about this stuff.

I'll tell you, sometimes I am kinda dumb and don't always follow the directions. Like, I have been known to not continue using something because it's "good enough" or I just get lazy, results be damned. Such is the case with Rejuvacote Nail Growth System. I swear, I don't know what it is (*truly, I don't) but my thumb nails split. As in, I can press another fingernail in between the layers (*of which I surely DON'T do - nuh uh). I can't understand why those particular fingernails split, but none of my other ones do. I was luckily able to have a chance to try some Rejuvacote to help with that. It's recommended to use as your base coat/top coat and every night for a week then start all over again.

Yeah, I haven't usually had the attention span to keep up with that sched, BUT, I can tell you that when I do use it - it stops the splitting. Done. Which is where my dumbness comes in, because that is where I usually go "Okay, cool, problem solved" and then stop. That then allows the nails to split again and there we are back on the merry-go-round.

Don't be me. If you have splitting or thin nails, you should really try Rejuvacote (*which contains keratin and calcium, btw) and stick with their rec's for application. I really think it will make a difference to your nails. I'm not the only one that thinks that, as it has been mentioned in many magazines and even won an Allure "Best of Beauty" award, too. It runs $14 and can be picked up on Duri's website.

Have you guys tried this? And did you keep to their rec'd schedule in using it? I'm curious how your nails fared using it the "proper" way.
