Now, I’ve used Rejuvacote to help treat them before, but it’s just not that easy for me to pick it up around here on a regular basis. So, I was excited to see that Sally Hansen has got some vitamin based products to help me, that can be picked up at any mass market store locally.

The two products I’ve been trying are the VitaSurge Strength Gel (*which is for weak nails that split and peel) and the VitaSurge Growth Gel (*which is for brittle nails that break and crack). I am trying them both, because they both have Vitamins C & E, with the Growth Gel also having Vitamin A, so I wanted to see if there was any significant difference. Both are a fresh, and lightly, scented suspension gel, with vitamin beads, that you massage in to bare nails or over dry polish as often as you want. I’ve been doing it at night before I go to sleep, generously applying it to my cuticles and directly on the front edge of my fingernails, too. It doesn’t dry sticky on me, so I don’t worry about sticking to, or getting it on, my sheets or pillowcase.

After the first 10 days, I do not have any splitting, which is pretty unusual for me nowadays. I also can’t tell the difference between either nail. So, I’d say that you would be fine with either one, but I’d probably go with the Growth Gel, if only to get the added Vitamin A boost, too.

What about you guys? Do you have peeling nails? What do you do to stop that nonsense?

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.
