   This product is practically a miracle. I’ve had bitten down, thin problem nails all my life. I’ve tried every product out there. There have been a few that I’ve liked, but nothing comes close to this. My nails were at their shortest – we’re talking half way down my nail bed – when I decided to try this. Within a month, they had reached the end of my fingers. They’re now, a few weeks later, past my finger tip, and I have to file them every few days to keep them at a manageable length. I wouldn’t use this if I already had long nails; it’s not really a strengthener. But when you’re looking for something to help your nails grow while protecting them, this is the ticket. It really, really works.

   My first experience with this product was one of those Murphy’s Law manicures that smudged, one nail after the other, until I gave up and took it off. So the product was on my nails for maybe 20 minutes before I took it off. In that twenty minutes, my weak, peeling nails somehow got stronger and were noticeably firmer and bent less easily. In the few weeks since then, my nails have been stronger. They don’t peel at all anymore and rarely break. Before I would be lucky to get through the day without a break.

   I have been using this product in conjunction with the Barielle Nail Rebuilding Protein, and it definitely seems to be helping. And they even seem to be growing faster. I am pleased with the results and would definitely repurchase.

   Love, love, love! It seems my other nail treatments would work great and then just stop. So I picked this up for the retail price of $16 – I have since found it at TJ Maxx for less than half. I have used it for about three months now and am on my second bottle. It has done wonders for my nails! Before they were peeling and splitting like crazy, at the littlest ding. Since trying this I have to trim my nails at least once per week. No more peeling nails or splitting nails, and the strength is amazing. My nail beds are also getting so much better! My manicures look so much better overall. As long as this keeps working for me I am definitely going to rebuy.

   I cannot say enough good things about this bottle that produces magic! It really does. I thought I would never have nails that would consistently grow past the edge of my fingers and with this as my base coat they grow like weeds. I’ve had people ask me if my nails were fake they grew so long and thick. It is expensive at retail price ($16) but if you keep checking tj maxx they sometimes have it. This is my “can’t live without product”!

   Dear Barielle: Thank you so much for this product! I will start by saying that this stuff is my Holy Grail of nail saviors. Several months ago, my nails were *trashed*. They were sort, awful, splitty, peely, disgusting. I was, at the time, using Qtica Nail Growth Stimulator. I used up nearly a bottle before I realized it was drying the heck out of my nails. They grew fast, but then they’d peel halfway down the nail. It was not a good match for me. As a former nailbiter, I considered going back to biting. Instead, I filed ’em down as low as they’d go and went to Marshall’s for some Barielle treatments. I got this and Natural Nail Camouflage. I decided to try this first and now I’m on my second bottle! I saw growth results within a week and they’ve continued to grow long and strong and…best of all… it cured my peelies!! FINALLY! I have amassed probably 7-8 backups from Marshall’s where this is priced at $3.99. It retails for around $16 I think. So worth it. I will never stray from Barielle.

   I’ve used this off and on for about 3 weeks now. I alternate it with other Barielle treatment basecoats. I have noticed that since I added the Growth Activator to my routine, my nails have grown faster. It’s crazy, I have to file my nails every other day to maintain them at the length that I want. Excellent product, I will continue to use this in my Barielle rotation.

   If you’ve ever use Qtica Nail Growth Stimulator, this is basically the same thing and works just as well. Although pricey at regular retail, I find that TJ Maxx has it much of the time for about $7. I’ve always had rotten nails that are paper thin, split, flake and peel and as a result I could never get any length out of them. This really does make them grow fast. I can put a coat on on Sunday night, top it with one coat of the original translucent pink Sally Hansen Hard as Nails (most nail products make my nails even worse, but this doesn’t), apply another coat on about Wednesday or Thursday night ,and it sees me thru the week. At the end of that week, my nails have grown very noticeably. I had gotten lax and quit using this regime for a while, but started again a week and half ago. I had forgotten just how well it works. I had NO nails when I started – barely any white showing at all. Now less than a week and half later, I already have 1/8″ half moons almost out past the ends of my fingers. And that is with having to file a fair amount of chipping and peeling off (just my nails – both the Barielle and Sally Hansen products held up well). This alone doesn’t make them any stronger, I don’t think, but it sure does make them grow fast!
