OPI Repair Mode Bond Building Nail Serum

I got extra's for holiday gifts, After I tried it and my thin, week nails changed. I have heard from the recipients and they are as impressed as I was.

A co-worker of mine purchased this for me after I was complaining about my nails constantly breaking or chipping now that I've grown them out. I can't even remember the last time I didn't have at least one broken/chipped nail! I wanted this to work but after my own experience and research, I've decided to stop using it to prevent any damage. I have used keratin treatments before on my nails (my favorite being CND's Rescue RX) and while most of them all feel pretty similar, I noticed OPI's had a much different feel to it. Usually after applying a keratin nail treatment and has been fully absorbed, my nails feel sturdier, yet smoother and hydrated. When using OPI's, it felt like it wasn't doing anything other than drying my nails out— sometimes I'd even feel a slight burn. I was using it as directed, twice a day on bare nails. I even had to look the product up because I thought maybe it was actually a dehydrator or something. When I did this, I started seeing handfuls and handfuls of reviews over various different websites and platforms claiming the product had destroyed their nails, with some even saying they experienced severe lifting and/or detachment from their nail beds. 8 out of 10 of those reviews all mentioned having pain that felt as if their nails had been smashed. For me, it's not worth the risk. If you want a keratin treatment, I would go with CND's. It's actually a little cheaper too.

I had done some damage to my nails by doing gels and this stuff has made my nails thicker and stronger. I also had a nail that I had smashed in my car door a year ago, I have been applying this to that nail a few times a day and the nail is finally starting to grow back in normal. Prior, after I smashed it, the nail was very thin and splitting down the middle. I had added an acrylic nail and gels to protect it, but I think that actually made the nail worse. This stuff will now be part of the beauty regime.

I have very weak nails. They split, tear, and bend very easily. Some would split down the middle which wasnt fun. I have to keep them pretty short usually. This serum completely changed them. I could feel it after the first application but i continued using for about a week. My nails are much stronger now, rarely split, and I'm finally able to grow them out. Awesome stuff! My only issue is that if you paint your nails, dont use this as a base layer. It made all of my polish just peel off.

I woke up at 3am in horrible pain. It felt like my toe was caught in a slamming door, it was constant and throbbing. I could not imagine what was wrong until I thought about using this product for the last 6 days. I doused it with nail polish remover, then washed it with soap and water, held it under running water for a couple minutes, then I slathered it in antibiotic cream and wrapped it in bandaids, put on a soft sock, and took Advil. Eventually, the terrible pain went away, but it's still very sore to touch and my nail seems loose, and looks like an open sore. I think I will lose the nail. I've never reviewed anything before. If I lose my nail, I will follow up on this post.
