Miraculous product for flaking, peeling nails

I have really struggled with my nails flaking and peeling in recent months. Have tried oils, leaving them bare, changing nail varnish removers, hardening varnishes, you name it.

Anyway a thread on here recently (which I can't now find!) was posted about the exact same issue and several posters recommended OPI Repair Mode bond building serum. You apply it to bare nails twice a day for a week. I baulked a bit at the price but bit the bullet.

I am SHOOK by how effective it is. I am on day 4 and my nails are transformed. Even though the flaky bits are still there, they are sort of stuck together if that makes sense? And the condition of my nails has improved ten fold. It's genuinely miraculous!

So I wanted to share in case anyone else is struggling with this. This OPI thing is a game changer! And I am absolutely promise I am not on commission or in any way associated with it - just genuinely blown away but how well, and how quickly, it has worked.

Thank you, this is exactly the thing I need! My nails have always been fine but seemed to have a reaction to my last gel coming off and they are awful now. Splitting, separating etc. I’ve kept them bare for holidays hoping the VIT C would kick in but no idea what’s going on so far

Thank you for sharing this! My nails are absolutely awful after I had some acrylics and the condition of my natural nails is now dreadful. I'm going to take a look at the OPI stuff.

Honestly I wish I had taken before and after photos. I’m genuinely gobsmacked 😆

Good to hear. I’ve recommended it on MN a few times. It’s clever stuff whatever is in it.

A Biotin supplement is much better. I found the opi good but no comparison to the supplement.

My nails initially seemed to improve after using OPI nail repair but then began to lift from the nail bed at the tips! I have seen other reviews report this so feel I have to caution. I would never use it again. My nails were really sore and only beginning to settle down again after a few months.

Ah ok Sunmerbean that’s helpful. My nails are splitting so sounds like this won’t be good for them.

I found using nail oil sorted my awful splitting, peeling nails out.
Obas oil or any light oil is best, followed by a good hand repair cream well massaged into the nail bed and surrounding skin.
