restoration? Both have about the same reviews.

Ladies, which do you prefer and why?

TIA

I have no real issue with my nails and never do polish. However I do use oil at least once a day. It makes a difference. TIPS is basically overpriced soybean oil and I would not go near it. Check other oils.

I have loved TIPS for years. They used to make nail polish. I never tried perfect formula. I think TIPS is easier because it's oil. I think it works great!

OT, But TRIND nail balsam.

I take a nasty medication known for devastating nails and hair, magic for me.

@tends2dogs I tried perfect formula as well as other oils but I found TIPS to be the best for real nail change as well as cuticals that don't have the need to be trimmed to look good.

T.I.P.S. Girl all the way. Been using for years. Love it. Took about 2 months to really see a difference, but I started during winter. Is it a guarantee your nails will never break? Of course not. Accidents happen. Most of the time though I have to cut my nails, they get too long. As an aside, Perfect Formula contains formaldehyde, not good.

Nothing really helps me but warmer weather and staying out of water. Years ago I checked and Tips main ingredient was soybean oil and found it at Family Dollar.

I use the Beekman products and those help somewhat.

Neither. I use nailtique from the drug store very succesfully.

Perfect Formula contains formaldehyde, that is a no no on nails. I use Duri Rejuvacote Forumla 2 or Sally Hansen Miracle Growth treatment.

I use both and they work for me. I use the T.I.P.S. when my cuticule skin needs extra attention and the skin around the nail is dry,peeling or callused from too much work.

Perfect Formula I use all the time. It's my nail protector, base coat, color and top coat. I find that it seals moisture into my nail especially when I get into the heavy gardening, cleaning mode. I wear rubber gloves but my nails seem better with this system.

I also use A.S.K. polish remover. This is key. It's a conditioning polish remover tht is non drying and no stripping. A little goes a long way which is also a good thing.

I use Pro Strong nail enamel when I want a color shade on my nails. It doesn't dry out my nail and lasts and lasts. Pro Strong makes a complete line of nail products that include a similiar product to T.I.P.S. and another nail strengthener that you can apply over any other nail product. I've used them all and have been pleased. They have kits which is a good way to try to decide.

I take medication that reallys drys out my skin and weakens my nails so that is how I created the combination that works for me. IMO all these brands are good. It depends on what your specific needs are and your budget. Hope you have the same good results that I do.

I have found I'm allergic to any nail polish, Perfect Formula included. Maybe its the formaldehyde, but my nails will just dry out and crack at the edges. So I stick to TIPS. I will be checking out Family Dollar for the soybean oil, though. TIPS is really expensive.

I've used Nail Magic for the past 15 years. I buy it at Sally's for less than $10 and it lasts around 3 months. It gives your nails a slight sheen and a very slight shade of pink. I could never grow my nails due to peeling once the nail was beyond the nail bed. Now using Nail Magic I have to file my nails down! My nails are strong, but not brittle where they break if bumped, and they're healthy looking. You do have to go thru the grow out phase at first but then the new growth is strong. This stuff really is MAGIC!!

Check the ingredients before you buy anything. Formaldehyde has no business in nail products.

Please look at the ingredients, make sure they include things that are moisturizing that you recognize, biotin, keratin, things like that. Be careful of those that include formaldehyde, toluene, look for “3 free” or better.

Everyone's body chemistry is different, so some products may work for some but not for others. My experience is that neither Perfect Formula or TIPS worked for me. In fact, the TIPS oil turned my nails brown and it took months to grow them back out to "normal."

ughhh havent had my nails looking good since march. yes i have acrylics, had them for 20 yrs. my real nails are ruined. since i cant get them done i dont even bother with them. 1st week or so i went out and got hard as nails. well that did nothing lol... so i gave up, amd im waiting for the nail salon to open again which should be in the next 2 weeks or so. my nails are so short and horrible looking. yes acrylics ruined them. but i will always have acrylics. the past few months have actually been good for my nails. they actually are able to breath.. lol.. since i had acrylics on i never went without them. every 2 weeks i get them done. i do miss it. and i cant wait! it does add up money wise though. but its good to do something for yourself.
