I was never tempted to buy Tips, but I wanted that hoof-shaped file every time it was on! Has anyone used the file, and is it available anywhere else?

I've used TIPS off and on since they were on HSN. I started when I quit using acrylics. It sure improved my nails fast and my cuticles look great when I use it steady. My nails were so strong and grew so fast it was unbelievable but you have to use it steady. They always had a tendency to peel but no more. I had developed a nail issue when getting manicures and the doctor said the one fingernail would never grow right but after using TIPS it's perfectly normal.

And Soybean oil isn't the only ingredient. The secret formula is not given out. If it was formulated and worked to strengthen horse's hooves then it must be good.

TIPS is an excellent product. The only reason I switched to Strong Nail (after an Ovarian Cancer deal a couple years ago) was because it is about half price. I don't use any of the extra polishes or clear coats because my nails are allergic to absolutely everything except the oils.

OP, what makes you think the phone call was a fake?

The file is nothing special either. I have 2, if I could send you 1, I would,lol. TIPS is too expensive & little results. In fact, I seem to break more nails when using it. I take biotin daily, as well as use"Rejuvacote" by Duri & "Nail Nutrition" by Sally Hansen.

I used it years ago for quite a longtime. My nails did grow but they always broke. In fairness I have an autoimmune and have nail trouble because of it. As far as I know it is the same owner the woman who presented it.

I love tips and have been on auto-delivery for years. Its great for my cuticles and keeps my nails from getting ridges. You have to apply it daily for it to work. My nails are strong and flexible, too.

Love, love, love TIPS, I've been on autodelivery for years.

Maybe it depends on what is wrong with your nails...mine are brittle and dry, I used acrylics for a long time. I can't say TIPS has made them thicker and stronger, but they are definitely more flexible and don't break off like they normally do.

I keep a bottle in my car and apply it every morning before I leave my driveway for work...it is important to be consistent.

I have used TIPS for years. It's the only product I've ever used that actually helped my nails. For years they split and peeled constantly, but now they are very strong and have to be filed down often. In the beginning I used it twice a day, but now I use it only 2 or 3 times a week. I highly recommend it!
