Friday Favorites | Stronger Nails with the Julep Oxygen Nail Treatment


I've never naturally had nice nails. Grossly enough when I was younger I was a nail biter and an anxious nail picker. Neither of those things really did me any favors. When I finally decided to try to kick the habit I realized that the best way was to keep my nails painted so I couldn't see the nail growth. For whatever reason when I saw them growing out I wanted to mess with them. This tactic really worked for me but, at a certain point when my nails grow out they become brittle and begin to peel. I've tried several different nail strengtheners none that really seemed to make much of a difference. 



Then about a month ago the Julep Oxygen Nail Treatment came into my life and things have never been better. I decided to start from scratch, filing my nails down short, and applying two coats of the nail treatment. I repeat this once a week or so and ever since my nails have been looking and feeling healthier. My nails aren't constantly chipping and they feel stronger and thicker. I have the ivory colored nail treatment so there is a tinge of sheer color to it but, sometimes I just layer another polish on top of it if I'm looking for a little extra pop and it still works just fine. The consistency isn't super thick so it dries quickly and as a bonus it's vegan and cruelty free. 

Personally, this is a wonder product for me but, I have heard from other friends and colleagues that this product did the exact opposite for them. They said that after they used it that it actually made their nails peel more. I'm not saying this to discredit the product because obviously it's one of my favorite things right now. I just thought I would mention that it's one of those products that really works or it really doesn't but, I think it's worth giving it a shot.
