Barielle Nail Strengthener Cream ~ Full Review

Around 3 weeks ago, I shared with you all here that I received the Barielle Nail Strengthener Cream to review. I've used the cream daily since then to see how it would perform on my nails. As mentioned before, I was experiencing some peeling, so I had high hopes for this cream.
Just to recap, the cream is supposed to help nails grow healthier and stronger while resisting splits, peels, and breaks. It did just that for me. Here are the comparison pictures.
I had a nice amount of growth over the 3 week period. This cream did wonders for the peeling issues I was having. I tend to get side splits as well and I didn't experience any of those. The major plus for me is that the cream can be applied over nail polish. Its truly an instant moisturizer to my nails and cuticles. I like that the cream comes in a tube so it isn't messy to apply and I can control how much I need. A little goes a long way, and even after 3 weeks of continuous use, I'm no where near finished with the 0.5 oz tube. I only had one issue with my right hand where 2 nails broke, but that was during a bowling outing so it was to be expected. Those nails are already growing back nicely. 

Truthfully, the only downside I can come up with for this cream is that the larger size (1 oz.) is not in a tube as well. When my nails are long, I dislike having to dip creams out of jars because it gets under the nail. I definitely plan to purchase the cream again during my next Barielle purchase. Hopefully that will be when the fall/winter collection is released. I 'm also interested in the cuticle oil because I've never used one before.

Have you tried this cream before?!?
