I recall when you told us they were sent to you. Glad you took your time to give them a good try. Treatments don't make their change over night or even in a week - however - Barielle's Total Foot Cream CAN if you have exfoliated you callouses make a different over night!beachgalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821822814880568404.post-34357405354163910762012-04-19T20:35:24.103-04:002012-04-19T20:35:24.103-04:00There are versions of all of these in the Barielle...There are versions of all of these in the Barielle PRO line at Sally's which makes getting them easier for many. They are also cheaper at Sally's. I did not realize that for years. I think I have used the strengthening cream for at least 12 yrs now & buying it in the pot at $17.50 each when it's $10 at Sally's. But often I will toss in the treatment products when Barielle is having one of their sales. They make my all time fav foot cream called Total Foot Cream - I buy it in the largest size tub it comes in. Lasts a long, long time. But that and the Swedish Fot File sold now at Sally's used for exfoliating is my go to heal and side of my big toe messy areas. I often will put a coat of a body oil over the Total Foot Cream once it's started to sink in - like one of the Clarins oils or Jose Maran Aragon Oil - any oil that is thick and going to hang around. I have a Dr. Denese body oil that is full of lipids that I often used as well.beachgalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821822814880568404.post-21791273260224840552012-04-19T20:30:05.963-04:002012-04-19T20:30:05.963-04:00I swear by the Intensive Nail Treatment Oil paired...I swear by the Intensive Nail Treatment Oil paired with the strengthening cream. My nails are so healthy using those as a duo. I use them every night. Now I need to try the Rebuilding base coat. Anything to keep my nails from pealing is big in my book - and I sure hear you on changing from your established base coat. I am usually headed for problems when I do that..though I did start to use OPI Nail Envy and did not have my nails suddenly go to thin pealing messes like usual when I depart from my established base coat. I have had the SAME mani on 6 days right now and cannot believe it. I have only put 1 new coat of SV topper to pick up the shine again. I expected the typical chips and tip wear and am not getting it. I don't know what is going on...I have Nail Envy as the base, 2 coats of OPI My Pointe Exactly (the gray sheer) - 2 coat of Pirouette my Whistle (OPI's glitter from the NYC Ballet collection) - 1 coat of the sheer white in the same OPI collection - called Don't Touch My Tutu. I put that on so it did not look as grayed down but the gray still is how they look...but I have tons of the silver micro glitter showing through as well as the matte white hex shapes. It's my fav mani for awhile - and the fact it's lasting so long, I just cannot get over it. I am going to need to take it off I think due to growth line at the base vs. it giving out. Really wild.beachgalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821822814880568404.post-16592028314287309072012-04-18T22:06:57.064-04:002012-04-18T22:06:57.064-04:00I used to use the Protein base treatment.

I'd actually recommend it if someone is looking for something to help get some more protein on their nails.BMRhttp://doingmynails.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821822814880568404.post-7337814816074476592012-04-18T19:00:21.369-04:002012-04-18T19:00:21.369-04:00I never tried these treatments.
