 Subject: DIY Nail Hardener recipeMessage: This recipe really works. Fill small bottle of: 3 Tablespoons of water 1 Tablespoon of glycerin (any drug store) 1 Teaspoon of Alum powder (any drug store) Mix/shake well until all powder is desolved. I apply it to entire with a Q-Tip at bedtime, every night. It goes on watery/oily.. let dry. Takes a maybe one minute to apply to both hands. IMPORTANT!!!: Apply to desired hardness ONLY! That means stop when it's hard enough. [touch up in a month or so.] (that means about 2 weeks to hardness) IF you keep applying, it will start to flake and look like a cook pastry. FLAKY! (Thats what mom did...after she gave me the recipe. But I had no problem with it, IF directions are followed.) Lastly, recipe said to remove with alcohol in the morning. I used it as a nail biters preventative. It gets noticably harder. Feels different when stuck in your mouth to bite. LOL Happy nails! |

They will seam harder because they are not moisture balanced therefore they are made brittle....not hard or stronger.... The following information is just FYI: Definitions of 'alum' (ăləm) - 2 definitions - The American Heritage® Dictionary alum (n.) Any of various double sulfates of a trivalent metal such as aluminum, chromium, or iron and a univalent metal such as potassium or sodium, especially aluminum potassium sulfate, AlK(SO)·12HO, widely used in industry as clarifiers, hardeners, and purifiers and medicinally as topical ASTRINGENTS and styptics. alum (n.) Informal An alumna or alumnus. Glycols Glycerol, commonly known as glycerin, is a trihydric alcohol [C3H5(OH3)] obtained from animal- and/or vegetable-derived fats and oils during the production of soap, fatty acid and *detergent alcohol* [natural]. Glycerin also is produced from petrochemical building blocks [synthetic]. It is a clear, colorless, odorless, viscous, water-soluble, hygroscopic liquid with a sweet taste. [French glycérine, from Greek glukeros, sweet.] noun Glycerol or a preparation of glycerol. The Alum will dehydrate the soft tissue around the nails, (i.e. the cuticles,) and will make them crack and receed! The old timers used alum powder to shrink their gums after teeth were pulled in older times! This would prep their gums for making impressions for dentures.... |
