Duri Rejuvacote Review

Hi guys!
I wanted to share with you a review-ish post about my favourite nail strengthener, Duri Rejuvacote, today. I've been using it as a base coat for about a year now but I've never actually used it consistently, the way they recommend. But I did that recently and decided to share the results with you. :)

If you've never heard of it, Duri Rejuvacote is a nail strengthener/growth treatment for damaged or hard-to-grow nails. Duri say that it should take 2-3 weeks to see a dramatic improvement in your nails after you start using Rejuvacote.

So, on Tuesday the 23rd of July, I got really sick of my nails as I do sometimes, and decided to shape my nails round. I go through this a LOT lol, and end up hating the round shape every single time. I don't know why I do it again but anyway. So, the round shape only lasted a day and I decided to go back to my beloved squares. Since my nails were already short, when I tried to go back square, it left me with VERY short nails, almost painfully short! :(

On the 28th of July I decided I was sick of my teeny nails. I decided to not wear any (coloured) polish for 7 days, but only wear my favourite nail strengthener, Duri Rejuvacote! :) I applied one coat of Duri Rejuvacote every day from the 28th of July to the 3rd of August and documented it on my Instagram.

*On the 30th of July, the polish started to peel off my nails so I removed the layers and started over and continued on.

Day 1 - July 28

Nails looking teeny tiny.
(And now it's kinda annoying me that I edited the rest of the photos with a circle border and this one has no border... LOL)

Day 2 - July 29

Not really a noticeable difference lol.

Day 3 - July 30

Still hadn't really noticed any difference but many of my Instagram followers said they noticed a difference. :)

Day 3 - July 30 {Take 2}

After the polish peeled off and reapplying, I took another photo and I now see the difference! Yay! :)

Day 4 - July 31
Not a lot to say here, hehe. :)

Day 5 - Aug 1
By now I was itching to paint my nails and contemplating just quitting this thing now, but I was like NO, gotta keep going! :P

Day 6 - Aug 2
Really happy with the growth and how healthy my nails are looking! :) Very excited to paint my nails, though!!!

Day 7 - Aug 3

I definitely see a difference from day 1 - 7! :) Not a huge difference but they definitely look nicer and have grown a bit.
Cannot wait to paint my nails and also shape my nails because I can definitely notice that my middle nail is not filed perfectly straight. Haha.

And here is a comparison between day 1 and 7.

Other than using Duri Rejuvacote every day, I was also drenching my nails in cuticle oil all week! I usually use a cuticle moisturiser (cream/oil) at least 2 or 3 times a day but I was literally using a cuticle oil 10+ times a day. No joke LOL. Whenever I had the urge to paint my nails, instead I would oil up my cuticles. I don't know how, but it stopped the urge to paint my nails!

Verdict: To be 100% honest, I don't think Rejuvacote worked as well on me now, as it did when I first bought it. I'm thinking this could be because I'm almost at the end of my bottle, though. I have added a little polish thinner to it which could probably change the way it works a bit. I definitely had more amazing results when I first started using it. But - if your nails are very damaged, or you can't get them to grow, or they're very weak, I do 100% recommend Duri Rejuvacote to you! I had amazing results when I first started using it, and 99% of the people I know who have used it, absolutely love it. And now even when I go a little while without it, my nails stay strong and grow fairly fast too. :)

For people in the US, you can purchase Duri Rejuvacote on the Duri website. For us Aussie ladies, I usually buy my Rejuvacote from eBay, and it's also available from Aussie sites Drama Queen Nails, Messy Mansion and Pink Tiger.
