Although I am unaware if professionals use it, it is good for thick calluses. It's a good product!

I think so i am not a professional but once in wile still go for the hand message etc polish noticed the girls are using other than opi base and top coat along with opi polish stayed on great !!all will feel a little tacky at end even after cure until you wipe with alcohol don't forget go easy on polish and top and bottom coat so doesn't get the too thick look ,Happy pretty nails :-)

It should be perfect for this type of application; I know of nothing better, also there are many options for types of nails, i.e., ringshank, stainless, coated, etc.

It is seriously like a cheese grater...I have the roughest, thickest callouses on my feet and it instantly turns it into a fine powder. Its not a razor blade like the callous removers but a more effective tool to remove the thickest callouses and creates instantly soft heels.

I think it will work well. It has several tools that will whittle down a thick nail. Just be careful not to go too deep.

Its not for healing broken nails, I use triple antibioticPlus pain relief, mushers helps protect paws not treat them!

My room mate is a RN and is constantly on her feet. Over the years she has developed a few really big calluses. I used the regular blue roller on her and it took sometime to get them down but it did work. Once I got the super course rollers it took those bad boys right down. I just have the dry cracked feet, no calluses. And it works amazingly! I prefer the super course because by the time I have time to use it my feet are pretty bad. The blue rollers are great for keep up as long as you use it every couple days. Follow up with a good lotion and you're set. If you're feet are horrible they sell the callus remover used at salons on here. Use that first and then follow up with this to smooth and soften. We had to use that on a man's foot. It was narly! Let me know if you have anymore questions

I also use it to trim my own nails, both finger and toes. Works great!I use the fine grit sand disk.Drs used to use these things for trimming toe nails but claimed it caused nail fungus and they stopped using them.However they used a hard rock grinder and not a fine sanding disk. I think this was the difference. I've had my Stylus 1100 since it first came out, which was in the late 90s, I think. It has never failed after hours of use. Only thing I see different compared to the new ones is the price. Mine cost about 60 bux when I purchased it. Now they are about 1/2 that with more accessories. Although I doubt the news ones are as well built as the one I have. Michael-- Deo Vindicabamur I also use it to trim my own nails, both finger and toes.

The gel doesn't seem to damage but with strong nails I don't know that its worth the time and effort. I love it because I had severely damaged nails from years of acrylics. My nails are doing amazingly well but it is a 2 hr. routine every couple of weeks.

I cannot guarantee that your nails are stronger, but the manicure lasts longer and does not peel as it might with regular polish and topcoat. The topcoat is thick and supplies the shine to the manicure. I would suggest that it be used only with the Vinylux polish under it. They are an effective and long-lasting duo.

i havnt used it myself, but i apply the 3rd layer of the other nail thickener which has slightly white colour and nails look good (so i have 1st protective layer of any thickener u have, then quimica as a second, and the 3rd is one more thickener which has a bit of colour). I think u can do it just make sure u have a layer between quimica and colourful nail polish. P.s. My nails are getting really strong. Never had such nails before even being 15 y.o. and its not even 2 weeks yet.

No it's only for acrylic nails. You should try a product called gelousy if you want to do gel. It's great!

this doesn't damage the nails. I was using shellac and when they would take it off eventually it began to whittle away the top of my nail until they were paper thin. My nails are generally very strong. I was ticked because I thought it would strengthen not break down. I am looking for something that will help my strong nails stay strong not damage them.

I use mine for pedicures in addition to manicures. You just have to be careful with it.

I have not tried these on fingernails. Most people probably purchase these to deal with thickened toe nails. They might be a bit of overkill for normal fingernails.

If you have thick toe nails I can suggest Mehaz toenail nippers. It works great on thick toe nails.
