How I Make Money

Some links here are affiliate links. When you click one and buy the product, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That commission doesn't influence which products get tested or what the review concludes. A product that shows nothing in 90 days of Sunday photos gets that result in print, same as one that showed clear progress.

No brand pays for placement, early access, or positive coverage. Every product reviewed here was purchased out of pocket before testing started. If that changes and a product arrives as a gift or sponsored sample, it will be disclosed at the top of the relevant review before any copy runs.

How a Test Works

Every product runs at least 90 days before a review goes up. The protocol is the same for each one:

• Sunday photos on a consistent surface with a tape measure alongside the nail for scale. In winter, the east-facing bathroom window gives sharper morning light. Other months, the ring light clamped to the kitchen table edge handles it.
• Each photo date goes into the pocket notebook with observations: changes in color, edge texture, and thickness at the clipper point, plus any skin reaction or irritation. If nothing changed, that gets written down the same as anything else.
• A product that looks worse before it looks better gets that trajectory recorded, not smoothed over in the summary.
• Tests don't cut short because week six looked discouraging, and they don't extend because month two looked promising. Ninety days is the window.

Scope and Limits

This site covers OTC nail fungus supplements and topicals only. No prescription medications, no clinical study summaries, no device treatments. Every product in a review has been personally tested for the full window. If a product was discontinued mid-test or had a supply interruption, that gets disclosed in the review.

Readers whose nails are getting worse, spreading, causing pain, or not responding to anything OTC should see a podiatrist or dermatologist. This site documents what showed up in photos across a dozen supplement tests. A qualified clinician can assess what is actually happening with your nails and what your specific situation calls for.
