Sally HansenHard As Nails®, Natural Tint, Nail Strengthener, Nail Protectant

I have been using this product for a couple of months now and it has INDEED strengthened my nails as well as helping them grow. I can't tell you how many times I've been accused of having "fake nails"! That's never occurred before in my life (especially since I used to be a "nail biter" in my youth).I put on a coat after taking all my nailpolish off. If I have some nails that appear to be weak, I put on a second coat. I am a huge fan of colored nail polish, so after using my favorite color with two separate coats, I seal the deal with yet another topcoat of this nail polish. It really has improved my nails! The bottle lasts a good two months as long as you don't overdo it and I change my nail color multiple times a week.I can't say enough about this product! Buy it, it's a GOOD price and you too will notice a difference in no more than a month! Sometimes just a a week!

I’ve been using the Hard as Nails strengthener for a few weeks now, and I can already see a noticeable difference in the strength of my nails. They’re no longer splitting or peeling like they used to. It applies easily and dries quickly, which is super convenient. I like that it adds a nice shine too. The only downside is the strong smell when you first apply it, but that fades pretty fast. Overall, this product delivers on its promise. It’s a great affordable option if you’re trying to grow out your natural nails stronger!

I wash my hands like a 1000 times a day and my nails crack and break very easy I started using the hard as nails and my nails are having a chance to grow Works by me

Ever since I went through chemotherapy, my very thin nails started to grow longer. I think it must have been the steroids. That was quite a while ago. However, even before I discovered I had cancer, I started taking Natural Wellbeing brand Hair Essential capsules for thinning hair. I take 2 capsules instead of the recommended 3 because I'm trying to be thrifty. I didn't notice much difference in my hair, but I did in my nails, in as little as 2 weeks. After chemo, I still had those nails, so I started again and used Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails hardener. I'm not sure if it does anything more than clear nail polish, but it’s a great price. Just know that the gentle pink hue doesn't show up on the nails—it's just for branding. I wish they'd make a blue version for what's called an optical brightener, but I guess pink appeals to women.In my experience, any polish with 3 coats is too much. It peels off almost in one piece. I tried 3 coats with this and had that peeling issue, so I stick to 2 coats. I type on a laptop keyboard, which is harder on nails than a regular keyboard. It’s more difficult to keep nails even at what's called active length, but with the aforementioned supplement and this polish, I manage. I have to remove and reapply about every third night, though I think it would last four nights if I used a regular keyboard. I suffer from fatigue, so sometimes I just apply polish over chipped nails. Since it’s clear, it’s not that noticeable and doesn't look tacky like colored polish would. Since it claims to be a hardener, I'll use it as a base coat when I try for winter-themed nails, hopefully soon. I plan to use blue with pearl polish dots for show. That will be 3 coats, so I'll see if all that effort is worth it. I hope it lasts 3-4 days.My right index finger was ripped below the quick, and it's just now growing out. This happened from using the laptop mousepad, as I have to do a digging action to right-click. Don’t get me started ranting about laptop mousepads... When finances allow, I plan to get the "Saviland 60g Nail Repair Kit for Broken Damaged Nails: 3 Mins Air Dry Quick & Easy Instant Broken Nail Repair Natural Clear & Pink." I'm hoping to use that for torn nails. Amazon doesn't seem to allow links, so that's why I'm giving the detailed names of things so you can search for them. You can also buy empty tea bags, cut them, and use polish to apply them to support the torn nail, but that’s way too much work for me. I wanted to mention it in case someone hasn’t heard of it. I place things like that in my "save for later" area to remind me, as my mind is like a 3-ring circus at any given time.If the polish gets thick in the bottle, add a few drops of acetone. You might want to buy some pipettes for that. I reuse them until they develop a hole.I had another paragraph's worth of information, but my ADHD made me forget it when I stopped to get tea.

This really works! When I’ve not taken care of my nails (gardening, cleaning, etc) & need to get them back on track - this is my go-to. It’s got a great shine & the faintest pink hue. Makes such a difference & so easy to use.

As a loyal customer, Sally's nail hardener is quite nice. It does chip often, but wearing a base and top coat fixed that problem for me. The base and top I used was nail-aid's 3 day keratin growth.

I don’t recommend. After wearing fake nails, I had been finding my nails (my fault) but I saw on YouTube this nail hardener and I thought it would work on the part of my nail that I grinded too hard on but it just made it worse. So I wouldn’t recommend for putting it on weaker part of your nails, since it makes it easier for your actual nail to feel off if it’s already injured

I love this stuff. It goes on smooth and dries quickly. I have bought several bottles and it never disappoints.
