Nail-AidCeramide Extreme Thickener + Gel Top Coat, Clear, 2 Count

I originally found this product on a department store shelf and ended up loving it so much I've repurchased and also bought it as gifts for other ladies. The orange bottle (the ceramide strengthener) is my holy Grail. My nails use to be paper thin and wouldn't break, but rather, they would shred. The top layers peeling off until they were non-existent and bleeding. Graphic I know. I started using this product and within a couple days I could already see my nails visibly growing back and thickening up. After a week, they had already reached the point of seeing the white tips starting to show and after about a month, they reached this length. (This is the length I prefer for my natural nails). My nails are incredibly strong now. I can hit them against things and they don't bend or peel or anything. If they do break (like the other day when I hit my pinky on the wall while trying to escape my toddlers room for the night) then it is a clean break that can easily be filed down with no additional damage and within a day or two, you can't even tell it happened. I use this product constantly, 2 coats under polish, and a layer over it. Or, on its own, 2 coats, then a new coat every other day. It dries within seconds too. By time I finish painting one hand, the other is already dry. As for the gel-like shine top coat. It's meh. Takes longer to dry and I don't feel it gives any better of a shine than the strengthener itself does but it came as a set so I'll still use it.

Love it! I'm hoping this helps make my nails stronger... so far so good! Both dry quickly too!

The product I received was fresh, the packaging was pristine.When I applied the product it went on smoothly and had a lovely glasslike sheen.It did seem to make my thin, peeling nails into thicker nails. These nails stayed beautiful for 3 or 4 days through handwashes, washing dishes by hand without gloves, opening pop cans, putting on/removing clothes, sleeping, showering, eating, doing laundry, cooking.Im happy with it and Id buy it again!

Works good on my short thin nails this product stands up to it's name.

This polish peeks off too easily which makes your nails frail and chip easily.

The nail thickener, helped my thin nails after the first time , I use it everyday

Nail extreme thickener peels easily.

My favorite nail-aid.
