nail care, strengthener treatment, vegan, Hard To Resist Advanced, 0.46 fl oz

I’ve tried so many nail repair products and this one is far away the very best for my nails. Wish I’d found it sooner! I have thin, flat, small nail beds. Polishes (regular and UV gel) as well as glue on nails typically start peeling or lifting within a day or two. This stuff doesn’t lift and has made my nails stronger and able to grow. My nails have never been this long and strong. Love this product.

i like this essie strengthener treatment better than other nail brand options out there. it doesn't flake and make my nails worse. the price seems a little high for such a small bottle, but it is comparable to other brands.

Arrived on time and well packaged. Used 2 coats and it literally peeled right off my nails; used only one coat and no problem. Not sure if it’s going to actually strengthen my nails but it will protect them. If it does help my nails grow & strengthen then I will definitely repurchase.

I have been using this for over a year in combination with 2 more products posted on the photos. I put a first coat of the Essie one and then another coat of the Keratin one. I let them dry before applying 2 coats of my natural nail polish. I have extremely brittle nails. The chipped and break from the corner of the nail bed. But using these 2 products together has helped them tremendously. Context: I used to be a nails bitter since childhood. I have never used gel manicure or UV, only once and it didn’t go well. I did use a handful of times press on with regular nail glue. The reason why I give it 4, is because the product advertises it hardens the nail, and this did not happen with me. It helps them grow and I can have them a bit longer, but not strong and not as long as I want them to be before the chipped right from the corners. You can see in the photos a couple of nails that were shorter and with 2 applications for the last 14 days, it has from from zero to where you see them. (Nail in question is my index finger).

I think I've tried every nail strengthener on the market and this is the best for my weak nails that peel and shatter and generally don't do what fingernails are supposed to do. The only caveat I have is to change it at least weekly or it will start to peel off, taking part of your nail with it.

This stuff truly strengthens my nails! I will reapply after a week or so. Nice shine.

Been using this for a while now to help my nails-they have increased in strength but I find the polish chips.

Great item! Lasts almost a week without chipping. I use two coats. Very shiny finish. No need for polish with this!!! Nails look great.

Great my nails are way stronger

Adds a nice shine to the nails. I wanted something that would strengthen my nails and I did not notice much of a difference initially. Keep applying a few times a week to see results. I usually do two heavy coats for each application. My nails went from being weak, brittle and breaking often to long and gorgeous. Very happy with this purchase!

Second time I'm buying this. I work at the hospital & use hand sanitizer all day long so my nails are very brittle. This is a life saver. It dries quickly, I did notice the difference after about a week of using it. However, I do apply 2-3 layers. You need to let it dry fully between layers otherwise the polish forms little bubbles. And yes it does peel if you play with it, like other strengthers I used, but it is the best one I had by far.

I ended up being stubborn and the last set of acrylic professionally done nails, I let them just grow out naturally. By the time there was about a half way point between my natural nail bed and the remaining acrylic nail tip, I started applying this polish. Not only did it keep those raggedy side pieces from catching against clothes and hair (aka brushing and washing hair) it helped nourish my incoming new nail bed. Once I was able to safely pry the last bit of the fake nail tips off, I continued to just coat my whole nails and it felt, and grew back healthy. The only reason I give it four stars vs five is because the polish chips easily, it comes off when you wash dishes, its not the most permanent. But I just reapply one little coat again and again and I cant wait for the rest of the brittle tips of my nail to grow out. But I cant say I wont keep using it because it just feels so silky and smooth and looks shiny. Highly recommend it regardless.

I started yesterday so I cannot tell the long time results. I can say the smell is OK. It look like a base coat. And in one day I fell my nails a little bit harder.
