Nail Care, 8-Free Vegan, Hard To Resist Nail Strengthener, Neutralize & Brighten, violet, 0.46 fl oz

My nails can grow well but they always chip and flake. Especially my dominant hand thumb and middle finger.I am a gym girl, I wash dishes, I cook for my lovef ones, I type on the keyboard 8-12 hours a day, I am a dog mom, I box. I wanted a little extra protection and mostly was wanting a little color while I take my month long break from nail polish to reduce yellowing and stuff so I can have a very nice french tip for a wedding. I used it on my toes too. My nails immediately felt more protected and stronger. It looks like the stains are fading. This video is with 2 coats of the purple one on. Cannot wait to try the pink!!

This stuff is great. It stayed on my nails for 3 months!!!!

Best I have ever used. My brittle nails are finally growing longer.

I was initially really frustrated with this polish: I was expecting two coats to give me a beautiful, subtle lavender sheen that stuck around for a week, maybe, before I needed to put on another coat. What I got is no change in color and almost all the polish chipping off in 2-3 days.But... and this is why I still give a 4 star review... my nails are INCREDIBLY weak and easy to break, and after a week they suddenly aren't. They feel stronger at the tips. I smashed my finger into something while mowing the lawn earlier today and barely chipped a nail - I was expecting the entire end to have broken off.So maybe this isn't as aestheticly pleasing as I hoped, but I am going to keep using it. I would love a little more color but I value having nails period over that!

This works great! There is no color at all regardless of the purple look of it. It hardens your nails nearly instantly meaning it drys fast. It was well worth the buy!

Applies 3 days ago, no tint of color at all and my nails have broken more now than prior to using! I purchased with the intent of using in between colors so I had just a slight color would be protective. Definitely did not work that way. Most definitely it was a waste!

I bought the 01 Neutralize & Brighten to help with yellow tones on my nails from overusing gel polish. This does nothing to help neutralize the yellow tones. It’s just a clear nail polish. I added 3 coats and no change. I painted a sample swatch on a white piece of paper and it’s just clear, not violent tinted like the description shows/says. Plus it chips off very easily and I’m not rough on my hands at all. Wish I could return it

I really hope Essie never discontinues the purple clear one, because I find it to be very versatile. Firstly, I really like using about two coats of this alone. Really makes my nails look beautiful, and so easy to use if I need a quick manicure and something to protect my nails. Secondly, used in conjunction with a diligent regime of hand cream, some type of oil multiple times a day, and a simple weekly manicure of my cuticle area, I feel like my nails are stronger and now growing. This is amazing, because I work with my hands. Lastly, I love combos like these - a coat of this, with a coat of ILNP's Confetti and a coat of Orly's Bare Rose or a coat of this and ILNP's My Own Private Rainbow X- makes a beautiful and slightly more interesting bare and minimal nail color.

Update. It took about 2 applications but my smokers nails have significantly improved and I have never found a product to do this! I buff them and I lose the nail! Don't smoke but if you do buy this!! My nails are horrible because I swim everyday. This appears to help. I will update as to length of wear and overall results

Really nice shine and I think my nails are getting better.

I feel as though I've FINALLY found a product that makes a difference with my weak nails. It goes on thick and stays on. I put some on the underside of the nail now that I actually have some growth! I highly recommend thos product.

Very good product. Great brush design. Good price.

This product does not last. It is basically a clear coat nail polish.I applied two coats as directed. Applied in the evening and by mid morning the following day, the polish chipped on three nails. The second day, my nails were splitting and breaking again.Would not recommend!
