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

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 have tried them all: OPI, Dior, Sally Hansen - BUT I ALWAYS come back to this one. Here is why: 1) it lasts long (if you apply two layers); 2) it gives a gel like clean french look; 3) it really hardens/strengthens weak nails - give it a few weeks; 4) the brush is perfect for precise application; 5) Did I mention the nails look healthy and happy? Love it! Highly recommend!

I've always had thin/flaky nails which never grow more than a millimeter or so past my nail bed. I've tried many different growth serums etc but this has been the best so far. It stays on for a long time without chipping and noticeably helps with growth and strength after a week or so.

It really helps for weak nails

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).
