It's just ok

This is pretty good as the basecoat. I haven't found that is strengthened my nails at all.  the drying time is fast and it goes on nice and it's shiny.

I got it cause it said acrylic so i thought it would be hard, but it litterally is just like any basic shiny coat! And chips and peels the very next day

    Not as advertised

    I bought this product hoping that it was really "powerful acrylic gel". It is not. I used it as directed and it chipped off within 10 minutes of getting to work the next morning.

    PERFECTION

    Love, love, love this product. My nails are hard as rocks, do not chip, thick and beautiful. Wish I would have found it sooner! Have everyone in my family using it.

    Stays on!

    I haven't used this recently only bc my nail health has improved! But when I did use it, I was happy with results. It really stayed on and protected the nail.

    Best thing to date...

    I have never had nails unless they were fake, acrylic or used gel on them. All those things made my nails worse. They thinned them out, split them, weakened them and just made me want to cry because I love seeing women with beautiful nails. I started using this amazing product and now in about two weeks, I already have grown out nails with nice white tips. I love this product. Yes, I know the stuff does get a bit thick and stringy, and is sometimes hard to apply, but patience pays and I love my longer more beautiful nails!

    waste of money

    I bought this because I have wore acrylic nails for years and want to grow my own nails out now but they are so thin and brittle it's hard to do. When I seen this I was happy to find something that says it will help them be stronger and well it made them "thicker" but there are bubbles after it dries. And it took 2 hours to completely dry and not to mention it's gooey and has "strings" from it when you pull the brush out of the bottle. I'm going to toss it in and garbage and I will not be using this product anymore. Big disappointment!

    I didn't really care for this product. I'm not sure if I had greater expectations than what it was offering or what but I was disappointed. So my thought was because it said wraps that it would have the strength and hardness of a nail wrap. It didn't. I would use this as a top coat if needed because I ran out of actual top coat. But otherwise I don't think I'd give this his another try.

    This one is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone! I loved it so much I would also use it as a top coat for my acrylic nails or regular painted nails. I bought over 4 of these. They're quiet expensive but it's a charm. It does get tacky over time but the quality goes on a 10. It's glossy, dries quick and really hardens the nail. Super shine.

    Healthy Nails!!

    My mom introduced this product to me. I haven't used this in awhile, but nails did grow when I was using the product. I definitely think of this as a go-to. I've had acrylics before the pandemic and now, prefer to do my own nails. So, I may add this to my new nail routine.

    I've been using this for ages. I use to get acrylic nails. After taking them off my nails would be very brittle. This helps a ton. I use it now for every day use. My nails don't split as much. I have longer nails too. Definitely a beauty item to keep around.

    Not my favorite

    This treatment didnt help my nails very much overall with hardness - my nails stayed pretty easy to bend and peel even after regular use of this product. What DID help long term was drinking more water, using cuticle oil nightly, and taking vitamins and a biotin supplement. I dont recommend this product.

    Soooooo disappointing

    I struggle with my natural nails. They are so weak and split. I simply cannot grow them to any half decent length. When I saw this product I was very hopeful but I'm afraid the product simply does not live up to expectations and deliver what it is advertised to do. Within literally hours of applying it as a base coat, my nail polish is peeling off. I would not recommend the product at all. Please everyone, save your money.

    I do like this Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Gard as Wraps Hardener, but long use of this I believe actually makes your nails worse. It's a little on the expensive side so I didn't like that my nails would start peeling or chipping around 2 or 3 days of a fresh paint job. So I do think that it took away the longevity of my nail polish. So what I do now is use this on my bare nails for acouple of days without any nail polish on top then when I feel like I need to apply nail polish, I'll use another Sally Hansen product that helps with growth or another hardener product that won't peel as fast as this one. I do think that by doing this trade off has helped my nails grow and has helped them get harder. So they aren't so brittle from the 15+ yea...

    I use this either alone or under my polish at all times. My normally very thin nails prone to breakage and splitting, are now long and strong. I've tried lots of different strengtheners in different price ranges and so far this works the best for me. As an added bonus, it prolongs the length of time my Essie polish can go without starting to chip.

    I love how hard this makes my nails feel. I have very flimsy nails so this does chip off after about 2-3 days which is the only con I have. It���s the only thing I've used that actually makes my nails feel sturdy so I don't mind reapplying every couple days.

    I love this clear coat its thick and makes the nails shine amazingly. Only let down is it does take a while to dry and you have to be careful as you apply more coats and let it be dry if not it gets super tacky and it will mess up all your process or mani.

    Longer stronger nails!

    This works really well to strengthen your nails so they can grow ling and beautiful. I really like all the Sally Hansen hard as nails products. It's affordable and effective. Plus you don't have to have a nail technician license to purchase them! Win, win!

    I just started using this as I had to take my gel nails off. My nails weren't too thin, but damaged a bit and needed something. If anything, the shine looks nice enough to make this worth it. Not super hopeful about the hardening aspect, but it will do in a pinch.

    I recently decided to discontinue going to the nail salon for fake nails, so my real nails are very brittle and thin. I use this product as a base as well as a top coat after I apply color and it has definitely kept my nails feeling stronger while they grow out.

    I actually used this to help quit chewing on my fingernails. I would make sure I had a fairly thick coat on my nails of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Hard As Wraps maybe 2-4 coats of it on my nails and I made sure my cuticles were nice and trimmed which helped with the growth. And 15 years later, I have not bit or chewed on my nails since.

    This is a nice nail treatment for those with brittle nails BUT prolonged wear can make your nails worse. The other thing is that if you use this as a base coat, I notice my polish doesn't last as long - works almost as a peel off base coat, which I like but is definitely not what everyone wants. Just remember to use cuticle oil a few times a day if you really want your nails to get stronger!
