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.

Chips next day

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

    I was surprised at the quality of polish for the little amount of money spent.  This polish is thick and glossy and leaves your nails looking like they have a gel manicure.  I use it as a top coat but it can be used on its own as well.  My only disappointment is that it peels if your nails are in water a lot.

    This product works for about a day or two, but it always ends up lifting from my nails. The polish also becomes very tacky once introduced to air and the product doesn't last long. Once your half way it's to sticky to take out of the bottle and actually use.

    Great Product

    I love using Sally Henson Hard Nails, after applying it to my nails it gives a really good shine which i like. Using this product is amazing, you can use it co many ways to protect your nails. Nonetheless, you can use it after you polish your nails as well. Such a great product to have.

    Great as a top coat

    I'm sure its not the accurate use of this product but I will often use it as a top coat. I have have a nail bitting issue on off since I was a kid. And so my nails are not in great shape. This is a great way to toughen up your nails and its nice and shiny too.

    I love Sally Hansen nail products. They make my nails look really beautiful. I don't know if this product actually hardens my nails, but it's worth a try. It leaves my nails shiny and healthy looking. I invest in many Sally Hansen products and have for many years.

    Great for those who work with their hands!

    I only bought this product a couple of days ago, but so far it has exceeded my expectations. I work a retail job and I am constantly using my hands to open boxes and stock shelves. My nails are very weak and tend to peel back several layers, I think this is due to years of nail-biting when I was a child. Anyway, THIS LASTS SO LONG! Usually, all nail polish will chip after a day of work and it leaves me so frustrated. I decided to give this a try to see how it would go and so far it has held on strong. I do not have long nails but so far the peels that I am currently dealing with are actually sealed in with this nail polish. I really hope this product allows the nails to grow out just enough to where I can file off those peels. As far as the...

    Horrible

    I thought this would make my nails stronger but it just kept them the same. The polish is thick and a pain to take off. If anything this made my nails weaker if that was even possible. This is very heavy on the nail and it peels which was surprising. I do not recommend.

    Sally Hansen Hard as Nails

    I have shallow nail beds, so for my nails to get long enough for nail wraps, which I prefer, I have to grow them out a fair bit. They look pretty but tend to break easily so I always use a coat of the Hard as Nails. Over time you can see a difference.

    This stuff is really good for hardening your nails if you like your nails to be natural but also very strong I highly recommend this as a topcoat or as a clearcoat polish it does work better if you apply it every single day sometimes I've applied it twice a day once at morning once at night and it definitely does work to reduce chipping

    Love it! No need to go to the nail salon and have your nails silk wrapped you could do it yourself at home for free. No improvement needed, hard as nails says it all. This is perfect for everyone but especially for those with weak nails. Yes I will Continue buying this product.

    This is one of my fave nail hardeners. I usually shoot a coat of this in between manicures. Before I apply my base coat, I'll apply a layer of this first and wait for it to dry. It says it can be used as a base coat itself but I prefer to use a separate base coat. Also, sometimes I'll apply this in between manicures Ex... I'll apply this over my polish 2 days after doing a new manicure. Usually, I'll only do this if I have a broken nail growing back. This truly does make my nails hard as steel

    I've used this for a long time with excellent results repeatedly. My nails are brittle sometimes and I use Sally Hansen to make them apple and stop the splitting with excellent results. The price doesn't hurt my pocket. It goes on without small bubbles like some brands I've used. My nails are not only getting repaired but also have a high luster to them due to the product therefore enhancing the beauty of my nails!

    Everyone listen up! THE best treatment for brittle nails. Especially after gel or acrylics are taken off. My nails don't break and this is long lasting. Literally have been using this since high school and I'm in my early 30's. If you have brittle or damaged or sensitive nails- do yourself a favor and buy!

    I love this polish! Helps keep my nails super strong and dries pretty fast! I use it under and on top of my colored polish. It's super affordable and is perfect for everyday use. It last me about a week or 2. My nails never keep polish on unless I use this product! Oh downfall is it dries up at the top and can make it hard to open after awhile.

    I used to have a problem biting my nails and then when I outgrew that, they were very soft and broke easily.  This is what my mom always bought me to try to help with those problems.  It worked as it should and I eventually no longer needed it because I started taking hair and nail vitamins which did my nails wonders.  But anyone that has continued problems with soft nails and and/or biting, I recommend this to.  Fairly inexpensive.

    i love it

    I love it from the first moment that I buy it, it always keeps my nails super firm and without breakages, I would certainly never change it, I do not remember its cost but if I remember it more, it was less than 8 dollars, it fascinates me, I recommend it more if you have brittle nails

    This is the only thing that helps me grow out my nails without damage.  If I consistently use this they definitely get stronger.  Without it they are paper thin and break off constantly. Once I run out I HAVE to buy a new one immediately. I would recommend this to anyone who has the brittle nail struggle.

    I've used this for a while as an undercoat and i have seen some results. My only complaint is that it chips and flakes off the nail easily and gets very thick in the bottle. Either way i did see an improvement in my nails and nailbed after using this for a month

    This is very good but it works like a clear nail polish the only things that it does that a nail polish doesn't are dry extremely fast and blends out nail damage. This product does peel of after about a week more or less but it does@prevent your nails from bending, chipping and/or breaking and personally it didn't cause any yellowing to my nails.

    When my nails have been going through it thanks to lots of nail painting, I like to give them a break to breathe for a day or so and then put down a couple of coats of this product to help bring them back to life and strengthen them back up. I generally like to have at least one Sally Hansen strengthening treatment on hand at home, as I'm always pretty satisfied with their nail care products.
