I decided on day to actually learn what you are supposed to do with your nails correctly and decided to not just buy stuff from the dollar store anymore. That lead me down a deep rabbit hole about which products where best, the types of nail polish, undercoats, top-coats, gels, hardeners and AHHHhhhh! Suffice it to say I am more familiar and comfortable building a fire in my wood stove or fixing things around the house.I am also... kinda of cheap because I have brilliant children who will want to go to college someday and other things I am always saving up for.So, with all of that in mind I started the journey towards finding high quality but not too expensive clear coats. This was one of the 3 I bought and I am absolutely impressed! It lasts for weeks. I am pretty rough on my nails but this stuff just lasted and continued being shiny, smooth and keeping my nails happy.One thing I did notice which is probably just because I have never used anything like this before was that instead of breaking off in one big break like my nails normally do, with this on they flaked in layers or broke in smaller ways just at the tips. It didn't seem like it caused any negative issues because nails will always break eventually, but that was a change in how they reacted I noticed.So for the price and what it is the quality is there. It isn't too thick which is nice, and it dries quickly. Can't ask for much more for a basic hardener/clear coat.

The Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails Strengthener is a great product. My grandma and I both have nails that tend to be fragile, and this product is a game-changer.After a couple of weeks of use, I noticed significant improvements in my nails' strength. There was no more splitting or breakage. Nails feel harder and smoother, and their grandma's ridges diminished, leaving their nails healthy and polished. The subtle, natural tint adds a healthy shine.It's easy to apply and dries quickly. Applying 2-3 coats to bare nails, letting each coat dry before applying the next, is recommended. The nourishing ingredients like Nylon, Retinol, Omega 3, and Soy also make a difference in the overall health of the nails.

Truly does make a difference in hardness of my nails. They don’t break nearly as easily. It does smell pretty bad, so I recommend opening a window when using.

This nail strengthener is very good. I would recommend this because since I got a cut on my nail, I put this on and it stuck together really fast. This is the most greatest product for the price. This is just like nail polish. This is especially good for sports. This product will not let your nail crack. This also makes your nails glossy. This is a five out of five stars. I do not regret buying this. The only bad part about this is just the substance just sometimes gets on the bottle. Everything else is on point

I loved this product the minute I put it onto my nails for the first time. I have somewhat fragile nails (they literally break sometimes just from tapping against a door a wrong way) after applying this polish my nails have been growing strong without a worry of breaking. I've put 3-4 layers; it dries super quick and makes my nails shine beautifully! I'd recommend trying this product out, you can't beat the price, and the more layers the better.
