Essie Hard to Resist Advanced Strengthener

Wow my nails look amazing.... They are hard and super shiny.

This clear formula is easy to use and dries quickly, provides a protective barrier. Helps improve resilience and reduce peeling and breaking.

It has even helped repair a vertical split I have had on my thumb nail for months now and I had tried everything to repair this with no success.

Simple to apply on clean bare nails to help promote visibly stronger, natural-looking results.

It comes in a generous sized glass bottle and a little goes along way.

I highly recommend this product for fantastic great healthy looking nails.

I was so excited to try out this nail strengthener, I got into it as soon as it arrived. I absolutely love this product and it couldn’t have come at a better time. My nails were so brittle and had layers peeling off them. I was a little bit skeptical about this strengthener actually working like it says, but I couldn’t be happier with the results. In the usual Essie packaging with the embossed bottle, it looks exactly like a regular clear nail polish. The application is so easy with the nice wide brush which has a slighting rounded tip to help apply perfectly right to the edge of the nail. It’s a really good consistency to work with, not too runny but also not too thick. The strengthener dries down reasonably quickly and straight away protects the nails from any new damage. I noticed instantly that my nails couldn’t bend at all after putting on the two coats that Essie recommends. The only downside I found was right at the tips of my nails, the strengthener wore down a little after about a day - but I am pretty rough with my nails, and besides the slight wear there was no other chipping. This could easily be prevented by using a coloured nail polish or top coat on over the top of it. I will most definitely continue to use this product to get my nails looking healthy and strong again, and I’ve already recommended it to my sister who’s having trouble with brittle nails too. All in all I highly recommend!
