Amazing product xox

I can not explain in words how much this product has helped my nails. I have used this product multiple times on my nails which usually tend to chip easily and now they hardly do. This product also gave my nails a glossy shiny glow, and they feel a lot more thicker than my nails typically do. Absolutely love this product, most definitely recommend it especially if you do have thin nails like me. Xox

Great product

My nails felt stronger after one use! I have had a lot of breakage lately and using this strengthener helped straight away and after a few days my nails were looking nice and healthy.

It works

I was excited to try this as I love my naturally long nails so like to take care of them. However, the instructions and such on the box was so small it was mainly unreadable, I managed with a lot of straining of the eyes to make out the one sentence instructions, apply to nails and leave for three days. My mind was full of questions, then what? Do I take it off? Can I put polish over it? Etc so I googled it. Leave on for three days then remove and use between polish. So I did that. Within hours I could tell my nails were hardening. They didn’t bend as normal. By the next day they wouldn’t bend at all. After three days I removed with polish remover. I decided to wait to write this to see how long it would last, it’s been nearly a week and my nails are still hardened. Those with weak nails or nails damaged by acrylics etc would definitely benefit from the product and it is the best one I have tried. I did read in an article that you should be wary using gardeners as nails should bend otherwise they can snap off. So use only if needed.

Tips: Only use this if needed and be careful as you don’t want your nails to snap, they should bend.

Almost Instant strengthening

This product is great - as soon as it's dry you can feel the difference - nails do feel stronger. The product is truly clear, so no discolouring like other products I've used in the past. I put on 2 coats with a little time in between to dry and within about 5 minutes it was good to go. No chipping or breaking during the week, apart from my thumb nail which has a damaged nail bed, and I sometimes have to buff it down. I put an extra 2 coats on that nail after a couple of days, to fix it & it is protecting that also. I like the slight shine that makes you feel more finished. Next time I'll put a bit of colour on them & use this as a topcoat. This will definitely be my go-to, to keep my nails looking their best every day. Quick and easy.

A great product for those tatty nails

I have using Essie Hard To Resist Nail Strengthener for two weeks now and my nails are amazing . It certainly strengthens them to the point they have now got to a length that I can file them into a great shape and start to be proud of my hands. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has nail problems. Will continue to use on a weekly basis.

A Trial Treat!

I am not a 'nails person' - however, am now converted. Essie Hard to Resist Advanced Nail Strengthener arrived in her cute little box with a window to display the clear bottle appropriately. A safe and easy-to-use brush ensured the liquid glided on to nails quickly, and it dried in no time. My chipped and ugly nails almost smiled at me! The strengthener was just that - strong. It left a sparkle which for my purposes was all that was needed without coloured polish, etc. The application lasted two days or longer, again most convenient. This product is now a permanent essential for me, certainly my nails have improved noticeably, no cracks, chips or embarrassment.

Tips: Try it - I certainly am extremely impressed. For a non-polish person, this has boosted my confidence.

It Works!

My main issue is with peeling nails. As a healthcare worker I'm constantly washing and hand sanitising, so stronger nails would be lovely.

I wore Essie Hard to Resist for 4 days initially, cleaned it off, then reapplied for another 5 days.

I initially loved how easy the applicator brush is to use. I also really like how shiny it makes my nails. It looks like I have a fancy manicure.

It started to chip on day 3, but unlike normal nail polish it didn't peel off a top layer of my nail as well.

My nails definitely feel more resilient, and I feel more confident about trying to grown them out longer than normal.

Next time I apply this product I will use it as a base for normal nail polish and then update this review with the results. I feel like it will provide a nice protective layer against the harshness of nail polish.

Essie Hard to Resist lifeline for damaged nails

This opportunity to review Essie Hard to Resist Advanced Strengthener came at a great time. I had two SNS manicures in a row. Unfortunately the product started splitting off and because I didn't have time to visit the salon, I picked it off, leaving my nails in a terrible condition - they were paper thin. Essie Hard to Resist Advanced Strengthener came to my rescue. I applied Essie Hard to Resist Advanced Strengthener to the nails on my left hand and left my other nails bare. The difference was remarkable. The treated nails were stronger and did not break and split like before. My other nails were just awful. The product goes on easily, dries quickly and my nails have a lovely clear shine. Yes, I am happy to recommend this product and will be happy to repurchase. Thanks Essie - lifeline for damaged and weak nails.

Tips: Use two coats for the best results.

Great product

My nails have always been very brittle and weak. They break and bend very easily. I have tried many products but none seem to make a lot of difference. This product feels different. My nails looked healthier and felt stronger after a couple of days. I haven't used this product for long but want to continue with it to see if they continue to improve

Works wonders!!

I regularly get gel nails and decided to have a break when I was selected to trial this product - and WOW, I am very impressed with the results. It applies evenly and dries very fast! I found it definitely hardened them and gave them a nice glossy shine. I will continue to use this until I decide to get gels again and buy when I run out.
