Shiny and strong!

This did exactly as it says, I would argue within hours my nails are significantly stronger and look cleaner. I love that it is a clear tint so there is still a little bit of sparkle and shine. I found this stays on really well, and my nails looks cleaner and whiter. The shine makes me really happy, My nails dont look naked or over the top. This is a must have for toe nails in all seasons I think.

My only wish is that one day nail polish etc loses that smell of paint so I dont have to hide myself away to use it!

Magic little bottle for nails

The presentation of the product is cute, and looks sophisticated compared to others on the shelf without a tidy wee box with embossed styling. It smells like regular polish, and is easily applied like polish. The clear coating looks like a good quality top coat, rather than a product targeting a flaw. I applied two coats and it did harden nicely, and doesn’t peel or flake. After 3 days I took it off with polish remover, and it came off cleanly without being sticky like some fix it products I’ve used before. I applied two more coats and have had them on for 4 days now - it wears well. I generally find my nails peel or split at the side, over the 7 days I used it I didn’t find any new splits or peeling, so I count that as a win.

Great so far.

Easy to use use, great brush and standard packaging of their nail polishes. Instructions where simply: apply two coats to clean bare nails. I applied two coats and waited a few minutes in between applications. I recommend waiting as it does smear otherwise. Being winter it took a while to dry the full two coats (comparable to normal nail polish).

It didn’t chip or peel away after a few days like other treatment either. It held up well and will only need reapplication once a week or as required. I think it’s great for people like me who are either trying to grow their nails or have weak, short nails that break easily. Immediately after applying my nails felt stronger and I believe my nails did look visibly healthier after 3 days. There appeared to be less splitting at the nail ends which will eventually help them grow.

Overall I love the fact that you don’t need to apply this everyday like other treatments I have used before to get similar results. The smell of the nail strengthener was quite horrendous frankly so loses a point there.

Tips: Fresh air is needed with this application.

Hard to resist

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!

Amazing

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.

Essie nail polish

This polish is great for a shield on your nails. I’m a hair dresser and have my hands in water all day and it’s been saving them from constantly breaking so will be continuing to use this!

Nice to have nails again!

I wish I had longer to review the Essie Hard to Resist Advanced Strengthener but on the face of it, it does what it says on the tin/bottle!

I do a lot of swimming and I work in a gym, so my nails haven't been "normal" for some time. They tend to be soft and peel frequently. I miss the lovely pink and white natural nails I normally have.

I used the Essie Hard to Resist Advanced Strengthener and it has lasted nearly 2 weeks, despite a few swims. My nails are growing but as yet I can't determine if that is simply because they have the strengthener on them or if they really are stronger. Only time will tell.

Still, the pink nails with white tips are back for now. And that's a good enough reason for me to keep using it!

Love the shine!!

The nail polish is awesome. I love a good clear nail polish that has a shine and this does not disappoint. One coat wasn't noticeable at all, two coats was a bit shiny and three coats was like a shiny mirror. I haven't had a broken nail since using this polish. I did find three really thin coats to be the best, as if they were thicker it did tend to come off at the tips and then peel off.

Tips: It dries super fast - I kept it at my desk and put on a new coat every morning for three days and it dried so quick and kept my nails hard and strong. I'll be sure to continue using this.

Hard to Fault

This product promises stronger, less brittle nails in as little as three day and I was looking forward to putting this to the test as my nails are not in great shape after continuously wearing fake nails.

The polish is clear which makes it difficult to notice any chips and after applying two coats of this treatment and wearing it for a couple of weeks, there was minimal chipping and my nails felt thicker and stronger too

This product is perfect for those who have a job that doesn’t allow for colorful nail polish. and makes your nails look shiny and healthy after applying.

All in all I am happy with my experience with this product and feel that it's helped my natural nails to become stronger and less brittle.
