I got this from the Vault. My nails are getting a bit fragile as I age, and tend to split. Some of this is from the ageing process and some is from lack of moisturising. This product is a sheer pink colour and is easy to apply, with a great brush. I apply to uncoloured nails, but today I applied nail polish. So, I removed what was already there, reapplied, base coated and polished before finishing with a gel top coat. Since using it, I have had no splitting, which is awesome. Will purchase when I run out.

I love this product so so so much! I got it back not so long ago and my nails have most definitely strengthened over time. I recommended this product to a few of my a friends and they love it just as much as I do! Only problem it is a little bit drying but nothing a little bit of cuticle oil can't do!
I have the 'Glow & Shine' one as I had heard how pretty the pink tint is.
You need to use at least two coats of this to get your nails looking good and they do look great. However, I find this chips super fast and also peels off the nails. My nails to seem to be stronger using it however teh repeat application is so necessary it being to be a pain to keep it on for a decent length of time to see results. I use this between getting gel colour to give my nails some resistance, but I'm often left with a few small bits left on after it chips within a few days.
Overall, looks good on day one or two, and gives at least the illusion of strengthening.
It takes a couple of weeks to see any results, but really does help to make nails stronger. Does dry nails out a bit.
Tips: Would suggest using a cuticle oil aswell, as nails could dry out a bit
