I tried the Essie Hard to Resist Strengthener, (neutralize & brighten (the purple) i noticed within a couple of days that my nails were looking better but were feeling stronger. Since i was a child my thumb nail has aways spilt down the middle. I have tried all sorts of strengthing products to fix it, with no luck. But looking at my thumb nails now there is no spilt. They are looking healthy. So would highly reccomend the Essie Hard to Resist Strengthener.

I had gels on prior to using it and it helped strengthen my nails after the removal and not feeling brittle or fragile straight away. It definitely helped protect the nails and have had no breakages. It gives a nice shine to the nails with a slight pink tint. The nails look healthy and have been able to help them grow without any breaking. Will continue to use and recommend to others too.
Tips: Apply two coats to clean, bare nails and allow to dry
