I was lucky enough to score one if these from the beauty vault. I found that the packaging was quite plain and not really appealing to me. I find that the product goes on easy and dries super fast. I have been using this product for two weeks and I have found that it hasn't improved the strength to my nails. It also peels off which is really odd. I have used this as a base coat for my nails and also as a top coat and have found that whatever color or range of actual nail polish I wear last longer. I sadly wouldn't repurchase as it hasn't improved my brittle nails.

I LOVE Sally Hansen, and this formula sounded ideal for my brittle, flaky nails, but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. It dried nicely and gave AMAZING shine, but it flaked of my bare nails within a day or two (it certainly didn't make them any stronger in the meantime), and wasn't much better over top of nail polish! It did make my polish wear a little longer, but only because it wore/chipped off in its place. I still adore SH, but unfortunately this product doesn't work for me :(
I brought this as I have always been a fan of Sally Hansen, and wear their diamond strengthening treatment all the time and that works wonderfully. So after debating paying double the price of other competitive products took the confidence of past experience. It was easy on, the brush was nice to use but the lasting effect was not so good. Applied 1 coat as a base, then popped on a colour followed by 2 of this as top coat. Was very shiny which was wonderful as I love high glossy nails, but after 1 day it chipped and I never did anything too highly excess to warrant this, where as other top coats can last up to 10 days before chipping, so I most definitely wouldn't use again
While this product does give you a beautiful shine on your nails, the fact that it chips and peels within the day makes it a bit disappointing. I would suggest using it only as a top coat and finding a better base coat that will keep your nails protected from peeling nail polish.
I love Sally Hansen products but this one didn't blow me away. It peels of quite easily and doesn't shine anymore than the normal top coats I have used. One thing that does make all Sally Hansen products amazing is they dry real quick and solid.
I have been in search for a good top coat for a long time. I decided to give this ago since Sally Hansen has been around a long time.
To be honest I wasn't overwhelmed. It went on ok, however it tends to make the nailpolish go a little uneven. I also found the polish did not last.
I wouldn't say not to use it, but if it was between this and another brand I would probably advise the other brand.
Does give a really shine as a top coat but didnt prolong my nail colour or prevent chipping any better than a lesser known cheaper brand. I like alot of other Sally Hansen products but this one was disappointing especially for the price paid .
Good quality product however the strength isn't quite that of diamonds as it can peel off. Nevertheless still a quality product but quite expensive for what it is
Tips: Don't apply too thick
I really like this top coat - I find that it makes my nails last a couple of days longer than some other top coats, and is especially good over glitter polishes. The only negative is I find this takes quite a long time to dry - maybe I just apply it too think but it takes forever!
I used this not that long ago and i dont think its that great honestly, i didnt like the way it went on for one and the brush seemed to not fan out at all over the nail..i need but brush to fan! it hasnt really prolonged my nail color either, so i wouldnt bother with this one.
