Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Diamond Shine Base and Top Coat

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 picked one of these up from the beauty vault and I am seeing some good results so far!

The packaging is probably the weirdest part of the product. Its a a nice shiny silver which is a cool feature but i can not figure out whether it is glass or plastic.. it almost feels like its glass with a plastic coating around it which cheapens the design a bit. The lid on mine also detaches from the brush sometimes but it screws back on easily so not a biggy.

Now on to the actual product. It goes on so easily, be extra careful to tap a bit off because a lot of product comes of the brush and its quite runny. I like that its runny because I find some of the OPI polishes go gluggy very quickly.

Drying time is reasonably quick, i'd say 2minutes tops and you're set to go with the next coat. I like that it is a multipurpose base and top coat too, super convenient. Make sure you use the push and pull technique when applying it and be extra careful that you don't apply too much as it has a tendency to bubble if you do.

I think this product definitely live up to its name "diamond strength" My nail polish is lasting days longer than it usually would and its all because of this stuff! Its making my nails incredibly strong and more durable.

After using this product I'm excited to try some more Sally Hansen stuff!

I ordered this wee baby from the Beauty Vault, and while I haven't been disappointed with it - It definitely hasn't wowed me either.

I find it a fast drying and good performing base coat. I don't use it as a top coat because have others I prefer.

I have noticed however that it is great to apply under Nail Wraps (which I wear frequently) as it gives the glue a nice base to adhere to (and makes them easy to remove) so I would repurchase it just for that.

This is my go-to product for clear polish, base coat and top coat. It has a nice finish on my nails, goes on well and is nice and thick. It lasts well and doesn't chip. I particularly like to use it as a glossy clear polish to make my nails look shiny and healthy.

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 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.

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

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 .

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.
