Ive used this on and off for a couple of years now and it never fails me. I used to spend quite a bit of time in the water teaching swimming and my nails would be soft and brittle and split all the time, i found this stuff used to help harden them and then when i stopped teaching it almost repaired my nails. No more splits and i actually found that my nails actually grew faster using it, probably because they weren't splitting all the time!! I found it really good as a base coat and it dries super quick too. Definitely a good one to have in your nail kit. Consistency is the key thou.

This product is amazing. It seems like a weird concept, being that it is a treatment for nails but no where near as instantly gratifying as a bright nail polish...
I have hard nails (thick & strong), but they tend to flake in layers and get little airpockets in them where they've had the most impact (I am not to gentle on my nails) and they always break in little chips on the sides. So I tried this product in conjunction with the Sally Hansen Long and Strong and found that my nails were definately longer and stronger and the breakages were less. They were definately healthier. So I would say try it.
Tips: I used it in conjunction with Sally Hansen - long and strong for maximum results.
Love it! I have watched this product transform in packaging over many years and the product has always been a winner. Still using it today!!
Tips: Great as a base and top coat.
I bought this a couple of months ago when I ran out of the usual stuff I use (Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle) and they didnt have it in stock. Its definitely a great product that does what it says it will. Hard, strong nails that definitely dont break as easily as normal :) It dries really fast too which is great if you're using as a topcoat over colour!
This is my "can't live without" product. I have always suffered with weak, brittle nails that have rough cuticles that split and gather at the edges. But using this baby every morning has made a huge difference, ok there is odd days I lapse and miss but overall 4-5 times a week keeps my nails in tip top shape.
Tips: Use with Sally Hansen Cuticle Oil to soft the cuticles to prevent the drying of them and then splitting. And use acetone free remover so you don't undo the good work
I cant speak highly enough about this product. After having acrylic nails on and off for 4 years I decided to give my natural nails and go at growing themselves......... after bare nails for 6 months now.. my nails look amazing!!!
i have very thin fragile naisl, im quite low in iron so my nails arent the strongest regardless but this product definitely helps keep them less brittle and prone to breakage, i wouldnt say that this makes my nails hard as such not on its own anyway but i did use it with sally hansen anti chip top coat with nail polish and my nails were so hard! but this product on it own isnt really perfect but still good and worth a try!
I didn't find this really worked that well, and found that it flaked off really quick. I find olive oil is the best for preventing splits and also hardens them.
I wasnt expecting much at first, because it was only $8 but it was easy and quick to use. It dries quickly to, which is handy for an inpatient person like me. It does work, you can tell the difference and it works as a base coat too.
As a nail biter growing my nails is a struggle! I go through stages where I give up for a while and always use Hard As Nails to help me. If you are a biter you will understand how weak your nails get when you attempt to grow them. This definitely helps strengthen them and gives them a nice sheen too. I now just need to learn to give up permanently!
Tips: I felt it worked best if reapplied every 1 - 2 days, otherwise it peels off around the sides and weakens.
