essie nail care, strengthener treatment, vegan, Hard To Resist Advanced, 0.46 fl oz

I wear acrylic nails and they have RUINED my natural nails. They were weak, brittle, splitting, wouldn't grow. I wanted to stop wearing the acrylic nails to help my nails recover but my nails were a mess. I bought this based on the positive reviews, hoping for the best but not expecting much. I was very positively surprised. This stuff works great! My nails are stronger, way less brittle and they have started growing! No more splitting! In the beginning, i wore 2 coats of it under my acrylic nails and that actually protected them and my nails grew and hardened under them. I am very happy with this product!! My only con would be I don't love the smell, but other than that it's great. It evens dries pretty quickly!

I never write reviews, but I am SO impressed with this product. I’m a 50-year-old perimenopausal woman who has always had healthy nails, with no issues growing them. Suddenly, they’ve begun to break, split, and peel—overnight and constantly. I’ve always loved Essie nail polish so decided to give this a try. Used two coats (and sometimes three) for two weeks, replacing every three to four days. My nails are completely back to normal. And such a pretty pink tint, too. Don’t hesitate to buy this if you’re in need of nail repair!

I have the bad habit of picking and biting and chipping off my nailpolish, including gel. This is the only thing that will stay on, not chip off and keeps my nails healthier. I was done using gel and my nails were brittle. I used the 4 sided nail buffer, trimmed and filed nails and this product over. I love it!

Perfect for a minimalist manicure that still feels put-together.Highly recommend if you like soft, clean nails without the fuss.

I wanted a polish to wear when I keep my nails short and without any gel manicure. I stopped getting them indefinitely because they were ruining my nails. And all the local salons are high-volume/less concerned with your experience type of places. I keep my nails short most of the time now, and I like this polish's natural look. It lasts nearly two weeks with two coats on well-taken-care-of nails.

This is a great and inexpensive cuticle oil with a brush applicator. It is a slightly watery formula but it keeps cuticles and nails hydrated. The skin around my nails look a lot healthier and have less hanging skin and hangnails since I have decided to keep them moisturized. Has a light scent of apricot.

I recently damaged my nails attempting to do gel at home. I chose this product thinking it would benefit my nail healing journey. While I will admit, it does seem to strengthen my nails, it chips after two days of wear. Additionally, I chose this product for the brand thinking that Essie is a top one. I will continue to use it at this point because I don’t know a better option, though I would never recommend or repurchase.

I love the pink tint and purple tint to help my nails look their best without much polish. Purple neutralizes and brightens and the pink tint helps with glow and shine. I love these polishes and would order again. I like using them alone but also use them as a base coat.
