    These have really done a number on my nails. My nails used to be brittle and weak, but once I started using this, I have had two breakages over the course of three months. I would break my nails almost every week. I would recommend this in a heartbeat. I try to apply it once or twice a week on my nails, and it works wonders.

    Actually did fill in my ridges, surprisingly! Goes on super easy and dried quickly. I usually just do one coat, so I have to redo them about every 3-4 days, but they'd probably last longer if I did 2-3 coats like it says on the bottle. The nylon-12 really protects/supports your nails under stress. I wish it came in a pink tint though! Btw they also have a Hard As Nails *topcoat* and you can tell the difference by the label ofc but the top coat also has a slight purple tint, while this one is completely clear.

    Do not buy. My nails are normally nice but after 3 weeks using this polish they’re dry & literally splitting from tips back, every single one 😠 It’s thick & peels off quickly,taking your nail layers with. My guess is they changed ingredients, it never did this in past & this is a product I’ve used for decades. Don’t waste your money

    This personally doesn’t do anything for my nails, they almost look worse than getting acrylics off. My nails were strong when I first started using it but now they are bending and breaking super easy. It does dry fast and makes my nails looks shiny but will not buy or use again

    I am 74. I had split nails and one nail that wouldn't stop tearing. In about a week the splitting nails got got better and the one tearing, after 3 weeks, the tear is gone. I am really impressed, even the regular Sally Hanson product didn't work. I will continue to use this product as maintinance.

    FYI ppl; you’re supposed to apply like more than one coat depending on how weak your nails are. I have super weak nails and 2 coats does nicely for me makes it easier to preserve long nails. It is a thick, polish-like texture so yes it is going to peel at some point. Only taking off one star because the wand isn’t long enough to get to the bottom.

    Works wonders for my fragile and brittle nails

    I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails Natural Tint! Having struggled with psoriasis just below the cuticle line, my nails have always been ridged, brittle, and fragile. This condition made me view my nails as a burden, rather than a part of me to celebrate. But Sally Hansen has turned that perception around beautifully. After discovering the impressive history of Sally Hansen and her commitment to nail care, I was eager to try the Advanced Hard as Nails formula. I was immediately captivated by the product’s promise and its added nail care benefits. The results have been nothing short of transformative. Upon application, I was delighted to see how the Advanced Hard as Nails Natural Tint filled in my ridges seamlessly, brightening my nails with a natural, healthy glow. It’s akin to how foundation enhances your face—bringing out the best without masking the natural beauty beneath. The product truly lived up to its name, offering chip-free durability and a finish that makes my nails look as if psoriasis had never touched them at all. For those moments when I desire a natural yet refined look, this polish has become my absolute go-to. It has made a world of difference, making what I once saw as imperfections into a beautiful gift. Sally Hansen’s innovation in this product is nothing short of extraordinary. I’m grateful for this wonderful addition to my nail care routine and eagerly await any future reformulations with even more benefits. Rest assured, I’ll be among the first to try them! Thank you, Sally Hansen, for creating such a remarkable product that brightens my day and enhances my confidence!

    Love this product as my topcoat! Stays around for 3 weeks or more. I really like the feel of the bottle that makes it easy to hold. Easy to open bottle and price point is inexpensive. Typical nail polish smell but not overwhelming.

    I have been using this product for a few months in between gel manicures to let my natural nails rest. (I am a monster and peel off gel the second it starts to lift) (You should not do this) Obviously, this product will not work overnight in repairing your nails. It takes time and patience, but it worked for me. Sometimes I pair a simple acrylic paint design with this as a top coat. I have used other nail strengthening products before, but this is the best one I have found and it is such a good price! This is the longest and strongest my nails have ever been, and they look so gorgeous, shiny, and strong that I don't feel the need to have a fresh manicure as often. Photo is from 4 months of application every 2-3 weeks with trimming and filing as needed.

    I love the product; overall (I do have one issues). PROS: Goes on easy, dried fast, stays on very well, and is very strong. CONS: after a while, I get some yellowing in my nails caused by the polish. I have successfully gotten 'most' of it our with hydrogen peroxide.

    One of the things I enjoy most about this product is that it dries very quickly. This makes it very convenient to use since you could apply it when you just want to add a quick shine to your nails. It works great on its own as a nice clear nail polish but it also works very well underneath a color nail polish. This product also does a great job of strengthening the nails and it’s very affordable.
