Fab!
Gorgeous colour with quick dry time. I find this product lasts along time and doesn’t chip as easily as some other brands. It really does help strengthen my nails!

Makes a difference!
It’s not a miracle worker, but my nails are thin and fragile from acrylics & a few coats of this makes them SO much more comfortable! Plus they look clean and shiny! I reapply every few days because it does seem to wear off a little, but it dries super quickly so I don’t mind.

Great product it has its ups and downs
Not a bad product but also not the most amazing. I do really like it but I feel like it chips and comes off fairly quickly. On the other hand it does do exactly what it is meant to do.

Say goodbye to brittle nails !
If you have brittle nails that always break this is for you!!  I notice a significant difference in about a month! Application was very easy and didn’t take very long to dry. The scent is a little strong but this product is exactly what it says.

Good for brittle nails
I suffer from brittle nails that often break and use this product to help keep my nails strong. It doesn’t stink and lasts a long time. I would recommend it. It’s easy to use and can be paired with regular polish.

Great for Nails
When applying the nails tint it is just 1 swipe for each nail and it basically covers it. Also the drying time is very fast. The packaging is secure and the liquid doesn’t spill.

Even though it is nail polish cover on natural nails. The truth is it doesn't last long. But, It will do for now. Just longer on my nails.

NAILS ARE STRONGER THAN EVER !
I have to say, I’m so impressed with the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Tint—this little bottle completely transformed my nails! I’ve always struggled with peeling, weak nails that would barely grow past my fingertips, but after just a couple of weeks using this, I started noticing a real difference. I found the best way to get my nails to grow strong is to apply this every week along with a cuticle oil! They dry relatively fast, deff still have to wait before doing anything. And the smell is not terribly strong, but what you can expect from a nail polish. Not only have my nails grown longer than they have in months, but they also feel so much stronger and healthier. They’re no longer splitting or bending—just firm, smooth, and naturally glossy with a subtle tint that makes them look clean and polished even without full nail polish. 10/10 would suggest this product for anyone struggling with nail growth and strength!

Strong
Use this often as I cannot get fake nails. Super fast dry time, does not chip, lasts for weeks. No complaints about packaging, smell isn’t atypical.

Love this product
I love this, every time I feel my nails aren't growing as fast I try this and remember how much it truly helps with the growth. Aside from that it's such a pretty glossy look, so your nails don't look plain and boring when not trying to add color. Def recommend!

Do not buy
Polish does not last on finger tips 1 day. Lost faith in this product
1 reply from Sally Hansen Consumer Affairs team - 5 months ago
Hello! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with our Hard As Nails Hardener. We are sorry to hear this product did not last long. This is not the experience we hope for you to have, and we will be sure to share your comments with the appropriate teams. To ensure proper application and to help nail polish last longer, we have provided some helpful tips below: -Before applying nail polish, we recommend wiping your nails with nail polish remover and then washing your hands with warm water to remove excess oils and dirt. -Don't buff your nails as this can make the nail surface too smooth for the polish to take hold. -After applying nail polish, allow enough time for it to dry and set. If possible, avoid hot baths and heavy housework for 12 -24 hours after doing your nails. Detergents and household cleaners can make nail polish wear off quickly. If this product still does not work for you, or if you have any questions, please reach out to us. You can give us a call at 1-800-953-5080 or chat with us through the Contact Us page on our website. We will be more than happy to help you out further.

Decent!
Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Tint is a decent product, but not perfect. The packaging is nice, and it dries relatively fast. Application is easy, but requires some technique. For the price, it's good value. However, after a while, the tint starts to turn yellowish, which is disappointing. Overall, it's a solid 4 star product. With some tweaks to the formula, it could be a 5 star winner. Still, it's a good option for those looking for a durable nail tint. Four stars from me!
