    Useless and expensive!

    Really disappointed with this product. It chipped almost immediately and after a few days most of it had gone from the tips of my nails to halfway down. My nails still broke when using it and they were still weak and bendy. No better than a clear polish. For the price I expected so much more and I'm really unhappy I wasted ten pounds I couldn't really afford on this! I certainly wouldn't recommend it and it had put me off trying any of their other products.

    Love this! I recently decided to take my dip nails off to grow my natural nails and this has been amazing the first few weeks while my nails were brittle and thin. Dries within a minute and stays on for at least 2 weeks. I remove the polish and reapply after 2 weeks to keep my nails strong.

    My nails are stronger than ever after using this p

    I love this stuff, it’s amazing! My nails were super brittle and dull and were constantly splitting without any given reason. Regardless of what I did, my nails would end up breaking. Within a week I noticed a huge improvement in the strength and durability in my nails. I have been using Sally Hansen miracle cure for a few months now and my nails are stronger than ever! They look very healthy and the shine is a cherry on top!

    Great product!

    I have weak nails that split and bend easily.. I used this every other day and had found it has helped. Not used it longenough yet to see how my nails really grow with it, but so far, so good! I've seen other ppl use it as a base coat. I'm just not sure if I do this, whether it will still work through the gel polish I use on top? I would definitely recommend.

    Thank you for helping me restore my nails

    I had an unopened bottle of Hard as Nails in my bathroom vanity for some time - ignored. Instead for well over a year I had purchased other more expensive products to help me fix my peeling finger nails. I did everything recommended - cuticle oil, special creams, etc, etc - my nails kept peeling. I began to think my age, 70+ and my thyroid condition was the problem. My dr said no, all was in order. So, finally I re-discovered the bottle of Hard as Nails in my drawer. I began using it, along with my ritual cuticle moisturizing routine. I saw results within 7 to ten days. The peeling was less prevalent until within 4 weeks my nails were normal. No peeling, no chipping, and the ridges that come with age were less prominent. I mean I had struggled for more than a year with sad looking nails that I kept extremely short - which constantly would show signs of peeling. However, now thanks to Hard as Nails my finger nails look normal and healthy - and I can allow them to grow to a more attractive length. While I am so happy with the condition of my nails and hands now, I am sorry I had not been using Hard as Nails from the beginning. Thank you Sally Hanson.

    This is THE ONE.

    Very effective. A friend recommended it to me 20 years ago and it has been in my arsenal all these many years. I didn’t have a SERIOUS problem until 4 months ago and thank goodness I remembered her advice. I tried Sally’s other “emergency” product but there’s no comparison between the results.

    Does not work

    My nails were super thin and brittle after months of gel manicures so I got this in the hopes of strengthening them while I gave them a break and it did NOT work. My nails honestly might be worse. Super dry, constantly breaking, no positive change in over a month. Do not recommend.

    Classic but outdated

    Very thin for what I was expecting, however I think this would still be really great for anyone wanting to use it as a top coat.

    Fantastic

    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.

    Unbeatable for the price

    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.
