Great nail strengthening polish!
I bought this to help strengthen my nails after removing acrylic nails that caused my natural nails to thin. I was surprised at how well it worked. Overall, this is a great polish that has helped me maintain the structure and length of my natural nails. It also goes on smoothly and has a good shine.

Umm....good April Fools gift....
Seriously?? It may dry fast, but chips off even faster. The only way to minimize is to layer really thick. Is very sensitive to heat - goops up - often with strings of product hanging out…yuck. I expected so much better from Sally Hansen. Though curious why there are four practically identical products - all $4.89 claiming to do the same thing - mixed but negative areas match. That is - aside from the one in the red bottle - which has mostly glowing reviews….at nearly double the pricefg

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.

Fast drying
I have bought it as my nails are so fragile. I used it just now and I am surprised how fast it dried. I will post if it helps my nail getbetter and stronger.

Disappointing
I have very weak nails & was hoping this would work but i only applied yesterday and it’s peeled off the tips of several nails.
