    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
