From damaged to healthy nails
After gel polish left my nails in really bad condition I decided to try this nail recovery polish and I’m honestly obsessed! It’s easy to apply, dries quickly, and lasts really well even with everyday housework. Most importantly, it has made such a noticeable difference in restoring and strengthening my nails.

Disappointed! It took enormous effort and two hours to get this result. Brush is crooked, nail polish is not thick enough. It’s three layers on the photo… 😩 Do jot recommend.

I searched for nail concealer and this came up. The photos make it look like the product has a subtle color to it. It does not. It’s just clear nail polish. It’s not bad but it’s not what I was looking for. This is the second time in as many days that I’ve posted a negative review for deceptive pictures in the target app. I hope more attention will be paid to accurately depicting your products.

This alone dries super fast and leaves my nails shiny and hydrated! They are able to grow out without as much breakage.

base coat
Dries pretty fast, depends if you like that or not. Could wear the base coat by itself since it lasts so long

Ok
Works for a couple days and starts peeling off. Dries pretty quickly compared to others. Wide brush so easy to apply.

Nourishing Base Coat
I love both the Argan Oil Base Coat & Top Coat. Feels amazing to the touch. Shiny, smooth & not too thick.

Only strengthner i buy
As a base or alone this works really well to keep nails healthy. It also helps polish last longer then it would alone.

Must have
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never used a base coat before and now I’m asking myself why, I love this stuff my nails feel stronger and even if my nail polish chips my nails underneath still look and feel good! Seems to dry pretty quick too

Weird brush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It seems to help polish go on top smoother, but the brush is a little weird. One corner is cut at an angle. Thought it was defective at first, but their top coat has the same brush. Weird. I’ll continue using it but unlikely to get another when it runs out.

Strengthening Base Coat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Base Coat is a must!! It helps to protect your nails from polishes that stain (hello red and blue, looking at you) And also reduces the appearance of ridges to help polish go on smoother. The strengthening ability of this base Coat is the icing on the cake. I've tried tons of base coats and I'm really enjoying this one. The brush is the perfect size and it's easy to apply. I used it on my own nails as well as my daughter's nails.

Great Base Coat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing product! I really feel like it strengthened my nail bed. When I took of my mail polish, my nails didn’t feel brittle and felt not thin either.

Strengthened Nails
My nails are really weak, partly from genetics and partly from bad habits. Because of this, my nail polish chips off the third or second day after I paint my nails. After using this base coat, My nail polish lasted almost a week before chipping, and my nails bent less in general. This is a great buy if you're looking to strengthen your nails or just make you nail polish last longer!

The worst. Makes nails chip the next day.
It makes my nail polish start chipping the day after I do it, and that's using other Sally Hansen products with it. Normally I use the Sally Hansen Pure hardener and the Pure top coat and it's 4 or 5 days until it chips. Doing my nails takes way too much time for them to start chipping the next day. You'll notice that only four of the now $179 reviews are verified purchases. The rest are promotional. I always filter those out for a true picture.

I've always been a FAN!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this base when I gave myself a nice mani pedi....went with the Frenchie design....it came out FLAWLESS!!....I'm not nail tech just blessed with decent skills to make the job look good! I was not disappointed....my pedi actually lasted longer than 2 weeks....I purposely waited to see how long it would be before there was chipping. My nails lasted 3 whole weeks!! Definitely recommend

Great Base Coat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked great as a base coat but I'm sure I saw a significant difference in the strength of my nails. I have pretty strong nails to begin with so I'm not upset about that. Between this and the top coat my polish lasted a solid week. I definitely will continue to use.

Best nail strengthener!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have super thin nails from getting my nails done often. Sometimes I give them a break and this strengthener is just everything! It brings them back to life!!
