essie nail care, strengthener treatment, vegan, Hard To Resist Advanced, 0.46 fl oz

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have been using another brand of base coat and then top coat and decided to try this all-in-one version.Nail strength:My nails are weak and I find I need to keep polish on them all the time or they chip/tear. Functionality:Having both a base and a top coat all in one is appealing.Longevity:Longevity is yet to be seen but I usually have a problem with polish chipping within one day of applying.

I decided to try this clear tint pink "Glow & Shine" from Essie as the pink armor polish I had been using is not available to ship to my location anymore per Amazon. I am not sure what that means as it is available from my local big box store in my city, but decided I would see what else I might like. I am very pleased with Essie as it is just the right pink color. I also think the brush is shaped just right to apply on polish onto nails. It is somewhat wide shaped and flat that goes over the nail very well and leaves a polish layer that goes on very smoothly. I may look into more Essie polish colors.

I wasn’t sure this product was going to work but OMG. Originally purchased in Nov of 2024 when I had DESTROYED my nails with a drill. They were so so thin, my fingers even hurt.I used this polish for months (because I was too scared to try any new gel or dip) and my nails are so strong. I’m sorry I don’t have pics but all I can say is that it does work; however, I also let my nails rest of no gels or dips or anything, just this one product.Now I always use it as a base coat before doing my dip powder .

Perfect for a minimalist manicure that still feels put-together.Highly recommend if you like soft, clean nails without the fuss.

I used to use Sally Hansen for cuticle oil, but got tired of applying with the brush. This came up on a random ad and I’m so glad I purchased, application is so much more convenient AND it smells really nice.

Dis oil really works. I tried other one from Amazon, but none of them work as good as this one. I love it whenever I’m free and I’m sitting down. I rub it around my nail and I massage it through.

I used this product for 2 weeks the results have been amazing for me. The skin around my nails changed and then the nails started growing and getting stronger. Highly recommend.

Loved this product for 2 months and realized my nails were turning yellow 😞
