An upgrade to a classic

3 years ago
I like this new formulation of the Sally Hansen hard as nails products I feel like the advanced features really help my nails it make me feel like they're a lot stronger than they were and as if I'm doing it slight healthier then before with the original one. I think I would purchase it

Surprisingly nice

3 years ago
I am actually surprised at how this product holds up. Usually when I use nail strengtheners, they start peeling off the next day. I have minimal peeling after a few days, and I wash my hands a lot, and it's still pretty much intact. The ridges are not as visible and my nails are strong and shiny.

love the nail hardener

3 years ago
Let me start by saying I really love long nails. Although i take biotin and multi vitamins, I still have weak nails which are prone to chipping and breaking. My nails are always in dire need of attention and care..They are really brittle..Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails has definitely shown great results. I apply it as a base coat under my paints..This has not only made my nails a little more resistant to chipping but it has also made nail polish last longer on my nails. This is a really budget friendly product that I'd definitely suggest everyone to try

Pretty good product

3 years ago
My nails have been breaking from using gel polish too often, and this product was a godsend. It applied to my nails well and smoothed it out. It also stayed on pretty well without chipping.

Doing gardening is rough on my nails but I feel that Sally Hanson hard as nails shield the nails from splitting cracking and flaking. My nails are looking so much nicer.

Clear Coat

3 years ago
This product is basically a clear coat! I’m excited to see if it really strengthens my nails or not as I’m 5 weeks pp and I know my nail strength isn’t as good as it was before! It dries very quickly which I love especially having a newborn and needing to use my hands all the time!

Works well but needs protein

3 years ago
I have used this before back in the day but found better products with protein that feed my nails. This is a really good ridge filler. Depending on how deep the ridges are, 2-3 coats should work. It does make soft nail more durable. But if you have serious issues, this will work better as a top coat.

Would definitely recommend!

6 years ago
I've using this product for a couple of weeks now and already noticeing an improvement in the quality of my nails. Working in the care industry I wash my hands a lot and use a lot of hand sanditsier which tends to leave my nails looking dry and rough however with this product I have noticed my nails are starting to look more healthy and smooth. My nails seem to be more stronger recently than they have been before and I havent yet managed to chip or scratch ome since using this product! I would definitely recommend this product to other people wishing to find a solution to make there nails look more healthy and will continue to use it myself!

    Decent nail strengthener

    6 years ago
    Sally Hansen products are usually very reliable and this one lived up to my expectations for the most part. It was easy to apply and dried very quickly to a lovely shiny finish. My nails can get quite brittle as it starts to get cold but so far the polish is providing a decent amount of protection and my nails are still looking strong and healthy. My only criticism is that it isn't particularly hard-wearing and starts to come away quite quickly compared to the Diamond Strength version. I still liked it and will definitely keep using it.

        A great basecoat that helps split and peeling nails, prevents them from being stained by dark nail varnish and helps varnish stay on longer. It is effective and is the best treatment I've found so far.

          Only been using a few days but I can already see an improvement in the strength of my nails. They don’t seem to be peeling or snapping as easily which is great. Going to continue to use and hope it strengthens them further

            Clear liquid and nice brush, can be used a few different ways. I was excited to try it as I have very brittle nails that tend to break easily and I was not disappointed. Easy to apply gives a high shine finish and my nails are so much better. Would recommend.

              Believe I had the wrong item sent, but it still said it did the same as the hard as nails one. The brush applied the treatment is easy strokes. Nails are looking shiny (I used it as a treatment rather than a base coat to other colours). I found it dried really quick too.

                I regularly use Hard as Nails because it really works. However, the brush inside the cap is far too short - I can never get to the last quarter of the bottle - such a waste. Surely you could make the brush longer?

                Love this product as my topcoat! Stays around for 3 weeks or more. I really like the feel of the bottle that makes it easy to hold. Easy to open bottle and price point is inexpensive. Typical nail polish smell but not overwhelming.

                I got this from influenster complimentary. I'm a house wife and a mom of 4 . so my hands are always and in water. My nails are very soft and break easily. As named hard nails I thought it might be a serum or something that will help my nails but actually it is more like a clear polish. It has a shiny finish and can be used as a top coat.

                It was a pretty solid product! It was ok, but it was a little streaky and took some time to dry down. It was A little smudgy and didn't fill in my nails as much as I would like.

                To be fair, i have fairly strong nails. they do chip on the sides because i constantly use hand sanitizer and wash hands. seen top coats stronger than this. Would not repurchase. Ive tried several variations and this one is low in the totem pole.

                3 years ago
                My nails are usually thin and easily break. I like that they feel stronger when using this product. The only thing I didn’t like is how easy the product peels off my nails. I have to apply a fresh coat every few days. It would be nice if it could last longer without reapplying.

                i have used Sally Hansen nail polish plenty of times before. This is a simple classic clear coat. I used it as a base coat for my nails. I liked that the applicator brush was longer and easier to control, the polish itself was also not thick and easy to apply. Always a solid cheaper nail polish brand

                The usual

                3 years ago
                this is the usual hardener. I am not sure if it's the chemical that only holds off for a few days or what but it just a regular hardener for your nails. it doesn't add any gloss or anything.

                3 years ago
                While the polish made my nails look pretty and shiny, it has not strengthened them yet. I’ve only had it on for about two weeks. My nails are pretty brittle, so I would probably need more time and consistency.

                3 out of 5 stars.

                Maybe a fluke?

                I was sent this product to try from Influenster to try in exchange for an honest review. I am someone who paints my nails every week. I don’t get them done because I get bored and that would be such a waste of money. So I started using this as a base to my nail polish routine. I don’t know if it’s coincidence or the product but my normally very strong nails have been breaking. Almost every single one has broken this past week. I’m going to keep using it and see if it continues to happen but kind of disappointed.
