Pretty & Protective: A Rosy Boost for My Nails
a month ago
The Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Hardener in Rosy Tint gave my nails the perfect touch of color while strengthening them at the same time. I love how the subtle rosy hue gives a natural, healthy look—like a sheer manicure in a bottle! It dried quickly, added a nice shine, and made my nails feel less prone to breaking. It's an easy go-to when I want low-maintenance polish with a little extra protection.

Easy to apply to nails and remove. Fast drying time. Strengthens nails! I have soft and brittle nails, when I use Sally Hansen products on my nails it strengthens them and it also stays on my nails.

Been Using for years

If you want hard strong nails, try this! I have been using this for years on my natural nails. It goes on glossy and smooth. The scent is tolerable. Great price. And dries pretty quickly. I recommend this if your nails are brittle and damaged.

This product is decent for everyday use. The nail polish applies smoothly and dries quickly. The remover does its job well, removing polish without much effort. As for the nail care, it provides basic nourishment, though I feel there could be better long-term results. While it performs well, it doesn’t stand out compared to other products. Overall, it’s a good choice for a simple and reliable nail routine

I absolutely love this brand. It always hardens my nails and it shines really good. I’ve used this since I was a child when my mom introduced this to me. I will never stop using this brand or this color or even the clear.

This Sally Hansen hard as nails really works. It has helped my nails go from brittle to strong. This dries really fast too. I love the pink tint. I use it as a bottom coat and top coat. My favorite way to use it is on its own. Smells like regular nail polish.

The key to decent nails as a nurse
2 months ago
I wash my hands a LOT. Like a lot, a lot. Consequently, my nail beds suffer and I then have to deal with peeling or breaking nails.
Getting a manicure (acrylics) isn’t an option for me so in an effort to protect my nails some other way I purchased this and let me just say, my nails have never looked better. I haven’t had a broken nail in I don’t know how long nor have I had to deal with them peeling. They look fantastic. Seriously, get this stuff. Your nails will thank you.

Works great on brittle, weak nails
3 months ago
I have a terrible habit of biting my nails and they have always been very weak and brittle. I have been using Sally Hansen’s Hard as Nails for as long as I can remember, to help strengthen my nails and it does such a great job. It hardens them and helps them look a whole lot better than my nature nail. It does not have a very strong, overpowering scent and dries within 5 minutes. I have never had a problem with it coming off either, it lasts for a very long time.

✅ Pros:
✔ Strengthening: Helps harden weak nails with consistent use.
✔ Protection: Acts as a barrier against breaking and splitting.
✔ Subtle shine: Leaves a slight glossy finish, perfect for a natural look.
✔ Easy application: The brush allows for even coverage.
✔ Affordable & widely available: Found in most drugstores and online.
❌ Cons:
✖ Requires consistency: Results aren’t instant; regular use is necessary.
✖ Can chip over time: Some users notice peeling after a few days.
✖ Liquid formula: It’s more fluid than other nail hardeners, so applying too much can make it runny.
💡 Tips for Best Results:
🔹 Apply it as a base coat before your polish or use it alone for a natural look.
🔹 Use 2-3 times per week for stronger nails.
🔹 Keep your nails and cuticles hydrated to enhance the effect.
⭐ Final Verdict:
If you have weak nails and need an affordable, easy-to-use strengthener, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails is a solid choice. Just be patient and consistent to see the best results!

Sally Hansen hard as nails tint goes on smooth and protects your nails for a long time. It dries quickly so you can get on with your day. The little bit of tint makes it look like you’ve done your nails while really just protecting them. I use it to help my nail stay strong while growing them out.

Honestly thought this would end up being just a top coat but turns out it is a gel like coat that actually does make your nails more stable and likely to break. Makes a huge difference when you have nail psoriasis.

Adds a beautiful tint to natural nails, scent is bare-able and doesn’t give you a headache. Drying time is super fast and removes easily with nail polish remover.

Nice tint and make nails hard as well

I recently started using Sally Hansen Hard Nails Natural Tint, and so far, I like it. It dries quickly, and i's very easy to apply without having to wait long for it to set. While I'm still in the process of testing it out, I can already tell it provides a nice natural tint to my nails, adding a subtle, polished look. I love the shiny look it also gives. I use it as a polish as well for everyday clean look. Overall, I’m happy with it so far and look forward to seeing how it works over time

Hard As Nails
5 months ago
I hate having super short nails, but i found it almost impossible to maintain long nails without breakage or peeling. I purchased this nail tint in hopes it would help my nails maintain at least some length. It was very easy to apply, and it doesn't take long to dry, so it is a convenient option for continuous maintenance. My nails were so much better after using this. I worked in food service for years, constantly washed dishes, and was able to hold up the coating relatively well. My nails were stronger, and I managed to grow them out super long. I would definitely recommend.

I like using this because I don't really like color fingernail polish on my nails. This gives my nails a little tint and makes them stronger. It dries pretty quick. You can find it in many stores. It comes in a small bottle.

Best polish

Hard as nails polish is some of the best! I have problems with weak nails and this polish has always done a great job making my nails stronger. I can put multiple layers on fairly quickly since the polish dries so fast.
