    I really like this stuff. I've been doing my own nails for as long as I can remember and this is one of two (the other the dc revlon pink bc) that helps prevent my peelies and does not stain my...

    I'd give Toughen Up a zero rating if MakeupAlley would let me. I bought Toughen Up as a substitute for CND Stickey when the Stickey was out of stock. It was a major disappointment; it's hard to...

    I'm glad I came here to read how this product fared in actual use. I've been researching nail strengtheners and hardeners for several days (recently removed artificial nails). There's so...

    One use of Toughen Up made my nails dry and caused them to break at the sides. It doesn't have formaldehyde, but the second ingredient is denatured alcohol, which is drying.

    Pros: Fast drying and my manicure lasted a week without chips. Cons: It made my nails turn yellow after repeated use so I won't be buying this again.

    This is a great alternative to Nailtique or Amera's Natural Nail Prtein treatment. As with all strengthening treatments, over-use may cause brittleness, so use as directed and take...

    At $6 a bottle, this is a great deal for both a strenghtener and a base coat. My polish does not peel as easily as it used to with cheaper base coats or OPI, but I do not have oily cuticles and...

    On the bottle it says it's a natural nail strengthener and base coat. Thankfully I have naturally strong nails so can't really comment on that aspect. However, as a base coat it didn't stop my...
