    This works well for me as a growth treatment. My understanding is that it is not intended to perform as a basecoat, so it would be unfair to rate it poorly on that basis (although my personal...

    I have pretty short nails and this still chipped off within 1 day! I do use my hands a lot and wash them frequently, but this didn't hold up at all. Also didn't notice my natural peeling nails...

    This isn't truly useable with other nail polishes. When you are using a growth formula you should be letting you nails breathe anyway. Apply a coat daily (I would do it twice a week during week one...

    HG nail product. stays on my nails and actually makes them grow! I use it when I've bitten my nails and see great results after a week. Amazing!

    No good. I'm not even halfway through the bottle and the consistency has thickened so much that it's unusable. My first try with Sally amd most likely, my last.

    I got this in the super-sale bin at the drugstore & decided to give it a try. Works better than my OPI base coat, especially when it comes to stain protection, but it is not a good top coat. The...

    Do not buy regardless of price. I got this on clearance at CVS and since it was a quick dry product thought I would give it a try. Wasted $3. It just doesn't stick to my nails. It peels off. ...

    My nails never have split but they did with this product . it took a long time to get them back to normal. I like the price and I like the color selection but I will never buy this product again.

    This is the only top coat I use. After applying two or three coats of nail polish, I apply this on after waiting a minute or two and this not only gives it high shine but it also dries my nails...

    This is a really good basecoat. My nails feel healthier and they're growing! However, it's a terrible top coat. My nail polish chipped faster than it did with SH Age correct No Chip. I'm definitely...

    This didn't really work well as a base coat for me, but it was alright as a top coat. I bought it a couple months ago and was using it with good quality polishes like OPI and found that the polish...

    I hate this product. It has a very thick consistency and because of that it takes too long to dry and isn't evenly distributed on the nail. I don't use it anymore, instead I bought Maximum Strength...

    This is an excellent fast dry top coat. It's not *instant* but if you can wait a few minutes, it'll give you days of chip-less coverage. Basically, after applying your nail color, wait 2 minutes...
