Makes my nails stained yellow if I leave it on for more than a few days. Didn't make my nails stronger. Takes ages to dry, around 15 minutes. I don't like the semi opaque ballet pink tint. Its...

I find this nail treatment/ base coat very strange. I can grow my nails really long because my nails are flexible; if I hit them on something by accident, instead of snapping, them bend and avoid...

Grow Stronger is a base coat/treatment. At first it seemed to strengthen my thin, weak nails, but after three weekly applications, six of my nails broke off and my nails looked dry. Although...

I have weak brittle nails with a graveyard collection of strengthening base coats. This one really is the best one thus far. Cures quickly and has kept my nails strong and long. Just bought this...

Do not buy the Australian version of Essie in any product, they are all absolutely terrible. The packaging is different and the products are very poor quality, and hugely overpriced. The Essie...

Not being a nail person, I was thrilled at the results of my first ever professional manicure a few months ago and bought this to maintain the results at home. I applied it 1-2 times a week and saw...

So good! It's a sheer light pink polish that really works. My nails felt stronger within 1 week and they were able to grow out without any breakage. I like to apply 2 coats before I do my nails...

This is my new holy grail for base coats. I work at a place where washing your hands all the time is mandatory, so naturally my nails are quite weak and brittle. Nail polish also don't last a...

I post this at TJ MAXX hoping that I would get a good deal on this product since Essie is a pretty pricey brand for nail polish. I had also heard many great things about it on YouTube. ...

I'm very skeptical about products like this but after 1.5 weeks my nails are growing so fast & they're so much harder. I love this stuff, will buy & buy again

I noticed my nails were flakey and brittle and it was making my nail polish look bad, so I decided to try and find a decent base coat. After using a Revlon one for a few years, this product is...

Didn't help my nails grow at all, strengthens them a minuscule amount and takes a while to dry and stays tacky for quite a time. Does leave a nice subtle pink on the nails though but hardly...
