This works best *under* nail polish. I use it as a base coat. I use this or nail envy by OPI. I do prefer the formulation of Nail Envy to this because this is a bit thicker than the other and has a...

I hate this product. I can't remember how much it cost, but I got it because I heard rave reviews about it. It doesn't matter what polish I use under it, by the end of the day my polish is so...

I love using Hard as Nails when I am not wearing polish. It makes my nails feel a lot more protected and firm, which is wonderful since they are normally thin and peely. My nails feel so much...

I had badly damaged my nails after wearing acrylics for 2 months and once I'd taken them off, my nails were split, peeling, sore and very thin. I purchased this and noticed a difference within a...

Works great as a base coat, does make nails slightly firmer after a few uses. As a top coat it is not as good, it tends to slightly warp the nail color by making it putty like for a time. It will...

Really nice and inexpensive nail hardener. My nails have recently been very prone to breakage and chips because I used alot of acetone remover and changed my nail polish frequently. I found this...

I've been using this a while and really only now have gotten the hang of using it effectively. Like a lot of people on here, using it as a base AND top coat is a super way to keep your color on...

I needed a good base coat as my nails have started to peel pretty badly the last year or so. I thought I would try this one first since it's cheap and easy to get hold of. The bottle is cute and...

while I do care for my nails and always have polish on them, I had always noticed they were still very brittle. I could bend them even with a base coat, 2-3 layers of polish, plus a top coat....

I got this to use with my holos and duochromes because I heard that it doesn't diminish the finish like other topcoats. It actually appears to enhance the color of my nailpolish. The brush is great...

This is great! Its very cheap and comes with quite a lot of product! I have a nail polish that as soon as I put it on it chips off but when I use the hard as nail over it it lasts for almost a week!

I have this in the natural pink, but it doesn't differ very much from this one, just adds a slight, slight natural pink-nail hue. I already have very, very hard nails, but I used to bite my nails...
