    Love hate relationship

    I’m on the fence about this product. I have used it several times and I believe it has improved my nails. However, it comes off as soon as I do any kind of work with my hands. It gets very sticky and dull within a day. Am I supposed to put a top coat on? I’ve made sure my nails are clean and dry but it still happens.

    Hi there! We are so glad to hear that you are already seeing improvements in your nail strength! To answer your question: No, you should not put a top coat on top of this product. Our Hard To Resist Advanced Nail Strengthener is formulated as a standalone treatment. It is designed to bond directly to your natural nail proteins to strengthen them, and adding a base or top coat can interfere with how the formula works. If it is getting sticky and dull within a day, here are a few tips to ensure it sets properly: Prep with Alcohol: After washing your hands, wipe your bare nails with a little rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. This removes any invisible natural oils or soap residue that might prevent the product from bonding and cause it to peel or feel sticky. Apply Two Thin Coats: Apply two very thin coats, letting the first coat dry completely (about 2 minutes) before applying the second. Give it Time to Cure: Avoid exposing your hands to hot water (like washing dishes or taking a hot shower) for the first hour after application to let the bond fully cure. The 3-Day Cycle: Wear the two coats for 3 days, remove with regular polish remover on Day 4, and reapply if you'd like to continue the treatment. We hope this helps you get the long-lasting, glossy strength your nails deserve!

    Hi there 0077, thank you for taking the time to share your honest review. We are so sorry to hear that your nails are still feeling soft and split after your first round of use—we know how discouraging that can be when you're hoping for a quick fix! Depending on how damaged your nails were to begin with, it can sometimes take a little extra time for the strengthening to build up. Applying a fresh coat every 3 days is a wonderful habit, as it constantly shields your nails from water and daily wear while they recover. We truly appreciate you giving our product a try, and we hope that with a little more time and TLC, your nails get back to their happiest, healthiest state.
    Regards,
    Consumer Care Center

    Love it

    So far so good. I have noticed a change in my nails quite quickly. So here goes. I've read the reviews on this site and they seem to be all over the place at times. I read the directions... I believe that it show be in bold letters START WITH CLEAN BARE NAILS. AND REPEAT EVERY THREE DAYS WITH BARE NAILS. That's the only thing I seemed to miss. I own a janitorial company and deal with chemicals and use gloves. I actually put lotion on my hands while wearing gloves.

    Helpful to an old lady!

    My nails were suddenly splitting and snagging all the time! This is due to aging! Anyway, this product has been very helpful and just two coats lasts about a week (others I tried required repeated applications daily). Finally, my nails are getting stronger and chip/split less often.

    Finally, Strong Nails That Don't Break!

    This product truly lives up to its name. Within a week, my nails looked healthier, felt stronger, and stopped peeling. It gives clean glossy finish that looks great even without color. Perfect for anyone trying to restore weak or brittle nails..absolutely worth it!
