Finally A Nail Product That Works
I don't submit product reviews, but Essie's Advanced product has been a nail saver for me for 3 years. Because my hands take a daily beating (and they look it too), my nails chip, peel, and break at the nail bed (ouch). Since using this product regularly, my nails rarely have these problems, if at a...

Not my fav…
I usually LOVE everything Essie, but this nail hardener was a huge disappointment. I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work and nothing works.

Love this product
I apply two coats and love the way it makes my nails feel and look. Nails appear to feel stronger . I've used other nail strengtheners but this is the best.
Works great
Verified Buyer
This hardener works great, but as other reviewers have said it takes forever to dry. When it does it makes your nails nice and strong
Strengthens nails but takes FOREVER to fully dry
This stuff is good in that it does make my nails harder and more resistant to breaking. However, it takes AGES to fully dry, and makes it look bad. I applied my final coat at 2pm and didn't go to bed until midnight and still woke up with sheet marks.
It's OK

It says last for 3 days, noticed little improvements in nail strength
Just why…
So..Tell me why this made my nails WEAKER than they were before I started using it. I don't know if this one of those products that get worse before they get better but I am so angry this broke my nails off(maybe it breaks off the old to create new ..idk.. but if that is the case they need to disclose that lol.)
