Long last
I like how the nail polishes from essie are all long last. I put it on for a week or so, still no chips. Also, I like the idea of 8-free formula. However, different colors have different levels of difficulty to apply. For example, I had no problem with "designer debut", a light pink-ish color, very ...

Don't decide based on the star rating
I bought this after quickly scanning reviews of the nail strengtheners that were in stock while I was in the store. My nails are peeling a lot at the tips and I needed something that would really protect them because going bare and using cuticle oil and hand masks wasn't enough. My experience with t...

Pretty color, that's it.
If youre looking for a grrat nail strengthening polish, OPI's orginal (not tinted) is the best hands down. My nails arent breaking and brittle with it. I bought this because I wanted a sheer color with my OPI. I'm not allowed to wear polish at work so I opt for a really sheer color or clear. I was originally going to buy DIOR's but everyone said this is a dupe. The color is perfect but it chips and peels after a day. My OPI has helped it chip less but its still not worth the hassle. It will peel and it will chip almost immediately so i would not bother.
It seems to help

but you have to use it every other day minimum
Made fragile nails even worse!
I've used this product for just shy of 4 weeks and in that time, it has made my already fragile nails even worse. Every single fingernail is peeling and cracking. I've had to trim and file them all the way down to my fingertips.
Disappointed
Purchased this to try - I have been using a couple of other brands of the same kind of product with great success. This one disappointed. Peeled and chipped by morning after.
Doesn't last
The polish starts flaking off by the 2nd day! Such a disappointment
