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.

Works fine for me
This nail strengthener works exactly how i needed it to. I did get some peeling at firsrike other teviews mentioned, but i think the key is to apply very thin layers. Once i did that, i had no problems at all, and my paper thin nails feel very sturdy
Must buy
I bought this product in march and i have been using it ever since like a base coat when I do my nails and toes. Since them I've had no breakage on any of my nails. I am most happy to see how this product has helped my toe nail because those would break so easily but now they've gotten so strong.
Perfect nail solution
This is exactly what i was looking for, a great nail product to make nails healthier with a nice sheer tint. I am very happy with it, ive used it for several days now.
Had to return within 3 days
I bought this product and then read other reviews that it peels and makes your nails orange. Three days later after applying, I noticed my nails were peeling which they have never done before and also turned orange. Would def not recommend.
