This has really strengthened my nails. I put it under polish, and I really can tell the difference after using it for 3 months. I always buy the one with the black cap, even though it is a bit hard to hold whilst polishing. One of my favourite nail products, and mighty cheap at that!

I like this product. I used the tinted pink to create a natural like for a french manicure. It worked very well. Not too pink and not too clear. The polish lasts without chipping and has a nice shine

Let me start by saying I have THE worst nails. I inherited them from my Father, and if I let them grow long enough for more than the tiniest bit of white to show, they will split up into the quick an eighth of an inch or more. They are ridged and paper thin. I have taken every kind of vitamin and mineral in the world to no effect. The Sally Hansen is the only thing that will keep my nails from splitting. I still have to keep them pretty short, but at least I'm not in pain with band-aids on half my fingers all the time.

I bought the "Little Color" color of this and I really am loving it.
Two coats of this is all I need to give my nails a "done" look, with just a bubble gum pink sheer tint.
They look really healthy. Great for when you have no time to really spend a lot of time on your nails.

It does go on a little gloppy, so that is the only downside.

A good product for me as my nails really suck!

Hard as Wraps is supposed to strengthen and protect fragile, soft, chipped, or cracked nails. I suppose it might if it lasted longer than a couple of hours. It is just awful--it peels off in one piece! It was so bad that I used the "money back guarantee", so don't waste your time and money.

TOP OF THE NAIL LINE FOR ME! I take it off & reapply it at least once a week. This product doesn't work right away but over time it does! I say give it a month! I have been using it for almost a year now I have been with a broken nail for 3 months!!! That is amazing since I do tons of house cleaning & I am not gentle on my nails at all. I use this as a base only.

The main problem with my nails is that they peel every now and then. This product offers a lot of protection and with two coats you get a lot of shine. I love it because my nails look done an it takes literally no time. I gave it 3 lippies for packaging quality because the brush comes off extremely loaded and it makes it a little hard to control. Other than that, I think it's a great product that's adequately priced.

It definitely strengthens my nails, but it's hard to get off, so I have to put a base coat of other nail polish on under it. Which is pretty good anyhow, since with those two coats, it lasts about a week wiht minimal chipping only at the tips of my nails. Packaging is ugly, but who cares as long as it works? Would buy again, especially since it's about $2 CDN.

After 21 years of being an avid nail biter, I've finally stopped!! This stuff has saved my nails. I have the purple tinted version and have been using it since January. My nails are now the longest they've ever been and are very strong (like nails..hehe). I usually wear it alone and its very shiney and natural. It also makes a great base coat. They even look so good that my b/f asked me if I got "that white stuff painted on the ends" (aka, a french manicure). Anyway, a great product and any nail biters out there? Try this! It really helps!

The Hard as Nails I am reviewing is the original clear in the cylinder bottle. This is the SAME DAMN STUFF as Nailtiques #1, so don't go wasting your money on that. At less than $2 a bottle, it's a fantastic deal.

i bought the classic firetruck red for $1.00 regular price. it sucked. i put it on one night, hoping to have fresh nails for the next day. i let them dry for about 2 hours (i did other stuff meanwhile!!) and then i went to sleep. after i woke up, it was chipped in so many places!! then i took all the polish off and repainted them one afternoon. alas, they chiped again within a day. looks nice for about 8 hours and then it need a reapplication. ugh so frustrating!!

I used the tint stuff. I wear those blue gloves all day so most stuff peels off & takes my nails with it. This stuff was pretty good, just peeled a bit at the base. Am trying "nail envy" this week 'cuz I feel rich (Ha Ha i'm sooo not!). Will compare the two. Like the tint of this stuff better. We'll see.

This product saved my nails. I used to have brittle nails that broke constantly. I started using this productt (years ago) and ever since my nails never break. I've literally slammed them into walls 9I'm clumsy), they've survived many moves, there is nothing I can do to break them now. I can't say enough about how great this product is. Definitely give it a try!

I bought this in "Little Color" which is a a super sheer pink tint. I first use the SH Cuticle Defense, then wait about 10 mins and then apply the polish. My nails look great and don't feel dry. I love these polishes; I'd buy again for sure.

This product is really great. It is a clear polish that has a 'little color'...clear pink. So, it makes nails look shiny, healthy, and quite simply elegant. It helps make my nails a little bit stronger, and makes any nail polish last longer. I use it as both a base, and top coat.

Couldn't find a place for Hard as Nails Diamonds, so I'll put it here. Super polish. I have it in Cassis Diamond which is a very pretty, shimmery, sheer pinkish color. The glitter is very fine, which is great since I hate obvious specks on my nails. Stays on pretty well with topcoat and is supercheap (I got it at CVS on sale for 1.99) Great stuff.

I hated this product. I liked the color but it didn't go on smoothly and it chipped off. The nail polish definately didn't make nails stronger. What a waste of money. Don't buy this product cause it sucks. Don't waste your money.

This product seemed to work for a time, but then I felt that my nails really weren't any stronger. OPI seems to work better for me.
