This stuff works, but not completely as some may think.

My nails are still soft and still peel, so is not a cure. But as long as it is on under my nailpolish, it prevents peeling and therefore the peeling off and chipping away of my nailpolish.

Before using this, I thought it was the different polishes I was using. I'd do my nails at night and later the next morning, I'd already have chips in my polish, despite using various base coat products.

For some this may cure, for others, like me, this willl at least preserve your manicure much longer.

So, I do recommend this product.

Peels off WAY too easily. I have to repaint my nails like once a week, almost NOT worth it. And it does not strengthen my nails.

This product arrived with the box looking worn and creased. When I opened it, I found the label on the bottle to be wrinkled and angled on the bottle. Still not wanting to believe I had been duped, I applied the product, which had a weird consistency and almost no shine. It began peeling off almost immediately. I then went to Ulta and bought the product again and compared them. The one from Ulta was pristine in both box and interior label. The product worked and looked as I remembered from having it applied in a salon. Buyer beware, folks. This is the second time I received a counterfeit product in the beauty supply category. It will be the last.

My nails are not the worst so I found that this actually did work for me. I put one coat on at the beginning of the week and a second one towards the middle. I had hoped to keep it on until a week had passed since the first coat, then remove it all and start over (as the directions said). I did not have a problem with it not drying as other reviews have said and I did not find it sticky once dried. The biggest problem was the smell once I put the second coat on. It smelled so strongly that it gave me a headache and I had to remove it all after only a few hours. I might continue using this product but I won't use more than one layer a week. I can't imagine doing it every day like the directions said!

I like it. It takes forever to dry but it makes my nails feel strong. I should be applying it more often than I do but it really takes so long to dry that I need to have a half hour set aside just to do it. Not exactly something I can do with two toddlers. But still, even with only being able to do one application per week or so, it is still much better than anything else I've tried.
