Nail-Aid Ceramide Extreme Thickener - Nail Strengthener - Ridge-Free, Long-Wear Shine Finish - Clear, 0.55 Fluid Ounce

••••>PRO’s:• Clear - can be worn under or over any polish• Nail Polish consistency (so nothing weird or that you aren’t used to using)• Inexpensive, considering the cost of other products within the market place with the same claims.• Noticeable Results in a SHORT Time period. After ONLY 3 days, my nails were noticeable MUCH, MUCH, MUCH HARDER/STRONGER NAILS!!••••> CON’s:• Frequent application required (so far)• Cost compared to quantity (when you consider the need to apply multiple times a day)• Smell is just like nail polis•••• WHY/BACKGROUND ISSUES ••••Just like you, I have trouble with my nails (Duh!!) In my case, my nails will literally BEND BACK, Flake or Split at the end edges and/or at the cornered, and even though I do not bite my nails, because of those issues, I never seem to be able to grow out my nails. And when using nail tips, as soon as the tips came off there went their durability, it took no time at all and they were bending, cracking, etch and them gone! Even after taking Maternity Vitamins or Biotin to help try and grow my nails out, even when they would grow out, they would just bend, split, or flake (and I would tear it off to keep them from hanging up on something and tearing off on their own all the way down to the quick/aka my skin and end up bleeding....yipes!!), SO.. I have looked for a “Fix” for these issues for YEARS! Having tried Hard as Nails, Whatever Horse Hoof, and a million other forgettable products because they all never ended up working, regardless of how much money I threw at the problem. So, I didn’t hold my breath when it came to my believing that this product would work.••••• OVERALL PRODUCT PERFORMANCE ••••So, WOW! Imagine my surprise using this stuff! It is just like clear nail polish, and has the same smell. I’ve been applying it to my nails twice a day. I tried once, but it ended up flaking off too easily. So, two applications seems to work well. I’ve only been using it for approximately 3 days, and my nails are WONDERFULLY HARD! My nails obviously haven’t had the opportunity to grow out yet, but I’m confident that when they do, they aren’t going to end up bending backward like they have in the past! I think the trick with this product is frequent enough application, based upon how hard you are on your nails/hands. In other words, the more frequent hand washing, or water exposure, and doing whatever that could loosen or chip the “polish” coating, the likelihood You will need to apply more frequently. However, if You do keep a good ‘coating’ on Your nails, then I’m confident You’ll find that this product does a wonderful job of Harding Your nails and helps to keep Your nails around a LOT longer than You have experienced on your own!I’ll see if I can take some time lapse pics and post them later (not sure if it will let me update my review like that later, but I’ll try.) I haven’t included any pics currently as just seeing my clear painted nails would not mean anything to you, and not add any benefit, as the results aren’t really “visual”. The results are when You can press the tip of Your nail and it is nice and hard and doesn’t bend backward, the edges do not chip, flake, split!!I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND both this product and this Seller. Shipping was Fast and Prime Free within a 2-3 days, I believe Amazon does the fulfillment, which means the shipping tends to be lightening fast from their Robo-Warehouse instead of You having to rely upon a 3rd Party to get Your order together, packed up and shipped out. I will DEFINITELY continue to use this product over the next several months AT LEAST, as I look forward to FINALLY having nice normal decently long/at least they look like they are there nails! Will see what happens over time, but I’m hopeful. *Double Thumbs up*UPDATE: 07/12/2020:I LOVE this Stuff! The photos shown are after a week! (Since I originally wrote this review.) I have NEVER been able to grow out my nails (as explained above), yet, as shown in the photos.KEY TIP = IMHO is to apply OFTEN! I’ve found that even if I use a nail file to scrape/toughen up my nails, before I apply this ‘clear polish liquid”, that over time, it will loosen from some of my nails and literally PEEL OFF as an entire piece!, but, if I apply It often/regularly (for me 2x’s a day), and just monitor my nails, then I can keep a nice, water tight seal on my nails (not every nail for whatever reason, but most, and that’s good enough for me). Regardless, of having to regularly reapply this stuff it still works better than any of the previous millions of products I’ve tried before, AND unlike fake nail tips or gel nails, my nails are not ruined/damaged when I remove the clear coat polish. It DEFINITELY makes my nails HARDER, and has kept them from bending backwards like they usually do, so this product gets TWO THUMBS UP!!!..Oh! & I’m about to buy my 2nd BOTTLE! (I spilled a bit all over myself *laughs*)2nd Bottle Down, I’m really hard on nails as I tend to have my hands buried in plant dirt (& have major personal issues with having any dirt under my nails or having dirty fingers😂🤷🏻‍♀️, like OCD obsessive about it🤪😉), The 2 Photos attached are latest long growth of a week or 2? About our of the polish again and now having difficulty finding this product available..*sighs*, so if You can buy it, DO IT!😁👍🏼

My nails are very damaged from wearing acrylics for over a year straight. Very thin, peeling, bending, separating from the nail bed... All of it. I've decided to let them grow out for a few months as a rehab period. Yes, this stuff does chip and peel in a couple days, but it literally says in the instructions to reapply every few days. So that's what I've been doing. I wouldn't say my nails are completely better, but this stuff helps with the thickness so they're not as painful anymore while they grow.

This product does what it says, but be clear. It does not make your actual nail thicker but what it does do is protects your nail by giving it a strong armor around it so that it's well protected from bending or breaking if you hit your nail against something. I'll definitely purchase again. I would recommend this over the 1 Minute Artificials.

I am impressed. My nails are damaged an weak from liquid gel manicures.I apply the product over my nails, as described and it actually seems to provide a protective barrier on my nails, while the damage portion grows out. The damaged portion is brittle, so it broke off at the tip, which I clip and file away.My nails are growing faster than expected, and the new growth feels stronger and looks healthier. I can tell when my nails are bare, to apply new coats.My only caution, it does peel after a few days if you don't add another coat. If this happens, use nail polish remover to take it off. It will peel a layer off of your nails if you try to pull it off.

The product itself deserves 5 stars. I've lost count of how many bottles I've gone through. I use it for every manicure and I think it does strengthen your nails, but more importantly I think it reinforces the strength of the overall manicure. It's the perfect base coat (I use two coats) to create a gel-like strength for normal nail polish manicures. I've recommended it to so many people and I hear nothing but good things.I'm giving it three stars because of the brush. This NEEDS to be fixed. It is way too short and only goes slightly farther than halfway down the bottle. I don't have a single nail polish with this short of a brush. I'm only halfway through the product and I'm having to tilt the bottle on it's side to get the (lots of!) remaining product. The brush it so short it feels like a cheap tactic to force customers to buy a new bottle before they actually need it. I shouldn't have to use a separate brush to use this product, but you've given customers no choice.

I have been using this for a couple months, I have an auto immune issue that causes my hair and nails to not grow well. My nails were always stubs and would break off so easily. They are beautiful now! The longest and strongest they have been in a long time. Took a second picture to show how long they are getting! I've never grown this long of nails!

This is just an expensive bottle of clear polish. It does not strengthen my nails. They still bend. A better choice for me is the Dollar Store polish. It cost less and does the same thing.Nail Envy is a product that will strengthen the nails. It strengthens the actual nails. It's not a quick fix. It is applied in polish form. After a few weeks, the nails get stronger, harder, and the damaged is repaired The nails will grow long and strong, if used as directed. . Nail Envy Strengthener is specifically for weak, red, peeling nails that have been damaged by wearing acrylic nails, gel polish, wear and tear, etc....It is their Original Formula and it's about 20 bucks. They have 2 colors....clear and blush. I recommend the clear only. The blush will streak when applied.I was going cheap....hoping this would work as well. Nail Envy is more expensive, but that is what I'm going to buy. I know it works.
