Barielle Clearly Noticeable Nail Thickener, Top Coat Instantly Thickens Nails Up To 50%, Perfect for Damaged Nails, Quick-Drying, Heals Cracked, Split, or Peeling Nails, Promotes Nail Growth, .5 Ounce

I don’t write a lot of reviews, so I really must love this product. It is more amazing than I can describe. The first time I used it was years ago when I stopped getting my acrylic nails filled. My nails were so thin and weak, but it wasn’t long before this product made them beautiful. I was suddenly able to go through life with my own, beautiful nails. This past year, a friend talked me into putting on some press on nails. It was a huge mistake that destroyed my nails. But I knew what to do and ordered this nail thickener immediately. It’s been a month and they are stronger and longer than they have ever been. I actually think I’m always going to use it as a topcoat because it is amazing. I can’t recommend this highly enough.

Barielle Nail Thickener truly worked at healing my damaged nails. Within 1 week there was a noticeable difference. Nails that were weak are much stronger. The ridges I had within my nails are fading. There’s also been a noticeable difference in my nail growth. I apply 2 coats & it dries faster than any polish I’ve ever used. I apply 2 coats. Once on there’s a slight pinkish color which I like. It makes my nails look pretty. The one downside is the polish begins to peel easily after 2 days. I consistently apply it again to keep the healing process going. It’s well worth the time. For the price this is quality polish which I’ll buy again when needed. I highly recommend!

Will strengthen your nails. Subtle shine. Been using this product for decades.

a polish clear just a little thick, slight smell maybe can protect the nail

Thanks 👍

Some of the reviews blame the product for not working when actually the reviewer just has misunderstandings about how the human body works. I purchased this product as a cheaper alternative to Mavala after I damaged my nails removing dip with an e-file, leaving my nail plate thin, red, and painful. The Barielle nail thickener did what it’s supposed to do: add bulk and a protective barrier over the nail plate. Your nails grow out from the proximal nail fold, not up from the nail bed. So this product will not make your already exposed plate grow thicker nor will it provide nutrients to where the nail grows. It provides a barrier. Initially I applied several coats until my nails were built up to the thickness of healthy nails. Once it was safe to use 7+ free nail polish again, I used the Barielle as a base and a top coat. After a few months, my nail plate grew out 80% of the damage and I began just using it as a plumping top coat. I usually use Essie Gel Setter but like how this product doesn’t get gloopy over time like the Gel Setter does or cause shrinkage like other gel effect top coats. It’s great over glitter and jelly polish, but does take a while to dry. Takes a lot of rubs and acetone remover to break down—but that’s how I know the product works and isn’t being absorbed by whatever’s below. Flower nail art photo is when I started using the product as a base and top with 7+ free polish, and the other photo is bare nails a month later so you can see the damage it was able to cover and protect.

9/24/12: So, couldn't get the acrylics on today but thought I was relatively safe with a nice thick coat of this on, I didn't feel the split ridge. But hold on - Just out of the shower, the product was completely gone (?What?) I discovered as I severely snagged my split nail again. Honestly, super glue is working better that this stuff. Please don't waste your money.9/23/12: So, my initial review was on the right track - I just wanted to ensure I was being fair. Ten days later and yet again, that nail that splits down the middle snagged, very painful. This stuff goes on rubbery. It peels very easily and clearly from this most recent experience did not keep my nail from splitting. So it's back to superglue until I can get the acrylics put back on as a protective barrier. What a bummer.9/13/12: My initial review (shown below) was pretty harsh on this product and a bit unfair as I had not used the product very long. After continued use I have found that although my nails do not feel thicker, they are holding together better than before. One nail completely splits down the middle which is why I wore acrylic nails for so many years. No polish or top coat or super glue would prevent this from happening. Ever snag a split nail? Oww[...]After using this product for 10 days, the nail that usually splits has held together as well as if I had applied acrylics over the top. The product does have a tendency to get scratched and it will peel as previously mentioned, but by does it hold those nail splits off and that is something. Well done.-----Original Review-------This product could hardly be worse.Despite applying per instructions - it went on as nothing more than a kind of rubbery sort murky top coat. Not only did not my nails NOT feel thicker, the product itself proved to be extremely fragile. When working in the kitchen I was sorry that I hadn't worn gloves because the product was marred and peeling when all was done. A typical top coat stands up better than this.How disappointing. I have thin, brittle nails, and really need some help. I ordered a couple of other products from this company for nail thickening and strengthening. When they arrive I'll give them a try and just hope they perform better than this one.
