My nails have been trash ever since I started painting them again. So I'm trying to give them a little break. I think it might be the base coat I'm currently using that is wreaking havoc on my poor nails. I don't want to throw out the base coat though, I might just start doing double coats to try to use it up quicker.
Anyway...Sally Hansen Nail strengtheners have never worked for me. And this is no exception.
Sally Hansen claims:
MIRACLE NAIL THICKENER
Weak nails need a miracle? With Sally Hansen Miracle Nail Thickener™, get up to 70% thicker nails in just 4 days!*
Bolster soft, thin and ridged nails with this emergency thickener.
When your nails need protection against bending and breaking, our exclusive Calcium and Ceramic Gel formula builds a hard shield. Ridges and imperfections are filled in, for thicker, harder, stronger nails.
*Measured layers of nail protection.
I'll start with the packaging. It is a purple overspray bottle. Packaging does feel al little cheap. But I don't mind...as long as the product works.
Which it doesn't.
I think part of the problem is that it does not stick to the nails. I look at it and it's chipping and flaking everywhere. For that reason I would never try to use this as a base coat. The finish would take your nail polish off just as soon as you painted them!
It is pretty glossy and thick on the nails.And it does dry fast. It also tends to bubble and look thick in a bad way on the nails.
The worst thing- I don't think it thickens or strengthens my nails in anyway. Maybe they do feel a tad stronger with it on, but I think that's just the reinforcement that any old polish can give.
I don't like this product. I don't know why it's still on the market. Mine has been kicking around for a few years and will probably stick around for a few more before I can finally use it up.
