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.

I love the nails-aid products, have used 3 other products and loved it. But I order this and got the Keratin 3 day growth. I can’t ask for a refund or replacement and couldn’t find how to contact the seller, so that’s why I am writing this review.

My nails have always been really soft and brittle so I needed something to help them grow out stronger and this really works. My nails are much harder and don’t split/crack as easily. Very pleased with this product

The cost was reasonable, and it arrived quickly and was easy to apply. However, I was bummed to see no noticeable impact on the strength or thickness of my nails after using this. I'm an anxious nail bite-er, and sometimes I can go quite awhile without any issue but then BAM! all my nails are gone and my nail beds are bleeding. Its embarrassing, and I generally will cover it with acrylic nails while they heal and grow out. However, my nail shop is not in business yet, so I thought to try this. When my nails are healthy, I have strong, clear, straight nails (I don't have damage due to acrylics); so I had a bit of expectation that I would get closer to that with this product. Nope. Not much different from your average top coat.

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.

I have extremely thin, brittle nails. I apply 2 coats ION nails as base coat first, then this fabulous product. It turns into a very strong shield for my nails and strenthens them. Tested this over and over again. My nails do not break for the 1st time EVER. Even in the garden without much glove use. Without this I have brittle nails. Bravo!
