  • It Works!
WOW, this stuff really works. I bought #3 for hard brittle nails. I have used it for three days now & already I am seeing a different in my nails!

  • Perhaps the winning product has finally been discovered.
Pleasantly surprised. Finally found a product that seems to be helping my dry, brittle nails. It's only been a week of use, but no adverse reactions have been experienced, so that's very encouraging.

  • Pretty good ridge filler
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Foundation 3
I’ve had ridges in my nails forever. Not sure what caused them but I got my hands smashed in a folding lawn chair when I was a kid. I was too young to remember but it must have been bad because I ended up in the ER and that was in the ‘50’s when you had be pretty bad for your parents to take you there. Nothing broke just looked really flat from what my Mom told me. It was just the beginning of many trips to the ER for me. Yup, one of those kids. My nails have gotten worse with age and now split easily up the nail and get chipped at the ends and snag on things. This filler has a pretty big brush and is thick so it goes on pretty easily. It dries pretty quick, looks dry in 2-3 min and is not sticky after about 5-7 min. I think to get an even texture on my nails and fill in all the ridges it takes 2 coats. But wait to let it thoroughly dry before the second coat or it makes a mess. It lasts well for about a week to 10 days unless you do something with your hands in water for some time and then it’ll start looking wrinkled and start peeling. I tried using a top coat to make it last longer but it did the same thing. I don’t have a lot of experience with fingernail polish since I’m a 66 yr old man. I feel like my nails feel stronger after doing this for a few months but they do still chip on the ends. I’ve started filing my nails instead of cutting them and that has helped a bit too. I might try a different ridge filler to see if it lasts longer but I’m happy with this one for now. I think it’s a good product and would recommend it for someone with some serious ridges and weak nails. What I’d like to do is get a coat on the tips or front of the nail and keep them from chipping. This brush is too big and puts too much on to do that and it ends up under the nail which just feels weird and I’m not sure it’s a good place to have nail polish. ... show more

  • I'm in love with this product!
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Foundation 3
I am in love with this product. My nails have always been strong and grow fast; however, within the last year or so I began to develope ridges. I don't know why, but I did, and they would show through my nail polish. I put 2 coats of this on, waiting an hour between coats, then another coat on my left pinky and ring finger because those ridges are the most pronounced. Wow! the surface is now smooth. Sure the ridges are still a bit apparent close up, but the surface is smooth. I would be okay with a clear top coat without being concerned over the ridges. But with a coat of color the lines will be indistinguishable. I know other reviewers say to only use 1 coat, but use what you feel is necessary. It's your product! I would whole-heartedly recommend this product. ... show more

  • It really works
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2) Color: Foundation 3
Yes, if the ridges are deep, you need 2 coats. But as mentioned by others, I love the matte and natural finish The base coat product seems to work.. too soon to tell. The last one, moisturizer … well the instrucciones call for daily use, I thought it was an oil but it is an actual polish. Not sure how I feel about daily applications so only doing it twice. And I did get 4 bottles of that one :( Update: I have been using this product consistently for weeks now. The nails are stronger, however it chips between a couple of days. No wonder they suggest to apply the top coat daily. ... show more

  • Really like it
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Foundation 3
I've tried too many base coats and treatments. My nails are brittle and crack, so most make the problem worse because they harden the nails even more. I haven't had that problem with this base coat. It also fills ridges enough to make polish look nice and it doesn't peel.

  • Buy this nail hardener
If you have brittle nails this really works. The price is great and the amount lasts longer. I would definitely buy again.

  • Disappointing
Size: 0.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Foundation 3
I bought this to fill small ridges. It is a whitish product and mostly did that. Unfortunately, it also dried out my nails and polish wouldn’t adhere (it was chipping the same day). After 2 tries, my nails were very dry and all but 1 snapped off.
