- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: Hard To Resist AdvancedVerified PurchaseI wear acrylic nails and they have RUINED my natural nails. They were weak, brittle, splitting, wouldn't grow. I wanted to stop wearing the acrylic nails to help my nails recover but my nails were a mess. I bought this based on the positive reviews, hoping for the best but not expecting much. I was very positively surprised. This stuff works great! My nails are stronger, way less brittle and they have started growing! No more splitting! In the beginning, i wore 2 coats of it under my acrylic nails and that actually protected them and my nails grew and hardened under them. I am very happy with this product!! My only con would be I don't love the smell, but other than that it's great. It evens dries pretty quickly!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: ON A ROLL APRICOT CUTICLE OILVerified PurchaseThis is a very nice product and let me tell you I was skeptical. The oil comes out of the container in a way that doesn’t cause it to drift down your fingers or onto your pants or furniture. It rubs in nicely and sinks in fairly quickly. There is no scent. I haven’t noticed any improvement to my cuticles as of yet, but I’ve only been using it a few days. I’m hopeful. This is a win so far!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: ALL IN ONE BASE COAT & TOP COATVerified PurchaseI love this nail polish - it can be used just as a transparent base or on top of your manicure making your nails shiny and gel effect. Also helps the manicure to last longer.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: Neutralize & Brighten (Violet)Verified PurchaseI was initially really frustrated with this polish: I was expecting two coats to give me a beautiful, subtle lavender sheen that stuck around for a week, maybe, before I needed to put on another coat. What I got is no change in color and almost all the polish chipping off in 2-3 days.
But... and this is why I still give a 4 star review... my nails are INCREDIBLY weak and easy to break, and after a week they suddenly aren't. They feel stronger at the tips. I smashed my finger into something while mowing the lawn earlier today and barely chipped a nail - I was expecting the entire end to have broken off.
So maybe this isn't as aestheticly pleasing as I hoped, but I am going to keep using it. I would love a little more color but I value having nails period over that!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: GLOW & SHINEVerified PurchaseI have been chewing my nails my entire life (49 years) and they’ve always looked hideous. I recent had acrylics put on in a salon and when I took them off my nails had grown but they were paper thin. I started using this product and now my nails are strong and rock hard. My friend and family are shocked.
I love that I can use this for natural looking nails or a top coat over polish. I will continue to use this product and I’m excited to finally have nice looking natural fingernails
- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: PinkVerified PurchaseAmazing. I’ve used just about everything on the market to help my thin nails that also split down the middle & this product really helped in two weeks. I know that seems impossible. Try it!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: GLOW & SHINEVerified PurchaseI recently damaged my nails attempting to do gel at home. I chose this product thinking it would benefit my nail healing journey. While I will admit, it does seem to strengthen my nails, it chips after two days of wear. Additionally, I chose this product for the brand thinking that Essie is a top one. I will continue to use it at this point because I don’t know a better option, though I would never recommend or repurchase.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: ON A ROLL APRICOT CUTICLE OILVerified PurchaseEasy to apply and I honestly think it is helping my nails. They usually break, split, or peel. Lately I've actually had to file them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Living up to its promises
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: GLOW & SHINEVerified PurchaseI like to research products before I purchase. I found a number of on-line reviews of this Essie 'Hard to Resist' nail strengthener -- the number of positive recommendations prompted me to try it. So far, it has lived up to the advertising. It has a gentle pinkish glow -- not garish in the least -- and gives your nails a neatly buffed appearance. It is not high gloss like many top coats -- it is much more subtle. I have worn it for about one week and so far, there has not been any chipping of the product, and my nails are not splitting or peeling. I will try it over the next few months to monitor its effectiveness and will update this review, if necessary. So far, I highly recommend this product, and bonus -- it's not expensive.
