Most strange!

Most strange!
My nails have been splitting like crazy so I was looking for something to hopefully treat them. I usually use Essie products and like how long they last without damaging my nails. I was excited to try this after reading the good reviews so pretty much put it on as soon as it arrived. I followed the directions and thought it looked quite a nice shade as I was applying. Fast forward to the end of the first coat. I go to start my second coat and it’s the strangest thing… the first coat has entirely ‘soaked into’ my nails! They look like I’m wearing no polish. I looked through the reviews and found nobody mentioning this so either my nails are just in shocking condition or everyone except me was expecting this outcome! Hopefully it’s doing them some good and I’ll be able to increase the rating once I know how it lasts. I will say that the split nails, index and middle in the photo, look far better than they did with the split layers held down. Watch this space…

    Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: Hard To Resist AdvancedVerified Purchase
    I 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!

    Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: ON A ROLL APRICOT CUTICLE OILVerified Purchase
    This 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!

    I 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.

    Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: Neutralize & Brighten (Violet)Verified Purchase
    I 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!

    Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: GLOW & SHINEVerified Purchase
    I 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

    Amazing. 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!

    I 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.

    Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: GLOW & SHINEVerified Purchase
    I 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.
