We don’t like to call our nails “weak”—rather, we prefer to think of them as “growth-challenged.” Fortunately, now that we have this fortifying nail enamel, we no longer have to deal with such derogatory descriptors, The calcium-enriched formula strengthens nails and prevents telltale yellowing. Not only that, but the fast-drying lacquer also works as a mani-extending base coat.
I was running out of base coat and this one looked promising because it didn't have tons of chemicals. I've noticed my nails don't have that same yellow tint as they grow out now. So it works well for me. Don't know much about strengthening, I've never had problems with nail breakage because I keep my nails short.
5I LOVE this base coat. I received this sample in a box, and had never really found a base coat I liked despite painting my nails constantly. I had dealt with peeling and breaking, and once I began using this base coat I immediately noticed an improvement. No other base coats I've used have really strengthened and protected my nails as well as this one.
5So, I have "problem" nails. They peel. A _LOT_. It makes me crazy, and no matter what remedy I've tried, the problem has persisted.
I picked this up in the hopes that it would help keep my fragile nails together without making the peeling problem worse - and it has. The color isn't white - it's more like a white-tinted sheer, which helps damaged nails "appear" healthier and smoother. The best part for me is that it's long-lasting, and so far has helped keep the chipping and peeling to a minimum, so long as I repaint every few days. It's definitely the best-of-the-bunch out of what I've tried.
