Advantages: Strengthens the nail
Disadvantages: Brush is not long enough
THE BRAND
It was not until after I had first bought this product that I realised that Sally Hansen offered quite a large range of products in most drug stores. I have only heard good thing about the brand, particularly the products that claim to strengthen / harden your nails.
THE APPEARANCE
The bottle is pretty simple, a clear bottle with the name of the product written on in pale blue writing with a pale blue lid. I like the fact the bottle is clear as you can see how much of the product is left.
THE APPLICATION
Simply unscrew the lid and apply one coat of the product to your nails as a base coat. I have quite small nails, when shopping for false nails, I always had to look for ones labelled "petite". Therefore if you have average size to larger nails then you may require a couple of brush strokes. It does not take long to dry, I usually do all my nails leave them a couple of minutes and then I am ready to put a coloured coat over the time. Once the coloured coat has been applied, I leave it to dry and reapply this product as a top coat. It leaves my nail lovely and glossy.
FAVOURITE FEATURE
The best thing about this product is the fact that is strengthens my nails, my nails bend when I do not have the product applied. Another good thing about this product is that I can peel off my nail varnish as opposed to using nail varnish remover, when I wear highly pigmented polishes and remove it with nail varnish remover it smudges around the finger.
DRAWBACKS
I am currently onto my second bottle of the product, I needed to buy a new bottle for two reasons:
1) The product had started to go gloopy, this both made it more difficult to apply and it took significantly longer to try. Whether this is a fault with the product or I had not put the lid on tight enough, I am not sure.
2) The bottle still had a fair amount left in the bottom, but the brush is not long enough to reach all the way to the bottom when unscrewed and I do not have the patience to screw the lid back on between each nail application.
Summary: A great strengthener, base coat and top coat, all in one.
