This didn't work for me. I used it for a few weeks and it made my nails peel more than ever. When I had it on with polish and topcoat over it it seemed like my nails were a bit stronger but I still...

This applies very easily and becomes sorta gritty so the polish sticks to it very well. Plus it makes my nails feel stronger. For the price, well, I do think it's a little expensive but it has...

For how much this costed, I expected better than what I got: 1) the cap would separate from the brush, and I'd have to screw it back on 2) it got goopy quickly 3) it actually made my nail...

So far so good, I think it’s difficult to really tell if ridge filler works or not unless you have fair quality varnish & topcoat to go with it. There's no cracking or peeling, dries quickly &...

This has been my HG base coat for 2 + years. I purchase mine from a seller on Ebay and usually buy 2 at a time. When you apply this, it dries to a chalky, gritty consistency and really helps your...

Well, looks like I've found a new holy grail. It doesn't work miracles; I work my nails hard, given my job (staff RN, dozens and dozens of handwashings in a 12-hr shift). But this has, over the...

I ordered this on Amazon for under six dollars. I didn't know it had formaldehyde in it so I kinda regret buying it. I just decided to try it out since I got it already, but I couldn't help but...

After doing a bit of research online for a new basecoat for my soft nails, this is what I ended up with. My nails were in terrible shape, for some reason, never getting a chance to grow long before...

This is a great base coat. But... I suspect that it has caused me an unsightly case of the peelies. I bought this in November and had been using it for about a month with great results until nearly...

Does the job, but I believe there are much better base coats out there that have nail hardeners etc in them. Would repurchase but at a much cheaper price.

I used this for three weekly manicures. My nails felt a little stronger but after three weeks they looked dry when I removed my polish. Four of my nails broke at the sides. It contains formaldehyde.

My nails are naturally weak and peeling - so much that I caved in and got gel nails. That lasted for a couple of months but the nails kept breaking off so I had a manicurist remove them - she...

Great Product!! It comes in a MATTE formula and dries clear (mostly, a tiny tiny bit smokey). Great as a base coat. It does fill the ridges and settles into any cracks etc. This means that...

I bought this after reading all the good reviews. I was hoping this would strengthen my nails because they are prone to breakage. Unfortunately for me, this did not work. I don't think this made my...
