Nail Repair Protein for Salon Care: Gelike EC 6 in 1 Natural Nail Strengthener Hardener Extra Strong and Growth - Long Lasting and Fast Dry for Damaged Weak Splitting Break Treatment

I have suffered from severe anemia since I was young, and coupled with being a nail-biter, my nails are in rough shape. They are very brittle and dry. I was excited for the chance to try this "6 in 1 Natural Nail Strengthener Hardener" gel-like polish out. After just a week, I can tell it is already strengthening my flimsy nails. Since I'm a SAHM with four kids and a host of chores, I never really take the time to paint my nails because the color chips so easily. I really liked that there is no base or top coat necessary, because I just don't have time to wait for polish to dry! I like that it is pretty neutral and doesn't draw attention to my rough fingernails. It is "infused with proteins and natural vitamins", which is supposed to strengthen your nails and promote growth. One coat was almost unnoticeable, just a little shine, and the second coat gave it a faint pink tone, and felt more sturdy. I actually used a heavy layer on a split nail to keep it from completely breaking, and it held! Great price only $10!

I love this nail straightener. It appears as a light pink and goes on smoothly. You can do multiple layers to deepen the color. I like using this as a base coat as well.

This is the shiniest nail treatment I've ever used. A single coat has a tiny bit of a blush pink, just enough to even out the color of the nail while looking very natural and clean. The shine is the standout. It's very flattering. The color of the varnish in the bottle looks extremely bright pink but as long as you use a single coat, it is very subtle. I tried a second coat and did not like the look. Think Pepto Bismal. Note the product takes a little longer than you might expect to dry completely, and you definitely want this product 100% dry as any imperfections will mess with the shine. I have a split in a nail that just will not heal. This product has kept the nail split sealed for a week, which is helpful. I don't think this is helping with nail growth so much as it is a protectant. The one thing it does not seem to do is the thing it claims to do, which is filling in ridges. The shine makes them look better and the varnish provides a smooth surface as any base coat would do, but as far as actually filling them in it doesn't do much. I have tried other ridge fillers that worked much better, but did not have the pretty end results like this one. I would choose this product over other ridge fillers and nail treatments due to the shine and light pink color.

When I saw the stock photo with the swatch on the fingernails I definitely expected to achieve the same look when using this nail polish. Unfortunately, it takes more than two coats to achieve anything remotely near this consistency of coverage. I also did not find that it was in effective Ridge filler for my nails. In addition to that, even after proper meticulous prep of my fingernails, the nail polish did chip off less than a week. I do on the positive side like the shade of pink that you achieve which looks natural and minimal. And I do like the application brush. That being said, I would not re-purchase from this brand or seek other products as I did not like the quality in comparison to the brands. I’m familiar with for Ridge filling and natural colors. I’m also not really sure how this polish is meant to support growth for fingernails or add any strength as it felt as though my nails were more brittle after removing the polish. Perhaps this is a personal reaction to this nail polish, but I definitely tend not to reach for the bottle because of this.

I've been using gel polish (no acrylics) for a while now and my nails are NOT looking great. They're thin and brittle and splitting. I had high hopes cos it's been a problem for a while now and this looked promising. This is meh. The consistency is very thick and takes a pretty long while to dry. It's just nail polish and it chips quickly. My nails didn't feel any stronger or protected from further damage. Within two days, I had chipped pink polish. It's PINK. Bubblegum, Barbie pink. It's the color you see in the bottle. PINK. Which would be fine, if it didn't look so ugly once it starts chipping. What's the point? I just have to acetone it off now and what did that do? How does that strengthen my nails any more than plain polish? I couldn't tell you. But it's cute while it lasts..2 days. Get Sally Hansen hard as nails strengthener for $3-IMO it's superior and cheaper (this is $10 at time of review)

I used to think I was just “one of those people” destined to have weak, brittle nails forever. No matter what I tried—biotin supplements, oils, expensive manicures—my nails would always split, peel, or break before they ever had the chance to grow. But that all changed three months ago when I discovered this Nail Strengthening Protein. It started as a whim. I saw it recommended in a beauty forum where someone said, “This is the only thing that ever worked for me.” Skeptical but hopeful, I ordered it. It arrived in a simple bottle—nothing flashy—but I applied it religiously every other day, as instructed. Around week 2, something strange happened. I looked down and realized I hadn’t chipped a nail in days. My nail beds looked healthier, glossier—even without polish. By week 4, I was filing down growth instead of watching it crumble. For the first time ever, I had to trim my nails instead of just mourn them. Then something sweet happened: my grandmother, who always used to comment on my chipped nails with a gentle “maybe you’re just too busy,” noticed them and said, “Your hands look so elegant now.” I almost teared up. It was such a small thing, but it meant the world. Now, three months in, I don’t even think about hiding my hands anymore. My nails are strong, smooth, and beautiful—naturally. No acrylics, no gel overlays, just me and my now-miraculous bottle of protein.

There's nothing special about this polish. It won't grow your nails and it's no stronger than any other polish.

Used this after removing acrylics and saw a clear difference. Much less of that post-acrylic "ewww" phase (less peeling, less splitting, and my nails felt stronger within days). It applies cleanly, dries fast, and doesn’t mess with polish. Not a miracle fix, but it sped up recovery and made my nails feel less fragile, for sure.
