What the gurus are saying
This nail hardener noticeably strengthens nails and lets people grow them longer without the edges becoming thin or snaggy, though one reviewer found the results unclear when layered under polish. Dr Dray, who has tested it repeatedly, reports it cuts down breakage, keeps polish on for a week or more, and genuinely changes what nail length feels tolerable. One important note: some people find these hardeners dry nails out or trigger allergic reactions, so patch testing first makes sense if you have sensitive nails.
