Sally HansenMiracle Cure®, Nail Strengthener, Infused with Micro-Mineral Complex, Natural Protein, and Antioxidants

After many years, using another nail strengthener product, I decided to give this a try. Glad I did. It’s helping my nails.

Goid product, have been using for years on my very weak nails that chip all the time. Has been increasingly difficult to purchase at retail stores. Equivalent ones are also difficult to find except at large home shopping & costs alot to ship.

So far so good! Packaging was great and intact. I have purchased other Sally Hansen products from my local drug store before and the box and bottle seemed consistent to the Sally Hansen brand.I have had thin and bendable nails my whole life. I have never been able to grow my nails out past my finger tips. Whenever they would grow, my nail would inevitably bend and break off. I wouldn’t describe my nails as brittle because of my nail’s flexibility, but once that bend occurs, because of how thin my nails are, the nail breaks off. I have used acrylic nails in the past to get instant length, but with all of the nail salons closed, I wanted to test if I could grow nails myself with upkeep.Now for the polish itself - The formula dries pretty quick. I applied one thick coat to all of my nails and it took about 8-12 minutes to dry. The finish is pretty high gloss (that may be from how thick of a layer I applied). Once dry, when you run your finger over the layer, it feels like a normal base coat but with a little more *slick* to it. Within the first day of use, when I apply pressure to the tip of my nail, it is definitely harder to bend. I find that my index finger nails are the *THINNEST* and i am experiencing little bend with this polish.The wand is slightly longer than I expected, but it allowed for more control. If you are a Sally Hansen veteran, you know that some of the polishes come with a wider wand to allow for more coverage (a wand that I prefer). unfortunately, this wand is just the standard thin wand.with all of that being said, this is MY FIRST DAY OF USING THE PRODUCT. I do not want to give off a wrong impression. Based on other reviews I have read, this product’s integrity is very much based off of a one of one experience. I do not want to say that this product will work for EVERYONE because that is not the way that solutions like these work. Not everyone will have the same reaction. And again, THIS REVIEW IS BASED OFF ONE DAY OF USE. I am documenting my progress and reaction in hopes of being able to say if you have similar nails to me, this product will work or not work for you. I will update this review with progress and more feedback about the product. I intend on re-applying once I notice chips and wear.

So, it is just going to be a life long struggle ladies. I take the biotin, I mix in the collagen powder, I use paraben free products . . . but, alas, the hair, skin and nails could use some help. (This wear the rant about men slapping on a little Vaseline twice in their lives and having better skin than I do should go.) Bottom line, yes I qualify for the 'severe help' needed. I do really like this product and it does help. I can actually see white at the end of my nails and it has been there longer than 30 minutes. (Actually, about a week.) I have used this product in the past and it works well enough to purchase again. However, it is not a fix. (I guess that really would be a miracle.) It is not going to repair your nails and suddenly change life long battles, you do have to keep using it if you have really weak, dry, brittle, etc. nails. If you just have damage from artificial nails but normally have healthy nails it is probably a limited time thing. So, it helps, it repairs, it strengthens . . . . but you do have to keep using it.

It does all it says it will do plus some. It holds my fingernails together when they were chipping and cracking. Now, with this on there it doesn't happen. They are growing long again. I love it!

It does exactly what it says. Nails stronger and growing faster with no yellowing of the nails. Quick drying. Easy to use as an undercoat for colored polish.

I have horrible nails...they split, peel and break. I tried this but for me it just didn't work. Might be my fault since I didn't keep up with it as often as I should. I have yet to find any product that helps my nails, including vitamins for nails and hair.

I was just visiting with my mother the other day, and we actually talked about nails. Honestly, I've always been jealous of my Mama's thicker nails that grow with no serious effort. Some of her genetics did pass down to me (we both sweat like desperate crackheads dancing in an overheated sauna) but definitely not the nails. My nails have always been thinner and peel easily which makes it easier for me to peel myself. Neverending cycle of trauma!Ths Miracle Cure has been exactly what it is named for! This is seriously the best product I've ever purchased for my delicate nails. You have to apply it every other day if it's just a clear coat, and it is easy to apply. However, you could also paint another layer of a different clear coat on top of the Miracle Cure; it's what I do to keep my fragile tips protected if I dont have 5 minutes to spare. It's great as a base coat as well.Honestly, it's at the base level of pricey. However, it's so worth it if you want to eventually look at your nails from the backside and see your actual nails peeking over the top of your fingertips. It's also cool if you want to reboot the end of "The Secret of My Success" when Christy is in her bare shoulders and evening gown admiring her ring (and nails!) in the air while waiting for Brantley to go to the opera. Yes, I love '80s movies as much as I adore Miracle Cure.
