Our verdict

A clear strengthening polish that hardens soft, peeling nails and fills ridges with a glossy finish. It is a coating, so results depend on regular reapplication.

Overview

Brushing this clear Sally Hansen coat onto bare nails seals them in a glossy layer that resists chipping, splitting and peeling. Nylon fortifies fragile nails while soy, retinol and omega oils help smooth the look of ridges.

A clear, glossy strengthener that doubles as a ridge filler suits nails that peel and bend. It works as a protective coat, so it only helps while it is reapplied.

Who it's for

Fragile nails that split or peel, and ridged nails that need smoothing, are the target. Those wanting color should use it under polish or choose a tinted product.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Strengthens soft nails
  • Fills and smooths ridges
  • Glossy clear finish
  • Helps resist chipping and peeling
Cons
  • Needs regular reapplication

Performance notes

Protection comes from the nylon-reinforced coat that shields the nail edge from chips and splits. Ridge filling works because the clear layer levels small grooves, giving a smoother, shinier surface.
