A clear strengthening polish that seals nails with shine and helps resist chips and splits. It is a treatment coat rather than a color, and the spec label calling it gel is confusing.

Overview
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails is a clear polish and treatment in one, brushed on to seal nails under a glossy coat. The film shields the nail edge from chipping, splitting and cracking while adding shine.
Clear protection that also gives a glossy finish suits nails that peel or snap. The listing calls it a gel type with no curing information, and it gives no wear time or removal guidance.
Who it's for
Bare or natural nails that break easily and need reinforcement between manicures. Those who want color or salon style gel wear should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons

- Wear time not listed
- No color, clear only
Performance notes
The polish dries into a hard, glossy film over the nail plate that takes the knocks the nail edge would otherwise absorb. Protection lasts only as long as that film is intact, so it needs reapplying once it chips.
