Our verdict

A film forming strengthener for weak, brittle nails that guards against chips and splits. The title says natural tint while the description calls it clear, so expect a sheer finish.

Overview

Sally Hansen sells Hard As Nails as a nail clinic in a bottle, a strengthener of film formers brushed onto bare nails and under the tips. The film hardens the nail surface to resist chipping, splitting and cracking.

Protecting brittle nails while they grow is what it does. The listing muddles its shade, calling it a natural tint in the title and clear in the description.

Who it's for

Bare nails that peel or crack, worn alone or under color. People after visible color or salon gel wear will want another product.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Strengthens weak, brittle nails
  • Prevents chipping and splitting
  • Applies under tips too
  • Long lasting protection claim
Cons
  • Tint vs clear unclear
  • Spec form says gel, no curing info
  • Wear time not listed

Performance notes

Film formers dry into a hard, flexible layer over the nail and under its tip, absorbing knocks that would otherwise split the edge. Protection lasts while the film is intact, so it is reapplied as it wears.
