Strengthener

I received this nail strengthener in PR with no obligation to review but I've been wearing it consistently for a bit over a month now and I'm very obsessed with it so I had to. It also shockingly helped lift some polish staining I got from a different brand I didn't realize this would help so I didn't take before or after pics but as someone who used gel on her nails this product has surpassed my expectations I can't recommend it enough, I literally always have it on if I don’t have my extensions on

Excellent strengthening base cost!

I have been using the strengthener under the PVB base coat, and it has really helped the longevity of my manis, and my nails don't seem as weak as they used to be.

This stuff is fantastic. I came home with chipped and peeling nails after a rough day in the shop. This gave me smooth nails to paint, filled in the splits, and dried fast.

I got this so I will always have something to protect my nails! It's subtle but unique enough to keep it interesting.

Used it on its own on all nails except my thumb where I had to also use ridge filler. Love it, pretty color

I use this as a base coat sometimes. It's also pretty as a topper over other colors even though I don't think that's it's intended use.

I'm loving this product! I'll take Cracked's word for it that it's beneficial! I just like it, that's all I know. I'm using it as a base a lot, then I put ridge filler over it. It's also pretty built up on its own.

But it's sure pretty on its own, with that blue flash. Jury's still out as to whether this product will make a long term difference in my nail health, but with the cooler/drier months ahead, I'm willing to give it a shot! It works well as a base coat.

I used this as a base coat for a mani and it lasted really well. It also helped make my nails less bendy and more strong.

My new go to base! Really excited about it

I haven’t had it long enough to comment on strengthening, but I bought it bc my nails are prone to peeling and they are stained, so I can’t ever go nude right now. This product covers well and self levels really nicely. It’s milky and slightly shimmery, which provided a nice camouflage for my staining. It also dried nice and hard. It was lovely on its own but I added a magnetic topper to change it up and the shimmer still shows through. It’s a really nice combination. Very nice project!

I have been using the strengthener as a base for my recent manis and it works great for longevity. Also used it on its own on 2 coats and looks good so my nails are not bare.

I haven’t used it long enough to comment on how my nail health has improved, but I really like it so far. It has a slight shimmer on its own, and dries fast enough that I’m using it in lieu of regular basecoat for now.

I got this as a last chance for my nails. They were breaking and peeling. I've worn this for a week and haven't had a problem. It does take a bit longer to dry than what I was using, but it's worth it. Highly recommend!

I honestly was skeptical at first with this Strengthener, since it doesn’t contain any formaldehyde-like products (which have worked wonders for my nail peeling previously). I’m so surprised and so pleased this product is making my nails healthier and stop any peeling I had. Will definitely be purchasing the larger refill size!
I love the subtle blue shimmer to give my nails an elegant vibe when worn solo.

I’ve been using the strengthener for few days and I really love how my nails feel. I was going to wait a month before posting a review but I already see a difference just in the appearance of my bare nails. They are also peeling less. I love the slight blue flash as well, definitely makes my nails “glow” ever so slightly when I wear just the strengthener. Highly recommend!

I haven't used it long enough to see the lasting effects, however, while on, my nails feel protected and look really nice. It gives a subtle whitening effect and the touch of blue pearl makes it catch the light nicely while also filling in the ridges. They like natural nails but slightly upgraded. I like that this stays a bit flexible, I think that helps keep it from chipping or flaking off like most strengthening products do on me. I hope to have equally positive long-term results but I will likely use it either way when I don't have polish on to keep them protected and looking well-groomed.

I’ve been using this strengthener as a base coat for a couple weeks and have really enjoyed it! This base coat gives me a surprising long wear, I haven’t gotten any chipping on my free edge using this. I’ve also noticed that my nails feel strong as I’m growing them out!

moreso reviewing this as it's own shade rather than a strengthener, i'm in love with the soft blue shimmer! i have one hand with the PVB base coat and another with wearing this, so i'll see how well it holds up as a strengthener later in the week. but i'm loving it so far!

This has been a godsend to my flaking and peeling nails. I tend to wear it by itself, as my polish lasts longer when I don't use a basecoat of any king. It also works as a pretty your-nails-but-better for the days I don't have time to do a full mani. Two coats will mask the yellow stains I have from wearing deeply pigmented polish, while 3-4 create a pretty, pearly finish with a slight blue glow in some lights.

Nice tiny to this strengthener, just started using it.

I just got my order in today and am wearing this for the first time. It’s really pretty! Thicker than I expected so it took a little getting used to how to apply it. Hopefully it will hold up well!

I habitually use strengtheners and I especially like ones that have nourishing properties as well. I have very weak, peeling bendy nails and even though I keep them short I like to leave a little bit of an edge with the hope that the nail bed will continue to lengthen over time. It's working!

This one dries down to a thin satin finish with a hint of blue shimmer. It's lovely. Now if Cracked would just add thinner to the lineup I wouldn't need to shop anywhere else!

My favorite of the "essentials"! It's sheer white with a hint of blue shimmer. I actually really like this, because it hides my yellow staining well. It's a great base coat. And for me, I wore one coat of the blue base coat, one coat of this Strengthener, and then a super dark orange Polish from another brand that has historically stained my nails in the past.... And this time it came off without any stain!!!!!! Highly recommended!!!

I like it so far! I haven't been using it long enough to know if it is actually hydrating.

After only one use, I noticed that my nails feel stronger. If I let my nails grow out at all, they get a little bendy and I start having peeling issues. This seemed to alleviate both problems! Highly recommend!

I just started using this and I love that I can wear it on its own or add it as part of my manicure. I can’t speak to if it’s strengthening yet but I haven’t had a product from this brand fail me yet.

Does a strengthening base coat NEED to have a pretty blue shimmer? No. Does this have it anyway and look beautiful enough to wear alone? Yes!! I've only used this twice so far, but it has helped with polish stains and my nails feel a little better already.

Amazingly strong keep my nails safe for a week plus. Look amazing my itself for a quick natural look.
