I would be less flippant about damaging my nails if I didn’t have an arsenal of nail concealers and treatments at my disposal, but I do and, thus, I’m careless. Most recently, this meant prying off press-on nails that were very firmly glued on. I should’ve soaked them off, as recommended, but I’m impatient. This is all to say that when I ripped them off, I ripped off layers of my nails, too, leaving me with painfully weak nails that felt more fragile than paper. I chose to see this as a glass-half-full opportunity to test Sally Hansen’s Repair and Rescue Super Strength nail treatment, which I now love.

It promises stronger nails in one week—a long time considering the horrible state of my nails, but it was a price I had to pay. I applied one coat and my nails instantly felt better; simply thickening them with a top layer helped. Thankfully, I felt a subtle improvement after two days. My nails were no longer bending under the weight of the air. After a week of using the treatment, I almost forgot the pain I’d been through; my nails are now thick, strong, and growing fast.
Not only were my nails paper-thin, but they were ridged—I simply hate seeing them bare. The subtle pink tint of Sally Hansen’s Super Strength nail treatment was thus a major reason I chose it out of the dozens of options. With two coats of this treatment, they looked healthy, smooth, and shiny; I was the only one who knew the horrible state my nails were in.
