Today I'm going to review the Sally Hansen Vita Surge Strength Gel that I bought in my mini nail polish haul!
Like I said in that blog post, I have always had weak and brittle nails and every time I get them the length I want them to be, they always break! So, I decided to do something about it and try a nail strengthener. So I tried the Sally Hansen Vita Surge Strength Gel. I've always thought Sally Hansen was a good brand and I've always loved their nail polishes so I figured Sally Hansen would be a good place to start.
This product claims to provide stronger nails within 5 days by using Vitamin C and E. It is, "A fast absorbing gel formula for weak nails that split and peel. Leaves no color." The results are "strong, resilient, healthy looking nails."
The directions say that the product can be applied on bare or painted nails and will work in just 5 days.
I followed the directions and applied the product everyday on painted nails (because they were already painted and I didn't feel like taking them off) for five days. I honestly didn't see any difference. I continued using the product everyday after the five days, and still. no. difference.
I'm wondering if the product didn't work because I had my nails painted, but if that is the reason it didn't work, they should not have put that it works on painted nails on the box.
I may try using this product again on bare nails and I'll do an updated review if it works, but for right now, I'm not so sure it will.
If any of you guys have tried this product, let me know if it worked for you! And also leave me some suggestions of other nail strengtheners that you've tried and worked!
