    Does it make your nails stronger?

    I've been using this as a base coat for about 5 months now, was waiting to review until I really had given it a chance. Is it a great base coat? Absolutely. Does it make your nails strong? Meh.

    I seriously can't tell if it has really been helping my splitting nails. I think to be quite honest my hair, skin and nails supplement, vitamin d and chia seeds have been doing the heavy lifting in that department. My nails are getting better, but after FIVE months I would have expected a LOT more.

    Get it for a good base coat, supplement your diet if you actually want strong nails.
