You probably don't need to be told, but I LOVE nail polish! You likely do to- I can tell. But, of course, there had to be a but nail polish and everything that goes along with it can do a number on your nails. You know what I'm talking about. Because I do wear nail polish pretty much all the time, I like to give my nails a break every and then. The problem is, bare nails are more susceptible to damage and the ever feared break *shock* *horror*. That's when a product like Sally Hansen Nail Rehab comes into play.
'An innovative nail treatment that helps strengthen weak, ravaged nails. Strengthening, sheer pink formula, with Jasmine & Rose extracts, instantly fills in ridges & conceals damage.'
The new Sally Hansen Nail Rehab works double duty as it not only protects nails from future damage- it dries with a firm protective finish- it also treats them. Formulated with jasmine and rose extracts it works to strengthen even the weakest nails. I haven't been using it long enough to back up those claims, but I do love that this gives my nails a protective barrier while treating them. It also works as a great base coat as it smooths nails and does conceal any imperfections like the thin spot where you might have peeled off nail polish and a layer of nail came off with it. Not that that has ever happened to me personally or anything...
The formula is thick- thicker than any treatment I've used in the past- and to be honest, I expected it to streak upon application, but it does apply smoothly. I was a bit surprised when I saw the brush as it's a cute little, stubby brush, but it works perfectly with the thick formula. For a thicker formula this does self-level so there is no need to worry if you're application is a bit uneven.
Nail Rehab dries to a similar milky, peachy-pink giving nails a healthy glow. I love that it allows me to skip a step in my normal routine, and since the formula is thicker and dries with a sturdy, protective finish, I find that it lasts longer on my nails and makes them less prone to damage.
Overall, I love this treatment! As I mentioned, I haven't been using it long enough to know how well it will actually treat my nails, but in terms of a protective no-nail-polish-nail-polish it works amazingly well. Do you have a favourite nail treatment or no nail polish nail polish?
