Essie hard to resist - glow and shine
I have no idea how this nail polish stayed on my nails the first week I used it. I use a lot of sanitizer and other solvents at work. Usually, I wear gloves but inevitably it will touch my skin and nails. It did not budge and I was impressed! However, the following weeks it just flaked off my nails every 2 to 3 days. I can't take stars off, tho. It is not as durable as I thought, but it still hardens the nails and conditions them thoroughly. No complaints. I use essies hard to resist to maintain and enhance my nail health and it does a fantastic job. The product is hot pink in the bottle but on the nails it's only a hint of sheer color. I usually add a coat every 2 to 3 days to maintain the shine after the initial application of 2 coats. 4 coats is visibly pink but not overbearing, just not natural anymore. If you flood your cuticles they will look bloodshot after multiple coats. Nails are harder, not bendy and grow without splitting or peeling. I love it. You can still break your nails by being careless. Don't forget to moisturize your hands and nails regularly, because no polish on this planet can counteract the damage of dried out crumbly nails and cuticles.

Essie Pink Tint Hardener: My New Routine
I usually cannot tolerate any nail polish, but based on online info & Amazon reviews, I decided to try Essie Pink Tint. I was able to grow a repaired nail that had split into the nail bed within a week, so I am pleased and will continue use this for preventative care. My nails do not feel suffocated & the pink tint is buildable, from sheer with a single coat to deeper pink with subsequent coats. It is very shiny. One coat lasts about 5 days. I took one star off for odor & average dry time, although I see they offer a quick dry drop, but I haven't used that. I'm sold, this is part of my self-care routine now.

Splitting, peeling nails gone!
I never write reviews, but I am SO impressed with this product. I’m a 50-year-old perimenopausal woman who has always had healthy nails, with no issues growing them. Suddenly, they’ve begun to break, split, and peel—overnight and constantly. I’ve always loved Essie nail polish so decided to give this a try. Used two coats (and sometimes three) for two weeks, replacing every three to four days. My nails are completely back to normal. And such a pretty pink tint, too. Don’t hesitate to buy this if you’re in need of nail repair!

Miracle Polish
My nails were so brittle after wearing gel polish for many months. I used this polish for about a month and my nails look better than ever. You have to keep applying the polish over several days because it's very light and peels off but it's well worth it. My nails are growing long and are no longer splitting and chipping.

I wanted to love this but it is just Ok
This didn’t really do anything for me. I like Essie products but this one was just “ok”. It peels quickly and the pink didn’t really make my nails look healthy or vibrant, either.

Love the color and nail polish brush . . .
I decided to try this clear tint pink "Glow & Shine" from Essie as the pink armor polish I had been using is not available to ship to my location anymore per Amazon. I am not sure what that means as it is available from my local big box store in my city, but decided I would see what else I might like. I am very pleased with Essie as it is just the right pink color. I also think the brush is shaped just right to apply on polish onto nails. It is somewhat wide shaped and flat that goes over the nail very well and leaves a polish layer that goes on very smoothly. I may look into more Essie polish colors.

Sticky Nail Regret
I regret not returning it. I like other Essie products, so I wanted to give it another chance or two in hopes that maybe I did something wrong the first time. No, this product just doesn’t work. It leaves nails sticky and gives an uneven, unflattering reddish color instead of the nice pink in the photos. It takes forever to dry, staying tacky, then if it does dry it peels.

I really liked this product to make my natural nails looks stronger and the touch of light pink effect what makes the difference with a healthy shiny look

essie's 'Hard to Resist' is definitely hard to resist. I simply love this product. My new favourite thing in life is this pinky-hued essie nail care product. I love how smoothly it goes on, even over ridged or damaged nails. I love how it has a subtle pink tint that makes your nails look 'finished', even though it's just a basecoat -- perfect for a low maintenance, natural look, but still polished. I love how I noticed a MAJOR improvement in my nail health after only a week -- it helps reduce yellowing and really does strengthen. The pink tint is very natural looking, and gloss is not glaring, giving just enough shine to say 'yes, my nails are done'. And one application lasted about a week of hard wearing use (I work with my hands, so any regular polish chips off in about a day). I love how polished my hard working hands looked. Did I say I love the subtle pink tint? It's what I've been looking for my whole life. Love this product. Highly recommended. For clarity, this review references the "essie hard to resist vegan nail care, glow and shine, for brittle nails, with nail bonding tech, vegan nail care, 13.5 ml"

Leaves a shiny pinkish hue on bare nails. Very pretty. Don’t put more than 2 coats as I found it began to peel off. Doesn’t make the nails very strong - maybe it nourishes if you use it frequently - but my long nails were still “bendy” after using

I found it easy to apply and it lasted about a week. The tint it gave my nails was only okay.
