ESN Rock Hard - .5oz

I've been using Hard as Hoof for decades. I had grade nail gloss 20 years ago and hated the look of it, so I dropped it. Rock Hard is great, though. My nails are stronger than ever and I feel confident with fingerstyle and classical guitar.

This is one of my favorite products. Like everybody else probably I've pretty much trued everything. If you can afford it and you can find a tech who will give you a one hand/5 nail price who knows how to balance playability and durability for nails I say just do that and avoid the stress. But Rock Hard is great stuff for at home work. The MOST IMPORTANT thing is to ONLY use THIS. No fancy base coat or top coat etc. ! It is plenty smooth after buffing that it won't scrape or scratch on the strings. A dehydrator or self evaporating prep chemical is fine before use but nothing don't use anything with as any kind of coat. Probably multiple thin coats are best but this seems to be a trial and error personal preference thing. I accidentally spilled a decent sized glob on the outside of the bottle and it literally turned into amber strength "rock". I also used the top coat and base that the Rock Hard company makes and sells and the nails peeled/fell off within 2 days so again JUST USE THIS STRENGTHENER not the other product.

I have tried every nail gardener made. I have used opi nail envy for 20 years. Recently I tried this one. It's even better. It's hard, clear, and doesn't chip off easily. If you have weak nails, you need to try this one.

Voy a escribir mi reseña en español ya que es más fácil para mi. Este producto es lo máximo, soy guitarrista flamenco especializado en el toque para el baile, así que necesito un producto fuerte que proteja las uñas de la mano derecha de la carga densa de rasgueos requeridos para acompañar el baile, este producto es lo mejor para proteger y endurecer las uñas .

Been using this product for a while now. Still love the way it protects my nails.
