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.

Hard to resist is a great polish!
The product color is glow and shine and that is exactly how it looks on the nails. The nails look fresh and clean. The price is great too. I will buy this again.

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!

A life saver
I typically don’t leave reviews, but in this case I have to for this product. To preface my nails are in terrible shape after years upon years of abuse due to acrylic overlay, S&S dip powder, and ripping them off when they grow out because I was too impatient to get them removed by a professional. I have since decided to grow out my real nails, and while all the damaged nail is grown out, I’m trying to get my real nails healthy and to be stronger so I decided to try this product. I wanted to give it a few days after reading the previous reviews stating that there was peeling and chipping in some cases on the same day as application . I did not expect much because I don’t have luck in this department. However, I was surprisingly shocked. I do A LOT of cleaning, cooking, and washing my hands constantly because we have a giant breed dog who slobbers . I also work an 8 hour job at a desk where I’m typing all day. I am not gentle on my nails at all, and I never have been . Needless to say this product has held up beautifully. There has been no peeling no lifting no chipping no cracking, or anything. I highly highly recommend this product…. it’s fantastic. I love the slight pink tint it gives to my nails as well. I did 2 coats 2 days ago on clean dry nails, so no lotion or anything. it dries very quickly, and they look the same today as they did when I put it on. A few days ago. I use cuticle oil at night as well thinking maybe it would affect the product but no issues and No notes! LOVE IT!

Not Impressed
I am disappointed with the color. It is supposed to be pink and looks more reddish. Will probably go back with the Dior Glow. It’s more expensive but looks elegant

Si funciona, pero debes ser constante
Mis uñas eran fuertes, pero despues de un tratamiento médico, se debilitaron y resecaron mucho, se partian y se escamaban con facilidad, comencé a usar este esmalte reparador y la verdad en una semana de usarlo con constancia, ya estoy viendo la diferencia, las uñas se ven mas sanas, aún falta pero es solo el comienzo

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.

Pretty shiny finish
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

Perfect recommendation
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

Definitely 'Hard to Resist' -- I love, love, LOVE this essie product
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"
