Sally Hansen Complete Care 7 in 1 Review

The quality of my nails has diminished significantly from frequent nail polish remover use. My nails ended up brittle, dull and often splits. Sally Hansen's Complete Care 7 in 1 was all the rage online a couple of weeks back. I was excited to try this product and see whether the condition of my nails will improve!

PRODUCT CLAIM

• Helps restore dry and brittle nails
• Nails will look shiner stronger, moisturised and brighter with ridges filled
• Contains avocado oil, sea salt, pomegranate extract and calcium
• Dries to a smooth, hard finish
• Can be used alone or with a nail colour as a base and top coat

Price: $19.95 for 13.3ml at Priceline

MY VERDICT

• I stupidly thought this product would smell like coconuts, for some reason I think all nail "treatment" products would. So took a big sniff of the opened bottle and boy I regretted that. It smells exactly like nail polish.
• I applied one coat to each nail and as per product claim, the ridges were filled instantaneously. My nails looked shiney and healthy again. I can't even see the split nail.
• This can definitely be used as a base or a top coat given it's nourishing formula.
• By the third day my nails look great!!! On the 4th day I noticed chipping around the edge of my nails (see photo below). I did go to a cake decoration event the night before, unless all the cream and custard had some effect on it? 
• Nonetheless, I think the nail treatment did my nails good, look how smooth and shiny it turned out! Chipping on the 4th day is not too bad considering most nail polish would chip on the third day.

Ingredients

Verdict
 
Pros

• Visible shine and smoothness, no clumps or lumps
• Nude peachy shade that suits my olive skin tone (Usually my fingers don't suit coloured polish)
• Sleek bottle

Cons

• One coat is long lasting, if you apply two coats it will start to flake at a rapid rate over time. I was washing my hair and found a huge chunk of polish in my hair... it flakes like the those peeling paint.
• It does not dry in 60 seconds.... I have to walk around waving my hand to make it dry faster. 
• I don't particularly like the brush... it does not assist in applying the product evenly, usually too much polish is dispensed onto your nails.

Re-purchase?
Maybe, given if I can't find another colour like this. I'll shop around, but nail polish is not an essential for me.. it's more like an excess or a special occasion product.
