Great product! It's really saving my nails after removing gel polish. It helps prevent chipping and breakage. If amazing polishes and strengtheners like this had been around 10 years ago, I probably wouldn't have become so dependent on gel polish.
So far, I really like this product. The main factor for me when choosing products is that they are not tested on animals.
In terms of smell and consistency, it seems like a regular nail polish, but don't be fooled. I made a bit of a mistake and forgot what I read in the instructions, so I applied two coats because the first absorbed into my nails like a sponge. Don't do that! The second layer doesn't set like the first because, again, this isn't nail polish. This product doesn't coat your nails; it absorbs into them—and quickly—so you need to apply it fast. It absorbs within seconds and fully sets in no more than 5 minutes.
By the way, another thing I really liked is that you can remove it with alcohol, but only if you intentionally try to remove it. If you just use hand sanitizer, for instance, it stays intact.
I'm thrilled with the results; you get a glossy finish that looks natural and maintains the nail's texture. It even managed to fix two chips at the edges. I'll see how it holds up over time, but it's definitely better than nothing, and the overall look is fantastic. I will definitely be trying other nail products from Catrice.
