Essie "Grow Stronger"

Hi all and happy Saturday!  (Wh-hoo it's the weekend!)  Today's nail polish is actually a nail strengthener!  So without further ado here is Essie's "Grow Stronger" which came as part of a set to honor Breast Cancer Awareness in 2015.  The set looks like this:

"Grow Stronger" is a clear nail polish that is supposed to help your nails grow longer and stronger.  To test this I decided to wear naked nails for a week with nothing but "Grow Stronger."  Here's how my nails looked prior to applying "Grow Stronger":

I did notice during application that the formula was fine but it took ages to dry that I almost decided to put a quick drying top coat on top of it.  Even after letting the polish dry for two hours before going to bed I still woke up the next morning with marks and ripples which was annoying and didn't make my nails look nice.  I wore "Grow Stronger" for a week and here is how my nails looked like:

As you can see my nails did grow a fair amount while I was wearing "Grow Stronger."  I also feel like they looked shinier and healthier as well as having a better curve.

Overall I really like Essie's "Grow Stronger."  I definitely plan on wearing this strengthening polish more often to help my nails stay healthy.
