Does it really cover in one coat?

Most shades give solid color in one coat. Lighter or sheer shades may need a second for evenness.

Is it a base coat or a color?

It is a colored polish with strengthening ingredients. You can still use a base coat under it for extra protection.

How does it compare with gel polish?

It is a regular lacquer, not a gel. It dries without a lamp and removes with standard remover, but it will not match gel's multi-week wear.

Will it strengthen my nails?

The formula includes pro-vitamin B5 and green tea and is marketed as strengthening. It is a cosmetic coating, not a treatment for nail damage.

How long does a bottle last?

The 0.45 fl oz bottle holds enough for many manicures. Keep the cap tight and store it upright to slow thickening.

What does Cemented look like?

Cemented is a muted gray shade, a neutral that works for everyday wear.

Our take on the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Nail Polish, Cemented

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails is a strengthening nail color built around a formula with pro-vitamin B5 and green tea, aimed at nails that chip, crack or split. It promises one-coat coverage and uses the Perfectionist Brush, contoured to fit the nail curve. Cemented is a muted gray shade. It suits shoppers who want a durable, budget-friendly color coat rather than a salon gel manicure; rivals like Essie and OPI offer more shades and glossier finishes, but Hard as Nails is known for toughness and quick coverage.
