Revlon Post Trauma Nail Treatment: Day 1

I'm not exactly sure how long I should be doing this before I notice anything, so I'm just posting "Day 1" as a starting point and I will take you through what I'm seeing.

Day 1
Today was the first day I put on the nail treatment. I've never used a treatment before, but it doubled as a basecoat and also helps fill in ridges, of which I have a lot. The rest of the promise is to strengthen and restore nails. I don't know how much restoring my nails need, but I should be able to tell with the ridges and the strength.

Note worthy: My nails grow fast. I have pretty strong nails, up to a point. I'd say about 1" is where most of my nails start breaking or chipping. My rings finger nails are the weakest so those should see the most improvement.

Why am I doing this now?
My boyfriend got the loan for a ring. I want my nails to be beautiful for our photos and since I'm not sure when he'll pop the question, I want to start now.

Although I did get the base coat before I knew about him getting the loan, so maybe it was intuition.

What I am seeing:


 
I like that it dries fast and it dries matte but still slightly shiny. What would one call that texture? It looks like silk. I didn't like that it brushed on a little chunky on a few of my nails. I know that's more my issue than the polish... But anyway. So far, so good. Oh, I also like how it still lets your natural nails show. It's like there's obviously a polish there, but you can still see your nails.

  1. Yes! My nails still have ridges but I've definitely noticed a huge difference. They look and feel a lot smoother now. Plus, as a base coat this works wonderfully! My nails are never stained with darker colors when I use this before anything else. Good luck, I hope it works well for you!
