Excellent kit! Easy to use, and very effective. It's a tiny bit messy because the powder jar is SUPER full and it is very fine powder, so it does spill a bit. Put down a sheet of paper under the jar before you dip your finger so you can catch and reuse the powder that escapes. It creates a strong but slightly flexible coating with one dip, and a very strong much less flexible coating with 2 dips. You can file the top to your preferred smoothness and it is very unobtrusive looking. My thumbnail cracked last week. I used Karlash nail kit and dipped twice. It is holding very firm, and you cannot tell that the nail was cracked save a very light color change at the break. Read more

I have long natural nails and when they break they seem to always tear in the quick which can be painful and a challenge to manage when they keep getting caught on things while trying to let it grow out enough to safely clip. I had tried a repair kit from a well known polish brand and it did not work for natural nails. It would pop off or just make the nail super brittle and it would just break off. I was skeptical to waste money on another product but took a chance on Karlash because I really needed something to help maintain my long natural nails without having to cut them off every time there is a tear in the nail quick. I can say this product was a pleasant surprise and has been working beautifully. I have been able to apply, file and polish and allow the nail to grow out with no issue. I usually leave it in place for 2 weeks (3 when I stretch it) and then I go through the application process again and re-polish. Usually by the second application, the nail has grown out enough if I want to completely cut. Now with experience, I usually just slowly trim the nail down and just allow it to grow out naturally without ever having to cut the nail completely off. It should last for several applications (months) as it does not take much per use and I usually do 2-3 coats. All of the necessary items come package to repair, buff and file. Update: The one consistent con is that the glue top hardens over time and it is hard to open, I have to pull out pliers to finally get it off. It is a pain but outside of that the product works. I would recommend this product. Read more

Easy to use, works well & long lasting. Only drawback, the small jar is so slick, I spilled it all. Read more

My nails were much longer and very damaged. The majority of them were beginning to crack & peel across the nail bed! I knew I needed to do something fast to stop the broken sides from breaking further as it was already oversensitive & trimming the broken parts off isn't an option! I tried brush on nail glue & it initially worked however, it was inflexible so it also cracked, allowing the nail to be unstable again. I cleaned my nails with polish remover, buffed the nail lightly, applied the gel glue resin & dipped my nail in the powder. Once it dried, I repeated the steps once more then buffed them to smooth them. I only did the lower half of each nail...and it really isn't visible! So far my nails not only look natural but I'm having a hard time figuring out where all of the cracks were in my nails! They are repaired, supported & no longer oversensitive. This kit is AMAZING! I still have a lot of the gel glue & powder left in case I need another nail bandaid. If you have longer nails this is a great thing to keep near your bandaid just in case of a split, crack or peeling nail emergency. Don't wait until you need it like I did. I'm grateful they shipped it so fast & I received the kit the next day. My left hand first fingernail was in danger of bleeding soon if I didn't repair it. I'm thrilled with the results. It was incredibly easy & quick to reinforce the last half of each of my finger nails. It's thin but strong! The clear is indeed actually clear once buffed smooth. I don't know how long it will last or how well it will hold up but I have enough left if needed. If it holds to allow the breaks to completely grow out, I will make sure to purchase more to keep in our medical kit. Read more
