The nails alive 24hour nail hardner is GREAT. But it gets thick anyway to prevent this?

Hi Judy - it usually doesn't get thick until you are getting low; when this happens, I just add a little nail polish thinner to it & then it works fine... i love this product!!

I've had nails alive for 6 months (about) and mine is not getting any thicker. Sorry, can't help you.

A few drops of polish thinner--NOT POLISH REMOVER--worked for me when that happened. I do love this stuff.

Sorry, I had been using NailTek but have decided Nails Alive is better and the same price. I don't use it every day with a new coat, though - just once a week, two coats.

I try to use a very thin layer and let it dry for a long time before putting on another coat, then using multiple coats of a top layer. I have found that this nail polish comes over very easily regardless but the top coat makes it last for an extra day maybe

The polish peels right off if you do it thick enough. I have been using it now for 3 months and my nails are still fine.

Mine became very thick and goopy within a month, but I use it almost daily. I just ordered the Seche Restore to fix that problem. It is totally worth the slight headache and luckily, the manufacturer has a solution.

I had used the other nail strengthener which worked very well. This requires a coat a day to maintain a fresh polished look. It peeled easily unlike the original. I'll go back to the original OPI nail hardener; better product.

Mine hasn't.What some people do when they want preserve they paint a clear coat of fingernail hardener. It's clear so it doesn't change the color, yet it provides a plastic coating.

I guess you are asking about a air compressor. The nail gun uses very little air, but you need to keep the pressure at 90 psi. Many of the new compressors run at 125 or higher. This is good because the regulator will keep it at 90psi. That will keep nails at a consistant depth. Oilless are less maintenance, but are louder and wont last as long.

It is more like a thick foundation for gel nails. It gets hard, but not as durable or thick as acrylic. Good for split nail repair or reenforcement for natural nails but weak with tips unless you use acrylic powder in addition.

I have been using Ibd for a few months now and I find it's stronger then soak off. The only issue I have noticed is if you don't keep it very thin near the cuticle you may have edges that want to lift a bit (not like acrylics lift mind you, but still it can become detached slightly and I don't like that). I have found it to be a great product. It's easy to work with, strong, flexible and all in all pretty nice. I think you can count on two weeks if you aren't really hard on your nails (as I am). Just like any product of this type some work better on some people then they do on other people but I would say it's well worth trying out.

it is better used for acrylic nails, however after awhile it seems like the nails turn dark. I was using it for my nails, and am currently looking for something else. I like the natural look of acrylic but after awhile it got embarrassing.

If you have thick toe nails I can suggest Mehaz toenail nippers. It works great on thick toe nails.

I have done four roofs and loaned my nailer out for two others. I don't recall any similar problem in normal use. And neither of the other two guys mentioned any problems with the stapler at all. I have been very pleased with the depth of drive mechanism versus a Bostitch unit that I had previously borrowed.

its not thick , but you can put one coat on and the nail looks fine this is really good polish i love it and wish they had a bigger selection. i like this better than the china glaze

I understand it to be "self cleaning', so you really should not have to maintain it in that respect. On the backside where the airline connects, you could remove that from the tool body to look inside if you are having any issues. The only problems I've had in 20 years with my nail guns are people with "sticky fingers".

I use Bulletproof. It has kevlar fibers and helps prevent my weak nails from splitting, peeling and breaking.

This is a great nail gun for hardie and sheathing. Just remember to set the depth adjustment so the nail doesn't sink into the siding.
