Perfect Formula

Purchased Perfect Formula for the first time from QVC back when it was a TSV. I will stop using it. It hasn't done anything to make my nails stronger or longer. In fact, my nails are thinner and peeling. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes, and even though I would put on several coats, including the top coat, with in just a few days, it would be coming off. And this was pre covid, so I wasn't washing my hand every other second. Was a waste of money to me.

Contains formaldehyde, not necessary. I love Sally Hansen 7 in 1, use it as base coat and top coat and nail treatment, , it does it all.

@ScrapHappy Never saw it do all that much good, but also never had it do damage.

That's the story of my nails for my entire long life. Nothing other women have raved about has improved mine.

It was bad for my nails too - which aren't the greatest to begin with! I like the strengthening polish from Essie.

I used it a few times also and each time it made my nails peel and weak. I won't use again.

I use it & it has improved my nails 😉

I have purchased it in the past and found it to be one of the worst nail products I have ever used. I bought it when it first came out and didn't like it then. I tried it again when it was a TSV last year (I think) because I thought the colors were pretty. I had hoped the product was improved, but it wasn't.

It was thick, goopy, and peeled within hours on me. I don't think it damaged my nails at all, but it didn't do anything it claimed to do either. I couldn't get the product to stay on long enough to find out!

I have used it on and off. I saw a recent presentation and I really liked the colors. I have not been that impressed with some of the colors I used in the past. So I decided to pass on the new kit. Although it did seem like a good deal.

However, it made me go back through my stash and try the pink clear coat I already had. I am wearing it now. Just one coat and it's been about a week. Still on. Still looking good.

So maybe one coat is enough, but 2 coats are too thick and the polish will peel off on it own. At least that's been my experience. Which if you are like me. You can't help but start peeling it all off. And that's not good for nails at all.

I'd give it one more shot-- just one coat. If you still don't like, hopefully you can send back.

Yes thanks for writing thought it was me ,went on auto delivery when it was the TSV but have cancelled next shipment because just kept peeling off in one piece within 24 hours at least you got a few days.

I did order many years ago the pink gel coat ,and liked it, and this did not happen they must had change their formula .Well got a nail file out of the order little expensive for just one item that I can use ,but nail polish was a big disappointent .
