I can't really speak on whether or not this made my nails harder because I don't usually have weak nails. What I can say is that this made a great base coat under other Londontown colors. I would rate in as being on par with the current base coats I use. If you need an additional boost in strength this might be a good option for you. The general instructions recommend using this under any Londontown shade, or use it alone for up to seven days while adding a new coat each day. 

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Pale pink crelly

Coverage: 2 coats

Notes: This is a bit sheer for what I generally prefer, but I think it offers a nice, clean, natural look.

Londontown Gel Genius Top Coat is a sun curing top coat (no lamp needed). I swatched this on a sunny day, so I couldn't say how well it works if you live somewhere overcast. I don't know a lot about the technology behind sun curing gel, but my guess is that it won't have the same effect without the sun's uv rays. 

I used this top coat over Invisible Crown (previously swatched above). As you can see, the shade appears even softer with the top coat.

Formula: Nice consistency

Finish: Bright red with orange undertones

Coverage: 1 coat

Notes: This is one of the more orange leaning reds that I own. It's quite bright and definitely different from all of the reds I own. I think I probably purchase cooler toned reds which is why this one sticks out so much.

There are two different ways to use Londontown Smudge Fix, so I picked the "for smudges" option. As you can see between the before and after photo, it does a decent job recovering from the damage. That said, I almost wonder if I should have used the instructions for minor nicks and dents. If you look at the left side of the smudged area you will notice that there is still a lump along the edge of the smudge. Smudge Fix didn't fix that lump, and a top coat didn't smooth it out. While the lump is still there, I would always pick Smudge Fix over redoing my mani. It's definitely not perfect, but it's the most innovative, and useful smudge fix product out there.
