Thanks, Sheryl! That really clears a lot of things up for me. I appreciate your taking the time to share your insight with us. So, for the client who is having some natural nail issues like chinks on the free edge which quickly break down, splitting, or needs a little more strength but isn't willing to go as far as enhancements, would this be enough to add a little bit of strength? Or is it basically just like having polish on?
