Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Daily Nail Treatment Review

Hi everyone! I used the Maximum Growth treatment everyday this past week, and as promised here is the review! Read on to see if this helped my brittle, short nails...
Claims: From Sally Hansen's website "A growth treatment that fortifies and protects nails so they can grow. Triple-protein and silk formula instantly reinforces soft, bitten and weak nails."
Packaging: This comes in a nail polish bottle, with a rather narrow brush. The brush helps me apply this treatment precisely. The cap is a nice size and easy to grip. 
Formula: First thing to note - this is a bit thinner than most polishes and base/top coats. It applies evenly and isn't goopy. The treatment dries super quick, under five minutes! This is very convenient to use - the polish goes on smoothly and dries so fast. This treatment chips so much on my nails though. The next day or two and I had some huge peeling chips. I can usually go 5-6 days without chipping with a full manicure (base coat, polish and top coat) so I was disappointed with the lasting power.
Before: My nails tend to peel towards the tip. They are rather thin and the peeling makes it hard for my nails to grow.
After: This is my typical nail growth/length after a week. The Maximum Growth treatment did not result in faster growth. 
Results: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Daily Nail Treatment did not work as a growth treatment for me. This really adds an extra layer to the nail, which may *help* growth because it could prevent peeling. However, this chips so quickly that my natural nail was almost always exposed. In the picture, you can see the layers of treatment and then my own thinner nail tip.
Final Thoughts: I don't dislike this product. It does add a layer of hardness to the nail which helps prevent peeling. However, it chips so quickly and leaves my thin nail tips exposed, you would probably have to re-apply up to two times a day. I like to wear color on my nails, so maybe I'll try this as base coat..  I would recommend this if you like to wear clear polish and need some help with peeling nails. Just be prepared for some chipping. 

Has anyone tried this Sally Hansen Nail Growth Treatment? Did it work for your nails? How do you think it compares to other growth treatments?
