Is T.I.P.S. a nail polish or a nail hardener?
No. T.I.P.S. is a conditioning oil that, unlike nail polish and hardeners, does not contain any volatile or fast drying chemicals. Since T.I.P.S. is an oil, it will not dry on the surface of the nail. Once you are done applying the solution to all of your nails, rub the excess into your hands just like hand cream.
