Product Information

But once your nails are healthier, you can use Nail Defense as a basecoat or topcoat. This will ensure continued protection and nail strength. But, what is the healthiest manicure for your nails ? The answer is easy. It’s the manicure that uses a nail strengthener as a basecoat. With over five years’ experience in beauty and health journalism, Florence has written for ELLE, Women’s Fitness, Sister Magazine, National Geographic Traveller and many more, with a strong sustainability angle thread through much of her work. If your nails are catching and tearing, creating a split then I recommend using and carrying with you a professional nail file with a fine 240 grit. If your nails are the right length for your lifestyle and have smooth edges then they will not catch. Nails that have this tendency tend to need nail oil and nailtiques Formula 3 or Orly Tough Cookie. This type of nail is dry and brittle and needs moisture and conditioners added regularly. Quite often the nail is reacting to changing hormone levels or medication and it needs TLC.

Nails, like our skin and hair do show the effects of changes in our health and diet, especially as we get older. Nails benefit from supplementation of silica and biotin, both of these ingredients can be found in natures aid Hair, Skin & Nails formula. This supplement will benefit your nails if they are peeling, flaking, splitting or very dry and brittle and tear easily. Supplements build the nail from the inside making them more resilient, nail strength and flexibility can be significantly improved this way. Most strengthening treatments include proteins and nourishing oils to help relieve any brittleness and peeling, leaving nails looking and feeling stronger. Working with Graftons and Gerrard International, lovely hands has listed 5 Orly products and 4 Jessica products to offer treatment and care whilst nailtiques is not available. Please find an Orly or Jessica product for each nailtiques protein formula below. I have had a few people ask for extra help with their nails and I have recommended taking a break from all treatment products for 2-4 weeks and just applying and massaging in nail oil 4 times a day. By having no barrier product on the nail the oil will absorb more readily, you will see a nice sheen and lustre develop over the days and will notice how silky your nails feel to the touch. Nail oil can be applied behind the free edge to absorb right where it is needed. Your nails will start to look and feel so good you might want to just use oil and not need to use treatment products.Nailtiques Formula 2 Plus, Protein treatment for excessive problem nails (post gel or acrylic treatments) Orly Breathable Calcium Boost or Orly Nailtrition used intensively, or the Jessica routine as above. Ripping off gel nails or getting acrylics without a break in between appointments will also weaken them. Always get them removed professionally, or give them the proper DIY removal treatment at home.

Do you have ridges on your nails preventing you from having that perfect manicure? Nail Armor smooths out the ridges while also strengthening your nails. It’s perfect for those with nail damage due to acrylic nails. Nailtiques Formula 2, soft, peeling, thin nails – Orly Nailtrition Can also use Orly Nail Defense or the new Orly breathable products, Orly Breathable Protein Boost, or Orly Breathable Calcium Boost. You should note that nail strengtheners can’t be used as antifungal nail polish . If you’re wondering if you can treat toenail fungus with nail polish on , the answer is yes. But you need specialized nail polish for that. We all know how pretty and convenient gel nail polish is. But it can leave you with brittle nails that break off easily. Tough Cookie will heal damaged nails from gel polish .The other important product to ensure your nails are at their best is a good quality nail oil. Think of nail oil the same way as using conditioner on your hair or moisturiser on your skin. Whilst the nail is over the nail bed (the pink bit) it is receiving moisture and oils from the skin tissue below, when the nail grows longer, creating the free edge (the white bit) the nail will rely on you to treat it well and keep it protected. Applying nail oil is easy, a very small drop placed on each nail and rubbed in over a bare or varnished nail twice a day will really benefit your nails. The massaging action is beneficial as it stimulates the circulation to the area which brings nutrients. Your nails should be touch dry in 5 mins, if they are not then use less oil next time. Nailtiques Formula 3, dry, hard, brittle, split nails – Orly Tough Cookie or Orly Breathable Calcium Boost What kind of damage are you dealing with? This will determine which kind of nail strengthener you should choose. If your nails are very damaged, you should use the strengthener on its own for a few weeks. Once your nails are healthy again, you can wear it as a basecoat under your regular polish.
