best product for strong nails
As someone who is partial to a gel manicure, but who rarely practises what she preaches when it comes to the removal process, I regularly employ nail treatments in a bid to prevent breakage. However, having tried almost all the products on the market, I’ve always been left disappointed. While my nails might look and feel sturdy after I’ve buffed away any leftover gel and liberally applied the treatment, within a week they peel at the sides and split. Fortunately, things are looking up and several new products genuinely do deliver on their promises.
Both Nails Inc and Essie’s new strengthening polishes not only have nourishing formulas, but they also have a slight hint of colour to give your nails an instant healthy look. Nails Inc Back to Life Recovery Treatment & Base Coat has a pinky hue and promises results in three weeks, however my nails felt stronger within a week and didn’t peel – truly, a miracle. Essie’s Treat Love Color range comes in three sheer shades and has the same concept as Nail’s Inc in terms of hydrating ingredients.
For those who want a treatment without the colour, look to Nailberry’s aptly titled The Cure Nail Hardener, £19. It more than lives up to its name, though you do need to be religious with your daily application. If you’re someone who prefers a DIY manicure, it’s also worth looking into the brand’s Holy Grail Bonding Base Coat. The innovative formula binds to your natural nail bed to ensure the colour lasts longer.
