Ellen’s advice
How to choose
Before applying Striplac, gel polish or nail polish, buff the nail plate slightly matte. On a smooth, shiny nail, polish adheres less well and lifts sooner. A fine buffer removes the shine without thinning your nail.
- Alessandro manicure nail buffer 100/180: use the fine side to remove the shine.
- Alessandro buffer block: to lightly roughen the nail plate.
Work gently, on fingernails and toenails alike, then cleanse your nails before applying colour. Want shine without polish? Use a polishing file.

For years I treated clients in my salon. I stopped, because a treatment only works for a short while. Lasting results come from the basics you do yourself at home. That's why I now help you with a routine you'll actually stick to.
