Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
How do I use a nail hardener?
As a base coat under your colour, or on its own on bare nails as a treatment. Follow the product instructions: some are used daily, others weekly.
Can a nail hardener make my nails too hard?
With long-term use of strong formulas, nails can become too rigid and break more easily. That's why you use it as a 4 to 6 week course.
Why are my nails brittle?
Usually because of dryness: lots of water, washing-up liquid or cleaning products. Wear gloves and use cuticle oil every day.
