How to choose
Strong, well-kept nails start with good filing and daily care. Here you'll find nail files, nail hardeners, cuticle oils and tools from Alessandro, Abstract, Mokosh and Mii Cosmetics.
- Filing: the Alessandro profi file 240/240 for natural nails, the 100/180 for shaping and the polishing file for shine.
- Weak or brittle nails: a nail hardener such as Alessandro spa nail care sensitive or powerful nails.
- Dry cuticles: the Alessandro cuticle nail oil, the coco mango nail butter or the Mokosh argan oil for nail care.
- Cuticles: a cuticle pusher such as the Abstract pro pusher maxi.
Always file in one direction and gently push back your cuticles after showering. Fancy some colour? Have a look at Striplac.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
Why are my nails so brittle?
Usually because of dryness: lots of contact with water, washing-up liquid or chemicals. A nail hardener and daily cuticle oil help more than you'd think.
How often should I file my nails?
It depends on how fast they grow, on average 3 to 4 mm a month. Right after removing your polish is a good moment to tidy them up.
Can I cut my cuticles?
Better not, as it increases the risk of inflammation. Gently push them back after a shower and apply a drop of cuticle oil every evening.
