Have you ever wondered how to strengthen your natural nails? If you have been searching for a product or action to answer all of your nail problems, then one of these three tips may be your holy grail for strong and nourished nails….

Take Care of Your Cuticles

Sometimes you can eailsy neglect your cuticles when manicuring nails at home. One tip when trying to grow strong nails is that you need to make sure you keep your nail bed moisturised, to help nails grow. By using a cuticle conditioner, such as Nail HQ’s cuticle oil , you can rejuvenante and condition the cuticle area to help prevent nails from cracking or peeling.

Use A Nourishing Treatment

We all know the benefits that argan oil has on dry, split ends and de-hydrated skin – if you missed it you can read my post on argan oil for hair and body here – but did you also know that it can improve your nails too? Nail HQ’s All in One varnish with argan oil helps to replenish minerals to prevent brittleness and breakage by moisturising and conditioning the nail. Using this product under varnishes or on it’s own, I have found it to make my nails feel stronger and also helps them to grow a little bit longer than usual.

Always use a Nail Base & Topcoat

When applying nail varnish, it is always best to use a base and top coat, not only to protect your natural nails but also to strengthen the lasting power of your manicure. There are lots of products available on the market for this. One great invention that Eye Candy London have come up with is their gel nail wrap system, which has a gel nail like finish and high shine gloss. I have been really impressed with the base coat for this product, but actually found the topcoat to perhaps chip a little bit sooner than I would expect it to. But, if you are looking for a super glossy finish, then you will probably fall in love with this product.
