How To Strengthen Your Nails

We all know that having long, strong nails is the definition of goals but getting your nails to that point can be very difficult and sometimes almost seem impossible. Here are some tips and tricks on how to get nail goals!

How to grow and strengthen your nails:

  • Invest in a soft nail file, this is for a smooth finish and to prevent nails from tearing or splitting. We recommend Jessica Emery Boards For Soft Nails.
  • Say hello to your strengthening and nail growing heroes, OPI Nail Envy and Jessica Critical Care these will bring your nails back to life. We recommend applying two coats to your bare nail, then applying another coat every other day for the best results.
  • Check your filing technique. Back and forth motions will only cause the nail to splinter, that is why it is important to always file in one direction.

How to make nails stronger:

  • No need to panic if you don’t have time for a full manicure, applying a hydrating and strengthening base coat can prevent nails from peeling and becoming weak. We recommend to change your regular base coast for an OPI Nail Strengthener or for Jessica Fusion, these are formulated to help nails grow stronger and stop them from peeling.
  • Try OPI Expert Touch Nail Lacquer Remover, this will sweep away even the darkest of shades without drying the nail out.

Don’t forget to hydrate:

  • Healthy cuticles equals healthy nails. Stop trimming or manipulating your cuticles in any way. Use OPI ProSpa Nail and Cuticle Oil or Jessica Phenom Oil, use daily to repair nourish and moisturise. Dry, brittle nails will only lead to splitting and chipping.

Your hands say a lot about you, so keep those nails in good shape with these easy to follow tips.
